Spacer Question...

[Ryan Carroll]

Guys without getting in to a long drawn out convo regarding the pro's and con's of adding spacers. I was hoping just to see if anyone had pics of a 100 with 285/65/18's with the slee or spidertrax spacers on them. I am trying to achieve a more aggressive look and wanting the tire to break the plane of the wheel well. Any pics or info would be appreciated.

Well, I have 285/75 r16 duratracs with the spidertrax spacers. I think the smaller wheel size adds to the visual effect of more "TIRE". I use the 16's for more sidewall when off road.

That set up would be pretty close to flush and not breaking the plane. With the S/T you are losing approximately 30mm in offset from the stock 60mm. Take a string and tape it to the fender above the hub or axle and put a nut or something on the end for weight. Measure out from the tire 1.25 inches and that is where you will end up. If you have 275's now add another .5 inch or so.

This is a picture of +20 offset with a 275/70/18. Should be close to the same look.

Not the best angles but I would call the fitment flush. If you are looking to poke out further you will need to run an aftermarket wheel in the offset +25 or lower to get that look. On stock height under full compression with more aggressive than you suggested you will likely have issues.

Awesome, thanks for help. I am going to purchase them soon and wanted a visual reference.

And what spacer are you using?

Yes!

I am not running a spacer. I have a +20 offset wheel. With the setup you are considering the look will be very close(within a .5 inch)
