Chevy Trailblazer Wheelspacers

i show you how i installed my 1.25" wheel spacers

[@donttalktomeamheartotrain1545]

Am getting 1.5 inch wheel spacers on mine hopefully before this month.. going to try and do it myself and save some money. thanks for the video brother. it's really helpful

[@RydogsGarage]

the chosen one with 1.5" you shouldn't have to cut anytbing at all they will bolt right on.

[@chrisgayden7837]

Put the factory lugs back on the factory wheel and aftermarket lus on the spacers because theyou are made with the brim for the seating in the spacer

[@chrismcdonald4748]

Mine have the hub centric and lots of stud to bite down. Think they were about 300. Shipped from Florida to east cost Canada. And with full size 265 tire. She is an 07. Have it till I die lol great video

[@Psyclone129]

I put some spacers on my trailblazer 1.5 non hubcentric now I got a pretty bad vibration I'm considering getting the hubcentric

[@theghostleader140]

Nice vid i came across looking for ideas for my trailblazer but i have a question. The center bore on my truck is 77.80 cm which is stock so i bought aftermarket rims with stock CB of 77.80 cm however upon looking for spacers online the only spacers i found from various brands are the ones with 78.1 cm and hub centric which confusing any ideas if they would fit my rims? I'm opting for hub centric spacers instead of non hub centric.

[@1ohmwrecker]

So if I get the 1.5 inch spacers, I won't have to cut my studs down, correct? And I'm better off spending the extra for the hubcentric ones, huh?

[@RydogsGarage]

Scott Wright correct. 1.5” will bolt right on. and yes 100% get hubcentric. Bora offroad make great ones and good price. you will thank yourself later. this video is way old. and i have learned a lot sense then and i wouldn’t do things the same way as i did in this video. but 1.5” and hubcentric will bolt on and you will be happy

[@RydogsGarage]

Scott Wright then just make sure to tourqe lug nuts to factory specs.. and use the supplied lug nuts that came with the spacers too bolt them to the car and the oem lugs to hold wheel to spacer.

[@1ohmwrecker]

@@RydogsGarage yeah, honestly I woulda done that anyways lol. But thanks for ur reply and posting this!

[@1ohmwrecker]

@@RydogsGarage well I just bought some 2 inch spacers. Someone else posted a video w em on and looks pretty good so that's what I just ordered. I didn't get bora tho. I got ones from a brand called Titan? Seem legit. And was $145 after taxes n all. So we'll see how this all goes. Thanks for ur help dude!

[@userzukie]

OK the wheel spacers are to make the wheels look wider not to change the bolt pattern to use after market wheels?

[@RydogsGarage]

Richard Costra the ones i have are only to make wheels look wider. you can purchance ones that adapt to a different bolt pattern

[@userzukie]

Thank you for the quick reply. It's my wife's car and she needs new tires. I thought this might be a good time for new wheels but everyone tells me I have to go with custom ones $$$$.

[@RydogsGarage]

Richard Costra verry few aftermarket wheels come with our bolt pattern yes so it's easier to get adaptors to a 6x5.5 bolt pattern (ours is 6x5) the 6x5.5 comes on all the chevy 1500 trucks so the wheel selection is huge!

[@w8what575]

Damn! I like the front end on the 09s! I have the 05 with the split headlights..and yeah..I’ve bent 4 rims since I bought my 05 and damn! It’s a pain tryIng to find a replacement...I’ve been thinking about doing spacers especially if it makes the wheels flush with the fender flares...I like the look

[@RydogsGarage]

best bet would to get adaptors to go from the 6x5” to 6x5.5 so you can get any chevy 1500 truck wheel

[@Bajaheat]

Will 265/70/17 fit with spacers?

[@RydogsGarage]

Bajaheat i’d image you could get it to fit. may need 3” front lift 2” rear. and atleast 1.5” wheel spacers

[@michaelbauerle9182]

Wait till he does the brakes and tries to get those stock lugs back on the cut bolts.

[@RydogsGarage]

back when i still had the trailblazer i had no issues removing the lug nuts to service brakes and hubs. when you impact the lug off it will fix the treads at the end. i did end up using a thread file to clean it up though. these videos are old and i wish i could go back and edit them with correct info without removing but that’s what time and learning does.

[@dcanty69]

I have an 04 trailblazer and wanna put 2 inch spacers on. What size would I need. My 22 inch rims hit the upper control arm

[@davlet53209]

You should've or them custom

[@omarguzmann]

what's the tire side?

