I like my wheels. The only thing I don't like about them is how the rears sit about an inch inside the wheel wells instead of pretty flush like the fronts (thanks to GM's narrower rear end track compared to the front)

Well... not any more!

Thanks to the guys at Billet Specialties, I have been turned on to a guy who sells the proper high quality hub centric spacers for the rear end. They are machined pieces of art and went on without a hitch. I was always against apscers, but I talked with guys who run em on race cars and have no issues.. so here I go!

It's really obvious in person. The pics don't do the change justice. I like it!

Looks good. The problem with spacers is abnormal wear on bearings over time. With bearing lasting as long as they do, you may never have an issue with them. Especially with the low mileage your truck has.

Not worried on the rear. All they do is alter the offset of the wheel. I wouldn"t run them on the front.

Looks great.

We've heard the wide stance excuse before though, Senator LaFrance.
