2 in 8x6.5 Wheel Spacers for Ram 2500/3500 and Silverado - Aggressive

Our review of these 2 in wheel spacers finds them best for owners who want a wider stance and stronger wheel hardware without changing wheels. The kit is a simple 2 PCS set of forged 6061-T6 aluminum spacers with a 126.15 mm center bore and 14x1.5 threaded studs, designed to fit many 8-lug GM and Ram trucks from model years listed. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of improved track width and high tensile Grade 12.9 studs, which provide clear structural strength benefits for serious towing and visual stance upgrades.

Key Features

• 2 in Thickness: Adds 50.8 mm of wheel offset to widen the track for a more aggressive stance and improved lateral stability.
• Forged 6061-T6 Aluminum: CNC machined and anodized for corrosion resistance and consistent fit under heavy use.
• 8x6.5 Bolt Pattern: Matches 8-lug wheels on supported C/K, Silverado, Sierra, Yukon XL and Ram models for direct compatibility.
• 126.15 mm Center Bore: Hub-centric fit helps keep the wheel aligned to the hub for better balance when installed correctly.
• Grade 12.9 Studs: 14x1.5 studs rated around 1000 MPa tensile strength for higher yield and improved clamping over lower-grade studs.
• Complete Hardware: Includes studs and nuts sized to fit common 8-lug applications so you get the parts needed for installation.

Who It's For

This spacer kit is for owners of 8-lug GM and Ram trucks who want a confident visual upgrade and improved wheel track for handling or clearance. It suits people who tow, haul or modify suspension and need stronger studs than stock to support heavier loads and aftermarket wheels.

It is not for owners of dual rear wheel (DRW) trucks or models outside the listed fitment years, and anyone uncomfortable with aftermarket wheel spacers or without access to proper installation and balancing should look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High tensile Grade 12.9 studs provide stronger clamping and improved safety margin versus 10.9 studs.
• Forged 6061-T6 construction and anodized finish resist corrosion and maintain appearance under use.
• Hub-centric 126.15 mm bore and CNC machining give precise fit for compatible hubs and wheels.

Cons

• Some users report mixed ride quality and wheel vibration if installation, wheel balancing, or fitment to specific model years is not perfect.
• Lug nut fit can vary by wheel and stud, so some owners will need different nuts or adapters to suit their wheels.

Our Verdict

The 2 in 8x6.5 wheel spacers are a solid value for owners who need a wider track and stronger studs for heavy use. When installed and balanced correctly on compatible 8-lug GM and Ram trucks, the forged construction and Grade 12.9 hardware deliver durability and a confident look, though careful fit checking and lug nut selection are important to avoid vibration issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these fit dual rear wheel (DRW) trucks?
They do not fit DRW models; the product notes several Ram and Silverado 3500 DRW years specifically as not compatible.

Are the studs stronger than stock?
Yes, the included Grade 12.9 studs have higher tensile and yield strength than common 10.9 studs, offering improved structural support.

What if I get vibration after installation?
Vibration is often caused by improper wheel centering, missing hub-centric rings, or unbalanced wheels; rechecking fitment, using proper hub-centric alignment and professional balancing usually resolves it.
