Has anyone tried installing a 3/8" or 1/2" wheel adapter like this? And if so are the stock wheel studs long enough for the "7 full turns" on the wheel lug nut for either thickness? Thanks!

Question, do you have a 4x4 or not. I have heard that spacers are not recommended for 4x4’s.

I have a 2025 FX4 on order. I haven’t come across anything re 4x4 issues, but realistically I think I’ll hold off on this until I can get and afford a lift with new wheels and tires.

10/4, that’s the ways to go. Awesome!

From what I’ve always heard in all my years are there are pro’s and con’s with using wheel spacers/adapters. Opinions vary. If you choose to, use a high quality brand such as spidertrax. This is not an application to be cheap and go with the lowest quality/price point available imo

2024 Ford Ranger Lariat, 4x4 FX4.
There is not enough stud length for even a 1/4" spacer. I tried it. There is enough room inside the fender to fit a 1 inch wider wheel without changing the offset.
