SR5 wheels with Wheel spacers
Hey guys ive been digging for a while but just cant seem to find any pics of what im looking for. I have a 93 pickup with factory 15" sr5 wheels. (which i want to paint black) I am thinking of going 31x10.50x15 tires (BFG muds or MTZ) on the factory mags with 1-1.5" bolt on wheel spacers. Anyone out here have a setup like this that you can post pics of? mainly i wanna see a 31" tire on factory mags with wheel spacers.... colour of wheels and type of tire woudl just be a bonus! Thanks!

4 a : having or forming a continuous plane or unbroken surface <flush paneling> b : directly abutting or immediately adjacent: as (1) : set even with an edge of a type page or column : having no indention (2) : arranged edge to edge so as to fit snugly

As in the edge of the tires are "flush" with the fender wells.

I've got the same question, why spacers? I've got my snow tires on some stock rims just like those in the picture above and they fit my 1990 pickup DLX just fine with no spacers.

I guess I should have specified a little better. I have the 15x7 sr5 wheels from the 3rd gen trucks. I believe WabFabs are the 16" from the 4th gen. (i hope i got my generations correct or Ill be hearing about it shortly im sure!!!)
Why spacers? Purely asthetics, I just want the tires to be sticking JUST past "flush" of the fenders (to compensate for lack of backspacing on this wheel). If i dont stick with my sr5 wheels, Im going with some procomp steelies that will have a little less backspacing.

Those some small tires I got too, like 29s I think so they are not wide at all. With something like 31s that are 10.50 or so they would stick out just a tad with some spacers.
Those are indeed 16" OEM alloys but they are from a nice 97 4Runner.

crappy cell pic. 85 with 2" spacers to clear steering. wheels are 91 landcruiser alloys (same as sr5 mini truck but use acorn nuts not shank style) painted with hammered gunmetal paint.
