wheel spacers

[nascar_fan28]

im thinking about getting some 1/2 inch slip on spacers . will these be a good idea with my stock hub centric wheels? thanks

Spacers are tough on wheel bearings and ball joints. Although at 1/2" you should be ok. Just curious, why do you want spacers? New wheels or just want a wider stance?

fender flares to cover the hugh hole in my fender caused by rust ha...its only 05 and i could literally push my finger through the sheet metal. i like tires to stick out or be flush to the flare

Depending on when you bought it, you could have the 5 year corrosion warranty remaining, just a thought...

nope.. that sh@# dont hold water... tried 4 different dealers.. pictures were taking by dealers and denied... if i ever do get rid of it, its my last superduty.. but its paid off 0 probs with truck other then rust everywhere... bottom of tail gate bottom of doors driver side rear fender has a hole. other side has bubbles...

good thing i can do my own paint. cost of flares and paint material 400 all together, so i was a cheap fix for this rust issue

these flares were 330 shipped from 4wheel parts. easy to paint too, no prep hardly just scuffed with grey pad, no mold release agents

That's crazy . I have had a bunch of SD's , most in the early 2000's and I live in salty Ohio . Never had any rust issues . Sucks , it's a beautiful truck . I spray my wheel wells out with every wash and get them oil sprayed every fall . Either way the flares at least hide it for now .
