wheel spacers

(1/1)

wideopen231:
 I just got new axles and as figured after checking wheels(4.5"bs) and tires I also just got I need 1.5" more axle. I can get new wheels but will take while and finding same kind of deal on 15x14 4.75bc and getting 3 or 3.5"BS is going to be hard find.

 Unforunately the axles where made to fit and I get to keep them. Nice too 40 spline drilled and lightened.man they are lite for size.

 I would need 3/4" spacer per side.I have run 1/2" spacers and was not crazy about that.In know only 1/4" but man 3/4" seems like a lot IMO. 

Wonder if any of you fellas are running anything close and if so with what kind of et you are running.Figure(hoping) to get in 4.60 to 4.70 1/8 mile range.

I run a 1" spacer, but in order to do so it must be pressed on over the the unthreaded (shank) portion of the stud. any sloppyness allows the wheel to rotate when the stud flexes.
I also have a pair of weld wheels and tires for sale   15x14  3.5bs and real good Goodyears   33x 15x14   d7  buy them to get you going and sell them when you are done and get some money back

wideopen231:

dreracecar:
no less than 1"
