I will say it again - I have ordered steel spacers and will not use aluminum spacers regardless of where they come from.

Skinny - The outfit in Texas who is producing my steel spacers said to NOT use Loctite on the spacer bolts so they can be re-torqued correctly without the Loctite influence on the effort required to reach the 140 foot pounds of torque. I think I understand this, still thinking about it. I...

Bunkerbuilder - Thanks for your comments. If I were planning to run my rig in a Baja race or planned to do serious rock crawling, then yes, I would have a slight concern about the leverage factor. However my truck has never been off-roaded and I don't intend to ever get it muddy. The key word...

Reply to richingalveston - Thanks for your comments. I plan to keep my 11.00/20's because they will easily get me through highway snow 16-18" deep. However for off-road use, the 44" tall tires cannot articulate enough under the fenders in rough terrain, especially when crossing a deep ditch...

Skinny - The spacer should, in theory, position the wheel and balancer 2" farther away from the brake caliper, right? I can't see mounting the balancer between the hub and spacer, as this would provide a pocket for mud and debris to accumulate with no way to clean out. My plan is to...

Skinny - you and I have no problem. I just didn't appreciate the fellow from Alabama busting in like he did. I was just about to order a set of the Centromatics. If you want to sell yours, PM me. Thanks.

Respectfully, in response to the gentleman from Alabama - I intend to run the HMMWV wheels because I want the beadlock capability so I can lower the tire pressure for better traction in snow or mud without danger of the tire breaking loose from the rim. I am assuming you know how these wheels...

What is the thread of the lugnuts? Is this information listed anywhere in the TM? I believe they are 9/16" x 18. If anybody can confirm this I will greatly appreciate it.

OK, I have found my steel spacers from an outfit in Texas. He said they come with 14 x 1.5 studs and locknuts for my M1028. Does this sound correct?

Thanks everyone for your comments. I will purchase steel spacers. Now to find the best source............

I am putting together a set of 12-bolt HMMWV wheels to run on my M1028 during the summer months. I understand that I need to run 2" spacers on the front to compensate for the wheel's offset, and I also intend to run the spacers on the rear for proper tire tracking and looks. The spacers are...
