Thanks for the replay--byronlj
Ya,I agree with the ride. Mine do seem to open up after I drive on them. The gap opens up to about 1/4". But I am at 80psi.
I too looked at spacers too. I was looking at Fred's??? spacers. Don't remember the company, but he does spacers. At 1st it does not seem like a bad idea. A 1/4 inch spacer is not a lot. But then when you start thinking about all the different stresses, I think I would be better with the tires 1/16 inch apart. A blow out versus a sheared wheel(To all those reading this--NO I do not have anything to back up the sheared wheel comment)
It strange that Chevy used rims with such a close offset. Most of the Dodges and Fords seem to have about 1" when loaded. Chevy has a great motor and trany, but sometime they miss on other issues. ie Mirrors, etc.
Again thanks for you comments and feedback. I do appreciate it.
