Wheel spacer question
I have a 2002 chevy blazer ls rwd. Im looking into a wheel spacer kit to add a little wider stance. Im thinking 60mm? Anybody have an experience with these? I cant seem to find any pictures that show the difference they make. Also, what are the pros and cons of wheel spacers? Thanks in advance!

Depending on your area they may actually be illegal. If installed incorrectly they can be dangerous. If you decide to go that route besure to check them often!

They arent illegal to my knowledge. What makes them dangerous? I assume moving the wheels outward puts extra strain on the axle. I plan on using proper equipment....not the wrench thats with the spare tire lol
|
If not installed correctly the wheel could come off. Do some searching you will see plenty of opinions both for and against them. I am personally against them, the risk isn't worth "the look" IMO.

you need wheel adapters not spacers.
i use them from ebay..cost me 70.00 i think. two years never a day of trouble with them. i just torqued them properly with a little loctite. however, wheel/tire shops wont touch them. so i guess i will cross that road when i get there. this is where i bought mine. CHEVY S10 CORVETTE 5X43/4 WHEEL RIM SPACER ADAPTERS 1.75 | eBay you prob want a diff size. |
Looking for good wheel selection
I am looking for a set of 18" or so wheels for my 2000 2wd 4door... Anybody know who has a good selection? My local tire store has a really bad selection.
Would getting a different off set help instead of spacers |
im running 11/2" spacers in the rear to even out the look, i offroad
a lot with out any problems, i did do the BLUE loctite on the studs and all is good |
I have 2 inch wheel spacers on mine, non hubcentric or lug centric just flat machined ones, only torqued them on and have had no trouble whatsoever. Took of my wheels about 500 km after and checked the torque nothing loose.

does your blazer have drums in the back? and if not do you know if i need a different type of spacer since i have drums? i have a 4x4 4dr 97 blazer
