2 inch Billet wheel spacers for a 2024 Ford F-250 Lariat Tremor 7.3 gas pickup truck.

[Joeysreef]

Good afternoon, I have a 2024 Ford F-250 Lariat Tremor 7.3 gas pickup truck. I am looking to add 2 inch wheel spacers but have come across the issue that the front vs the rear wheels / drum are slightly different. Does anyone know which spacers would fit through the rear drums without catching onto the "ridge line" or should I simply take these spacers to a machine shop and have them shave off a millimeter or two?
See pics.

Nice pickup and welcome to the forum. You're likely to get lots of "don't do that" on here.

Why would you ever need 2 inch spacers?

It's not all subjective with wheel spacers. Depends on your risk tolerance.

I say have at it if you understand the risks

I was told exactly this by my local tire/wheel shop. They would not even consider touching spacers. Too great of a liability for them. Plus they said the truck would never drive the same.

Would you articulate why spacers are your choosing ? Just curious, thank you .

Good afternoon, I added the fender flares on each side giving it a "beefy...er"/muscle look and feel, the wheels needed to also come out 2 inches for the full effect otherwise it doesn't quite look right...just my preference.

The 2 inch wheel spacers will not affect my particular 2024 Tremor Ford F-250 as the turning radius will remain the same without touching the fenders. Driving should remain....

I just found out my specific model has a Sterling 11.6 differential consisting of a 16 bolt pattern on the rear vs the 14 bolt patter in the front....I guess Ford made some changes on the models.

Thank you, your truck, your preference! Two inch wheel spacers used as a correction for to make it look right in your opinion is akin to back in the day when people did body lifts for basically the same reason! This may have been a fix for you because of money, or lack of it. I think you know the correct way to achieve the goal you were seeking!

Wider wheel and tire.

I recently seen a Superduty with stock wheels and tires running spacers and it look awful in my opinion. My advice. Buy some wheels and tires and avoid potential nightmare when you least expect it.

On my last truck (Ram 1500 Rebel) I ran BORA hub centric spacers for 4yrs and 75k miles (still on truck when traded in). Never had an issue.

I’m not saying I would do the same again on my Tremor but when I did research back then takeaway was if you do a spacer hub centric was only way to go. Now my Rebel was 98% on road. So make sure to do proper research and understand your intent for your truck and the limits of spacers. Also for Rams there was a lot of input on only go up to this size or risk messing up your hub bearing frequently per people who had been through it.

Proper wheels are almost always preferable but if you like your wheels and understand what your risk v benefits are then maybe start with BORA unless your research leads to a better option for super duty’s.

Thank you for the input, I found a machine shop with a lathe machine. They shaved off the 1 millimeter ridge line preventing the spacer from sliding through and properly sitting snug all the way back thru the hub.....They now fit perfectly, truck runs smoothly, looks and feels great.

That really looks good!
