widen my front end.

***piersonslawnservice*** · 11-28-2008, 11:59 AM

Ive been looking around for some front wheel spacers for my dually. I dont want to add- I want to replace my existing front spacer with a longer spacer. I cant find anything anywhere. I would like to go about 2in wider if possible. the tires are tucked in the fender so much...besides the f450 stance is what Im trying to achieve. I understand they have a wider front axle...but I was hoping to extend the front wheel spacer... anyone have any ideas? or point me in the right direction...

he doesnt want that kind of spacer, a dually axle has a bolted on offset for the rim to keep it from rubbing with how it is shaped for a dually. he wants a longer offset part of the axle.

I bought 4 1.5" billet wheel spacers with the nuts for my truck which I never ended up using because I am going to put wider wheels on. I paid $320US for them but won't want that much since they are just sitting in my shelf. PM me if your interested. I have been meaning to put them in the classifieds.

You may end up with tires rubbing the front bottom of the fenderwell when turning, due to tires kicked out further.

Find a good machine shop and let them make you a set.Are you planning on leaving the rear alone?

yes I was planning on leaving the rear. No machine shops local around my area. I would like to have some made... really dont want to add a spacer to what I have. but if I cant find anything else...I might have to. Im sure its not much different than going with a 10 lug conversion. Since that is like a small spacer...With my fender flares on the front it looks like the wheel sits so far under the truck. Anyone know where I could get some made?

There is a machine shop next to my dads shop. He says he can absolutely make anything out of steel or aluminum. IMO i would just slap a 1.5" spacer on there or get different rims with less back spacing! I highly doubt your gonna find what your looking for without getting it made and that is gonna cost BIG BUX
