Are they hub centric, or lug centric? It makes a big difference. You want hub centric wheels, spacers and adapters. They are far safer.
They were hub centric I think??? I’m not sure now, I’ll post a picture.

Just out of curiosity...

Anyone know what thickness spacers it would take to give my 14ff the same track as my d60f?

These are the ones I had on my 2001 HD 2500. I assumed they were hub centric, but now that I look at them IDK about that? Some of you could probably say for sure.

They assured me that I can haul what the factory says this vehicle can tow with their spacers on.


I have run billet spacers that were vehicle specific on the rear of a 2001 Chevy 2500.

I found the link to them. I should have said bolt “pattern specific”, also they are T-6 Aluminum, I thought they were billet.... sorry guys, I was thinking that they were vehicle specific. My memory serves me wrong.

I think I will try to use this company again if I do any on the Sierra.

Did you have to tap them in with a soft hammer? They should have a snug fit on the hub to be hub centric. I have similar ones on my K30 to adapt duall wheels. They are forged steel and have a 1/4 in flange on the outer face that fits inside the wheels making them hub centric.

79dentside - those were hub centric on the axle side but not on the wheel side.
The set that 84 M1008 posted appear to be hub centric on both sides.

I don’t think I had to pound them on. How much did yours run, price wise?

When I contemplated spacers for mine to equal out the rears I put down a board along the outside of the tires longways the same way the vehicle was facing. Bitten them up to tires. Then measure inside the board on one side to the other. Repeat this for the rear. Take the difference you get and divide it by two and that's the spacer you need.

don't like spacer but in my case don't have the choice to have one! the most important is to have a hub centric one for tight installation! :)

Why do you have to have one?

How do you tell the difference visually between hub and lug centric. Im looking at getting spacers for my rig. I rub the drag link when making a tight right turn.

I am not sure you can tell without them on the hub/studs. That center portion needs to be a machine fit to the shoulder on your axle or rotor

I got BORA's (hubcentric) on mine. Front an back. They will custom make whatever you want. Just call. Worth the extra bucks for the piece of mind. Made in USA. Havent had any issues. I believe I have 2" on the back and 3/4" on the front.
