2020 Tremor 7.3 Gas - wheel spacers

[TremorJosh]

Anyone have a good solution for a 2020 F250 7.3 Gas Tremor wheel spacer. I want 2 - 2 1/2 inch. I ordered a rough country hub centric but I’m the rear hub was still hitting the lip on the spacer and didn’t fit. Help!

2-2.5” wheel spacers on an 8000 lb truck meant to tow and offroad does not sound safe to me. Why not buy a wider tire and a wheel with a negative offset if you want them to stick out further than stock?

I’m with Tremor 6.7 on this. We don’t even run spacers on jeeps anymore, get a better offset wheel.

We should really all consider to turn our Tremors into brodozers.

What is the difference? How are spacers bad

How harmful is it to run wheel spacers on a Jeep?

Answer (1 of 10): It may not necessarily be harmful but it will put suspension, axles, bearings, etc, under much greater stress. With spacers you are basically creating a leaver. the further out you put the wheels the more the weight of the vehicle is acting on ball joints and other critical area...

Wheel spacers...add to wobble?

I have 35 x 12.5s on the factory wheels.....chasing my steering a bit....any thoughts on whether i am using 1.5 wheel spacers is contributing to the flighty steering? Already have the falcon steering stabilizer

Bottom line: They are not “bad” per se, but the consequences aren’t worth the benefit when compared to a proper wheel+offset setup. Some very real concerns: Increased wear & tear on suspension components that voids your warranty in the worst case (but not EVERY case).

They tear up wheel bearings, and destroy hubs

Ok. Then wouldn't offset wheels do the same? You're putting the weight further out either way. What an I missing?

I think the effect is far less pronounced but theoretically still present. That is because the weight distribution lies mostly on the tire/wheel and less on the bearing/hub length.

Most problems lie with individuals not doing their due diligence. Wheels and tires, much less risk and headache. Wheel spacers, if something is slightly off there's a likely chance of damage. Wheel spacers can work and well, just dont half ass it. Otherwise save yourself some peace of mind and save for wider wheels or wheels with greater offset or both. Good luck.

It isn't that I couldn't afford the new wheels with a different offset. It's the fact that I bought a tremor so I wouldn't have to buy new wheels and tires. I was hoping to put 1"- 1 1/2" spacers on. Good quality ones in fact. I just want the tires even with the wheel well lip.

ive lost wheels on both car and truck they are a lot of maintenance have to constantly torque them going from metal to aluminum to aluminum and with heat you have to run them and recheck and re-torque not that they won’t work but there’s a chance you can lose a wheel

Your best solution is to return them. Such a hard pass on wheel spacers for all the reasons listed above. Discount Tire won’t touch a car or truck with spacers...liability out the arse. I agree.