[@RydogsGarage]

omar guzman right now i have 255/65/17 wish i went with a 245/70/17 or 255/70/17

[@MrMoneygreen27]

Why do you wish you had gone wider

[@callofgamer24]

@@MrMoneygreen27 The second set of numbers is the aspect ratio. 245/70R17 would be the same width as stock but with more sidewall which would make the tire taller.

[@johnmartinez6621]

the adapter diddnt fit on the truck but the adapter fits the 22 though

[@RydogsGarage]

john martinez they may have sent you wrong ones. the trailblazer has a 6x5 pattern. so you needed 6x5 to 6x5.5

[@RydogsGarage]

john martinez and depending on how thick the spacer is you have to trim the wheel studs like i did

[@Derryck_209]

This guy scares the hell out of me please DO NOT use non hub centric spacers way way too dangerous

[@therealjackieheezy]

cut the games bro they are no more dangerous than regular spacers

[@Hotsause19]

What size spacers do I need to put 6 lugs 22 inch rims on

[@emilianoortiz260]

much bla bla bla. are not action ba.

[@leftybronson8800]

Those things fall off ALL THE TIME and you actually filed it down and further comprise the structural integrity??!? Your brave bruh I'd take those off tho

[@johnanonymous7873]

The purpose for the new lug nuts with the spacer is to use those new lug nuts to bolt the spacer on and your factory lug nuts are supposed to Be used to wheel back on Also, you should not have to Grind the studs down at all because if you look at your wheel you will see there is an open space on your factory wheels where the wheel spacer lug nut stick up a little bit. Check it out. Next time. You have your tires off. Look at your rim, You will see how there is openings. On some aftermarket rims, they are flat and you might have to grind them down, but all GM rims nowadays. Are hollowed out in that area

[@kaylamcgrath5866]

the lug nuts included with the spacers are the ones to be used on the spacers and the factory lug nuts stay on the rim. also it is always a good idea to use a little bit of thread lock on the original studs so the spacers cant back off. also i would not recommend using the type of spacers used in this video because they are not hub-centric and that increases your chances of 1. vibration.2.wheels loosening up.3 studs braking especially when towing. otherwise good video

Hey I have a trailblazer too and want spacers can you send me the link to where you got them

[@scottnmeljames7871]

you don't need to lock the wheel you just need a 1/2 inch to 3/8 reducer adapter on run them on with the gun

[@RydogsGarage]

Scottnmel James i use a torque wrench on all my wheel lugs so i have to lock the wheel, i don’t trust just runing them in with the gun.

[@gaknskk]

I know this is an older video but I have a question... when you turn the front wheels all the way did it bring the tire closer to the fender well ? I want the 1.5 but dont want the front to rub when turning sharp. Thanks for any info you might have on this subject.

[@huntert6452]

gaknskk I have 2inch spacers and they are about an inch or so away

[@skankytrick]

@@huntert6452 My biggest concern is the tire hitting the edge of the fender when the suspension compresses. Any word on whether 1.5" spacers will be too wide that the suspension travel causes the tires to interfere with the fender? I'm already running 265/70/17 Duratrak tires that are pretty wide to begin with.

[@huntert6452]

John Smith I think you will be fine, even if you do have to trim it wouldn’t be much

[@huntert6452]

Unlike me I’m running a 3inch lift on 33s with 2inch spacer, I had to cut a lot in the inner fenders

[@danruffing5057]

Did you get wheel vibration or did any studs ever break after awhile? I can find non hub centric adapters for about 75 but hub centric are around 200 is why im asking

[@RydogsGarage]

@@danruffing5057 buy the hub centric. don't get the cheaper ones. i had vibration issues and bunch of other things before i took them off and sold that vehicle years ago. if i knew the importance of the hub centric back then like i do now i would have never bought thoes. Get the Bora ones and be done buy once cry once. don't have to worry about broken studs or vibrations

[@danruffing5057]

@@RydogsGarage thanks for the fast reply. Ive had a set of 22s for 2 years now that were for my gfs escalade but decided against it as she likes curbs to much lol. Only thing i can see is the center bore on the aftermarket rims is bigger than the adapters all are so i don't think a hub centric adapter will even make a difference since it wont sit on it center idk.🤷🏼‍♂️

[@hustlecoralvlogs7675]

WOAH !!! how bad did you cross thread those nuts back onto those studs after grinding them !!!! You should have left the nuts on grinded then taken them off to clean/make new threads !!!

