I just recently put some explorer wheels on and the rear rims seem to not want to sit right. I had some 5/16" Mr.gasket wheel spacers laying around and wanted to know if I'd have to get longer studs or would I be okay with the length. Also has anyone ran them before, theryre universal and heard a lot of bad stuff about those kind..?

 

I wouldn't run those

 

Why wouldn't you run them? They're not that big

 

Because those are not Hub centric..You need spacers that are,,, like Spidertrax.

Oh okay, I gotcha! Thanks for the replys y'all

 

As cheap as the proper steel wheel's are just buy a set of them with the proper BS'ing and size are only $30 something each and a good set $120-150 range. Spacers for a quality set will run you that much and still not have the proper wheel.


That set would make a nice weight for a trot line when fishing.

 

I know the steel wheels are mad cheap, but I really like the look of the 16" wheels. I guess I'll just go with spacers then

 

But they probably are 16x7 rims and cast aluminum.For what the good spacers cost you can get 16 inch steel rims as wide as you want.And off road i rather have steel over cast aluminum.A steel rim you can beat back in to shape ish a aluminum will crack and have to be welded to fix it.
