Where do I find 1.75 wheel spacers for the Rancho lift

[Highatop]

I'm lookin for 1.75 wheel spacers for the Rancho lift. So I can use my OEM rims. I not sure what I'm lookin at online. Any help would be great

Motorsport-tech.com has some good ones. I know may people will argue hub-centric vs lug-centric....

You would just need wheel spacers for the GM 5 lug pattern, 1.75 is a pretty decent size wheel spacer. Just know that using wheel spacers can make it easier to break things/shear wheel studs, and the bigger the more risk. Make sure you get some hub centric to wheel centric spacers and the factory bore is 100.3.

I thought 1.75 that what was needed to clear everythin instead of new rims. Is this correct? Or can I or want to go smaller?

Oh whoops I missed the Rancho part, I think you're right about need 1.75 for that. I personally think the less the better with spacers but you need it with the rancho lift so can't really go any slimmer, motorsport tech or spidertrax is the only company I would use. Motorsport is $300 shipped for a set for the H3

Get motorsport and ask for hummer h3 they're great. The best quality you can find.

Done, Thanks all. I also ordered Outfitter Design, Steerin rack reinforcement kit. This will be done before the lift

Don't you just need 1.5" spacers to use ON rims and Rancho together?

I believe it's rancho requires 4.5" backspacing I think stock is 6.25.

I believe it's rancho requires 4.5" backspacing I think stock is 6.25.

Just used a calculator app. It says the a 7.5" rim with 38mm of offset = 5.75" backspace

So if running Rancho and OEM rims that means you need 1.25" spacers as a min.

I picked up 1.5" spacers of a forum member here to clear my new to me Hutchisons that have yet to go on and I just had a minor freak out thinking I messed up the calculations! (Hutchinson and OR are slightly different but close enough)

Please correct me if I am wrong

1.5 didnt work for me, I needed 1.75in spacers. Personally I think QUALITY wheel spacers are no worse then a low backspace aftermarket rim.

Also H3s are a 6 lug not 5 lug.

 

[Highatop]

Hope your wrong Ramrod, I'm goin w/ what I've been readin and advise here on the fourm. It seems to be alittle big in my thoughts too. But if that I what is needed. They are ordered from Motorsport-tech yesterday.

Well there you go, first hand experience trumps rough calculations

I think I will still be in the clear with my 1.5" spacers that I have for the hutchinson's. Looks like the spec's are quite a bit different:
Specifications: 16 x 7.5"
1.5" Offset
5.84" Backspace
6 on 5.5 Lug Pattern
3.938 Hub Bore

My rims just with the 4.5" backspacing had the tires rubbing against the UCA, just slightly though. So I through my spacers back on, I don't mind though. I like the added stance.
