Just wondering
Thinking about throwing on some wheel spacers. Not sure though. Looking for advice. Good idea? Or bad? Thinking 1 inch

Wheel spacers or wheels with less offset put a heavy load on wheel bearings and ball joints. JMHO and your call.

That's what I was wondering. I know jumping the tire size up was hard on them anyways. Would mild spacers make it that much harder on them?

I'm not a fan of wheel spacers, they can cause too many problems for little gain. An 8 inch wide wheel with 4 inches of back spacing will work better, be easier to work with, and be less expensive anyway.

Thanks for the advice. I was thinking the same thing. Gonna have to stick with my stock wheels for now. Money money money. And I don't have it. Lol
