Has anyone installed rear wheel spacers?

cssnms · 05-08-2023, 01:03 PM

Have a Rhox 6" lift which pushes the front wheels out. Have 23x10x14 tires. I'd like to square up the stance a bit and I've also read widening the rear stance can help with stability.

My front wheels are out plenty for my liking, so I just want to push the rears out. Has anyone installed just rear spacers in this situation and if so did you go 1", 1.5" or 2?

Many times, all sizes. I'd shy away from anything over 2". Having the wheel further out will add more stress to the axles. And sling more mud onto the driver.

Agree. I only want to go out as far as it's almost square, which i don't think will require anything more than 2".

IIRC I believe I installed 1" spacers so the fatter rear tires would clear the leaf springs

What cart???? My G29 does not have Leaf Springs. I would not put wheel spacers on my G29 - the tires are already sticking out slightly.

2" wheel spacers ordered for the rear wheels.

Torque them down and recheck a week later.
