I still have a set of those in the garage. Ran some Ford rims (5 lug) on my 03 Silvy EC and it wobbled like a ****, everything was balanced / aligned etc... Never could get it straightened out so I took em off. Wish I had of just bought some custom rims first. At the time my brother gave me the Ford rims so it seemed like a good idea.

yeah, that was it lol

thats ridiculous.... i dont believe that it would be wise to run those. ive seen alot of spacers fail and cause wheels to detatch at speed..... not only that but i wouldnt put a heavy truck and extend the wheels out like that.

my buddy just had spacers on his s10 to run the wheels some shop sold him, when he order one offset and they gave him another, since they wouldnt take them back he put spacers on it and well lets just say his s10 was totalled last weekend on the highway due to the wheel falling off, because of the spacer
