"To add to grego's post, I too was unsure about spacers/adapters. I would always hear negatives about them but I didn't like the way the stocksetup was tucked in there so I took the leap.

I am happy to say that after 4 years of running the spacers/adapters I have yet to have a problem with them. Like some people I do alot of hmmm... High Speed Driving I have also done some light off-roading and still not a problem (knock on wood)

I'm not saying that they are extremely reliable cause I have only had them for 4 years but all I know is that after these past 4 years the units do not have a single blemish. Just my 2c".

Island_Tundra,

Hey long time no hear (although I have seen your truck a few times rollin around the Island). I am in the same predicument as others may have, in that my wheels are designed as such that I cannot run wider tires without upper control-arm rub. I thought about wheel adapters (not spacers) and asked around for advise from the AK Tech and others in the automotive field.

The feedback I get is that the vehicle would obviously have to be realigned and rebalanced due to the adapter's nature to cause a wheel to lose balance (in several months time). Ball joint and bushing stress would also be greatly increased.

Can you give feedback on any possible alignment and balancing problems that you may have encountered? And what was done to correc it. I am planning on getting the 1.5" adapters (specs as you mentioned above) so I can run at least 285/50/20 tires.

Oh and drop me a line if you can. I'll PM you my cell number.

Thanks,
Ron
