Anybody know where I can get some 2.25" wheel spacers made ? Mark cant get em and I have an email into sams offroad waiting for a reply back .
With 35x12.50 mtrs my upper bj will become an issue again even with my 1.5" spacers . Trying NOT to have to shell out for new wheels with different backspacing .

I'm positive that Fred at wheeladapter.com could make them.

Thats a great question that I dont know the answer to . Back in 2004 I bought the wheels from BOze and they are supposed to be stock specs just on a 8" wide rim .
Got a easy way for me to figure it out ????

Fred spacers are $$$$ 365 ?? . At that price I might as well order new rims with the correct backspacing powdercoated since thats my next project at $400 at the powdercoater .


Any thoughts on theses two ebay vendors spacers , there 2.00" (50mm) ....

Would it be alright to run 2" spacers on the front and my 1.5" spacers on the rear ??

** Oh yeah I am dropping the truck off at the painter in one hour for its makeover :)

Measure from inside wheel lip to mounting flange.

Running narrower in back is fine. Actually how most older trucks were setup from factory for several reasons.

Haven't heard of anyone else getting spacers from them, so quality is unknown.

One thing to watch out for w/ the first link you posted is that they are hubcentric so they will only match that size center bore.

Edit: Noticed after I posted, you already posted your wheel specs and they match so either would work.
