ramifications of adding a spacer to dual wheels
Hi, I will have to add a spacer of 0.55 of an inch to boost the distance between my rear rims in order to move to 235/R85/16 tires. What might be the concerns of doing so?

If your Class C is built on the Ford E450 chassis, the wheel rims are supported and centered by the axle hub, not by the lug bolts or nuts. In the picture below, it can be seen that the rim is a tight fit on the hub and that the lug bolt holes are oversized. Adding a 1/2" spacer between the wheels would move the outer dual beyond the machined area on the hub so that it is no longer properly centered.
