    Default wheel.spacers for viper wheels

    Does anyone know what size spaces I will need for the 10 spoke viper wheels on my 03 clubcab . Nothing too big I don't want the tires sticking out past the fender flares..and where I can get them...any links..thank youu

    1.25 for the rear and 1.375 for the front. Get them from Fred and wheeladapter.com you want the wheel and hub centric spacers.

    Do you think I can.go with a 1 inch spacer how does the 1.25 look does the wheel stick out past the fender flares

    No you cannot run a 1" spacer on the rear you will run the springs. This is what it looks like it's not as bad as the picture makes it look. The rim is actually inside the flares but because the body is curve the tire sticks out alittle.

    FYI...I've got a pair of new spacers that I've been holding onto for awhile that I'll part with if you can't find them cheaper than I want for them which is 130 shipped. I'll need to verify the thickness though.

    I'm going to run less than a 1/2'' spacer in the front. You have 1/8'' to 1/4'' clearance without a spacer at all with stock control arms at full turn. I'd rather have a little extra room and bring the wheel out some though.

    Really? when I put mine on the front my wheels touch the control arms. Zero clearance at the moment.

    1.25 " adapters will keep it off the lower arm at full lock and get the tire out a little past the FF so it's not "tucked"

    Ya, some may think this is dumb and waste of money... But im getting custom control arms made to fit these wheels instead of using the adapters. Yep it's probably more money, but it will be what it takes for me to get the "look" im going for.

    The guy making my control arms is local and compared to the price of wheel adapters + raising the truck back up to fit the wheels - not much difference.

    I don't think that's dumb at all, I'd love to see this project updated with pictures. The biggest issue for me was not just the rubbing on the arm but the "look" of fronts tucked inside the wheel well I couldn't stand it ...lol

    Had I more $ I would have made a rear axle to fit them without adapters too and tubular arms to get the tire to fit out frt like your doing.

    I won't have any pictures until fall/winter when I dig into it. Spent too much time last summer dealing with work/supercharger and other bolt one that I am just driving it all summer and stock piling parts for winter. Hopefully winter will bring a zcode kit too!

    So you have 1.25" front and rear? Do you have any front on pics of how far they stick out?
