Guest 88vic #1 Posted July 2, 2019 I put a different set of rims on my suburban 550. The wheels look good but.....the spacing on the spindle is smaller, I had to use washers to take up the space. This looks awful to me, anyone have suggestions ? Thanks, Wheelhorsefan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adsm08 3,356 #2 Posted July 2, 2019 Put the washers on the inside where they can't be seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 67,093 #3 Posted July 2, 2019 How many washers are we talking? I built spacers for Putt Putt, they are on the inside as well. They are washers welded to a tube, then I faced them off in the lathe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pacer 3,177 #4 Posted July 2, 2019 Its pretty common to find rims that are slightly different and as mentioned put the spacers on the inside and you can hardly tell the difference. I use common 3/4" black pipe sawed to the correct length. I ran a set of rims/tires off an old Sears suburban with 3/4" spacers on one of mt D's for about 15yrs..... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 88vic #5 Posted July 2, 2019 Yeah theres 8 total thick washers on the inside, looks hideous. I may try the black pipe idea, I could probably live with that. Thanks guys ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 18,244 #9 Posted July 3, 2019 Nylon spacers don't look too bad. The white kinda looks like part of the rim. https://www.mcmaster.com/94639a893 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
