Where do you buy wheel spacers from.. ?

I'm thinking about wheel spacers for me.. got new tires and wheels but the wheels are wider than the old ones.. but they are wider to the inside of the truck, and I want them further out.. looks better and gives better balance.

The new wheels are 13,5" wide (15R) and the old ones were 12" wide (15R)

Just old steel wheels Wanted to have separate wheels for the two sets of tires... one set for the summer and one for the winter.

The winter ones are brand new, 38" Ground Hawks, had them microcut and some good amount of tirenails (for traction in Ice).

how much spacing are you looking for? marlin makes some nice ones, they arent cheap, but well worth it... those are the only type of spacer i would ever use, the ones that are cnc machined and have there own studs that are in a plate that gets bolted onto your axle.... the otehr kind that the ricers use is just scary.. i have seen the crappy kind literally eat through the studs and cuase damage and run a change of injury to bystanders

I guess I'd want 1-2" I'd have to measure how far exactly..

The sole of the tires must not go outside the fender flares (illegal here) but I want to take it as far as it can go

Don't know if "sole" is a word u use.. I'm trying to explain : the part that touches the ground of the tires .. track ?

But It's fun to see that there is still something I can learn

I just looked at their website.. seems a little expensive, will have to wait a little, since the new tires and wheel package was a bit expensive
