Can't find what size spacer I need to INVEST in (they ain't cheap are they?) to run H2' s w/ H2 centers. Please help. I currently have 1/4 inchers in the back.

I am also having a sign shop make some vinyl overlays that say duramax that will cover up the Hummer imprint. If I run my GMC centers I will have circle a Duramax overlay for them. Will post pics soon.

I've heard 1.5"-2"
Can't wait to see the overlay.

I like it. Where did you get them & how many $'s am I lookin' at?

The spacers are not necessary are they? Only if you want to widen your rear track to match the front correct?

They are necessary to run the Hummer centercaps but not the Chevy/GMC caps.

i dont know exactly where you can get them or a price. it was part of the deal when i got my wheels but i am very happy with them. i cant stand seeing some of these trucks with the front wheels sticking out and the back one tucked all the way under the truck. looks like crap IMHO

How much of the lug did you have to cut off? Just the tips that doesn't have threads or did you have to cut some of the threaded part off?

about 1/4" you could have the spacers drilled 1/4" to where the lugs would recess into them when you buy them.

with 2" spacers your rear track will be wider than the front and you will be back in the same boat you were in before.

Yea, but no cutting of the wheel studs with a 2" spacer.

cutting 1/4" off of the studs will have no effect. there is still thread past the lugs.
