studs too short for 1.25" spacers..?

[the great him]

you do not need hub centric! it is not a must! and anyone who tells you you have to have hub centric is a liar and full of sh1t.

dont run those "lose" spacers. they are not worth the risk and are not DOT approved. they will give you even less thread bite than then spacers will. why is it you think you need spacers any ways? im running a 285 tire on the tundra rim (closer off-set) and i dont rub... if you have the bolt on spacers and need spacers, run them untill you can buy new 1" spacers. then sell your 1.25" spacers. i know guys are always wanting them for the older solid axle trucks. heck id probably even buy them.

thanks the kid, i just read so much about vibration when running stud centric. Right now the washer style are my only option to get me to work. i get about 6 full revolutions of thread with the lug nuts right now and havent noticed them loosen. It is only temporary. I have 285's and very slight positive camber and i rub against my UCA significantly without spacers. maybe because i am running 16x7 rims so there is more tire bulge? Im going to get in a nice old fashioned piss up with the manager at NSOR saturday and see if they will swap these for the spidertrax hub centric and ill pay the difference. I found these e/t nuts from all pro but am i hoping a local store will have something similar because i cant afford any more time waiting for parts

Okay do you guys have an opinion as to which nut best matches the one from all pro.. i can get these gorilla ones ordered quickly and locally, thanks!

Here is a photo of the right one at the bottom of the post

And here is the gorilla nut, it would be the nut furthest right and second one down

yes those should work.

Can anyone confirm that 1" adapters will work without the studs or lugnuts protruding past the spacer? Anyone know what the smallest bolt on adapter you can run is?

yes 1" will work, i have 1" spidertrax and there is no protrusion. I dont believe you can go below 1" unless you go custom. I would get the 1's and call it a day, they will work.

thanks for the info. i wasnt aware spidertrax sells 1" spacers. i am going to have some made and i want the least amount of thickness i can run.

So I totally screwed up there. Spiderttax only makes 1.25. I had 1 trail gear I never put them on but was told they fit ...
