Default Wheel spacers

Anyone haveba suggestion for good 1in wheel spacers. Spidertrax seems to only go as low as 1.375in.

No 1" spacers out there because the studs on your axles are too long and would come in contact with your wheels.

Teraflex makes a steel 1.25" spacer, but they say that you may or may not need to slightly grind down the tip of the studs.

Hope this helps.

Spidertrax 1.5" are the thinnest you should run without having to cut the studs. Don't forget to follow the proper installation steps. I originally torqued my wheel spacers @ 95ft lbs with Loc Tite, then rechecked them after 100 miles (& every rotation) at 85ft lbs. Also it's a good idea to use a three step torque (using a star pattern), first at 30, then 60, and finally at 90 on the initial install. This will help correctly center your wheel spacers (even though they are hub centric). The 1.5" spacers will bring the edge of your tread just to the lip of the fender, making it completely legal in all states (running stock wheels and tires).