[@RydogsGarage]

Josh SaltEmpire Duval didn't cross thread anything.... did not have to cut into any of the threading, the stock studs have a 1/4 of a inch of no thread and that's what has to be cut off. spacers and have been off and on multiple time now and no crossthreading has happened

[@hustlecoralvlogs7675]

Oh i know theres a tiny stub bit there I just wouldnt risk it lol I have an 05 LTZ

[@RydogsGarage]

Josh SaltEmpire Duval just have make clean cuts! and it's like butter.. no problems and a file always helps too make the edges rounded and smooth.

How long before wheel brg howl? Stance does look good. I got a 08 ls w/ 5.3 4x4. V8 got bigger wider rear axle anyway. Fronts like the silveradoes...

[@jbouchard4877]

Decent job. Not quite complete though and chance of failure is there. The best way to complete the installation of a wheel spacer is to re-torque and apply loctite while re-torquing. And how that is done is by removing the wheel and then removing one lugnut at a time on the spacer while applying loctite. Then torque it to specification. Repeat on all lugs. But most importantly. Only do on lug at a time.

[@harryballzak9391]

Please don't tell people to put their legs under the tire while torquing the wheel. I suggest anything but that... Jackstands or not

[@harryballzak9391]

Good info though

[@derekendres7176]

So do you get around the overhanging ball joints?

[@turareshy]

Which did you use 6x5 to 6x5.5??

[@ramiroochoa2009]

where is the pictures? that its 6 lug to 5 lug?

[@DavidJohnson-yv4yu]

Lug Nuts are tapered, therefore the wheel will center itself when the lugs are tightened properly

[@RydogsGarage]

David Johnson not in this case. when you have no hub centric ring. and you have weight on the wheel it will not center properly.

[@00THOMPSON00]

So you spoke about full size trucks having different bolt patterns and put stock rims back on, what was the point of pointing out the difference in bolt pattern?

[@RydogsGarage]

00THOMPSON00 back then it was budget. could have put a cheep set of wheels from a silverado on or a aftermarket wheel where i wouldn’t need wheel spacers. after my more years of experience i don’t run spacers on my new truck and never will. just back then and still now barely any aftermarket wheels are 6x5 like the triablazer has. so you have to run a adaptor spacer to a 6x5.5 to then get a huggeeee aftermarket wheels selection but still got to run a spacer. it’s just a bad situation in general.

[@00THOMPSON00]

@@RydogsGarage but those adapters were for your same bolt pattern how would you have ran a full size Chevy rim? I'm genuinely curious, I owned a envoy years ago and am thinking about getting ba tb now, and always wanted to change up the wheels thanks for your response

[@RydogsGarage]

00THOMPSON00 well they where for the same bolt pattern strictly so i could run the 32” tires i had gotten cheep from a buddy that fit on the stock TB wheels. and not rub. if i had the money at the time i would have just bought wheels too. cause you can run a adaptor to 6x5.5, that’s skinny and run a full size wheel. where i had to run 1.5” spacers on a stock wheels to make the tires not rub. and big spacers are bad for suspention components. running a adaptor to switch to the 5.5 bolt pattern is your best bet cause then you can have huge aftermarket option of wheels.

[@mountainmantv4713]

How have they held up

[@josesegura1083]

What size tires you have on??

[@s0n_0f_cali71]

Could you add hub centric rings to that wheel spacer?.?

[@RydogsGarage]

S0N_0f_ CALi no you can’t. because the surface is flat. nothing for the ring to grab onto. unles you got metal ones and welded them on. which at that point your better off getting the ones that are already have them in the casting

[@RC_Films_]

Hey! I am looking to get some wheel spacers soon and was wondering how yours have been holding up sense you last posted this video. I noticed they are not hub centric. Do they add vibration at high speeds? Do I need hub centric spacers, or can I get by with the non-hub-centric spacers? Any answers are appreciated! Thanks!

[@RydogsGarage]

RC Films i’ve put well over 40k miles on these spacers and they are fine. but forsure 100% get the hubcentric style spacers, ik they are more expensive. but it will save you so so so much headache when rotating tires. becuase i have to tourqe the wheels with the car off the ground to make sure the wheels are centered. i do deal with a bit of vibration above 80mph with my new 32.5” tires

[@RydogsGarage]

RC Films the Bora brand wheel spacers are what i will end up purchasing

[@RC_Films_]

The wheel measurements to keep my same stock rims would be 6x5 right?

[@RydogsGarage]

RC Films yep! i’m going to buying 6x5 to 6x5.5 when i get new wheels. so i can buy chevy 1500 truck wheels
