Hi, very curious if 1.5” wheel spacers would be wide enough to make my tires stick out a decent amount on my truck listed above King cab.

if so, I was wondering what the specific amount of torque I need to use on the lug nuts during installation my my specific truck.

Thanks.

Good morning.

Wheel spacers should never, ever be used at all. It adds unneeded stress to the wheel bearings and will cause suspension and steering issues.

CAUTION: When installing wheels and tires, tighten them diagonally by dividing the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels from developing any distortion.
