Small occasional tire rub one side. Looking at 1" spacer to replace current 1/4" spacer. Anyone used these?
I had 1" spacers on the rear of my Austin g***er with numerous trips down the strip and no problems ever. Only took them off when I went to narrower pie crust slicks. Still have 1" on my '39 Chev coupe at the rear to get my slicks out to where I want them, and they also work great.
Agree with above, try to get hubcentric to the brake and the wheel if you can. the ones you pictured look good to the brake but rely on the studs to locate the wheel.
I know some people will cringe when they hear the word "billet" but you don't want cast wheel adapters, no matter how "lucky" people say they have been while using them.
My self I have used the billet ones Shown for few years ,No issue's , On one of my Race Rod's , It's Best / Ideal to have correct register or make ring register. So may manufactures now I would question , Would want to know grade of the Aluminum , & Stud's . In back of my head always thinking , It was just one of those things I pulled spacer's added longer studs From ARP Switched spacer's . I have seen in person broken & pulled out stud's , But on Very Over sized 4x4 ' In my opinion I would've never tried to DD & Hwy use
Hub centric only work if the adapter fits snug to the hub, and usually that only happens with modern vehicles that also use hub centric wheels. The type that use the studs have conical recessed holes, so they center very well and never had an issue as long as wheels bolted to them are also conical, and nut shank type wheels and lugnuts.
If you have to run spacer US wheel adapters in Lubbock make machined from big round blocks aluminum spacers or adapters and will make them to order within their stated limitations. https://www.uswheeladapters.com/?srsltid=AfmBOooZAGKmSf4mMvdrQt4LzAXEbgQmcPIONBQQ9u-CoEgakuqt9GCv American made out of solid billet aluminum
