Wheel Adapter Thickness?

Getting ready to order some wheel adapters on eBay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-2-0-Wheel-...=mtr#vi-ilComp

2 inches is what most folks are running right?

Thanks,
HUSSEY

Re: Wheel Adapter Thickness?

I am running 2" on mine, but it will ultimately depend on the width and offset or backspacing of the wheel you are using.

I guess I should have clarified that it's an AD on an S10 chassis.

Re: Wheel Adapter Thickness?

Still depends what offsets and tire size your using. I have a S10 axle on my AD chassis and im using two 1/2" spacers per side. My tire size is 235/50/r15 and my wheel is 7" wide with a 3 3/4 backspace. This setup gave me a perfect wheel tuck in the rear fenders.

I've got a 51 AD on an S 10. I'm using 2" spacers front and rear. I've got the 4WD rear axle. 8" rims with 4" back space and 245/60/15 tires.
