Offset question with fabtech lift...
So I decided I want a fabtech 6" lift...I'm concerned that my rims will not work with the lift. I have 20" x 9.5 ballistic jester black wheels with -12 offset and nitto mud grappler tires 37x 13.50 20...will my rims work with a fabtech 6" lift...
here is the fabtech lift I'm looking at on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/2003-2005-Hu...deab87&vxp=mtr

I'm not sure what the kit requires the wheel offset to be,but If you get screwed and can't use your wheels you can have adapters built to space them out a bit and still be hubcentric. So not a total loss either way. Just dont go taking your h2 to the monster truck rally and jumping buses with it and you will be fine.

you need -24mm for fabtech. I'd contact westkycustoms. Those guys been selling wheels on ebay for years. They probably have the same wheel in the -24mm offset. Its an extra half inch you really need.
My **** is tight, no way I'd take a half inch of clearance off what I have.
Call or email them, catch it before they ship.

****, you just bought them yesterday off ebay. Those pictures on their auctions have been the same pics for years. Its a regular shop, I doubt they were even open past noon and I bet they're not even mounted yet. Just call them up, shoot them an email and ask if you can get those rims in a different offset. I'm sure they can accomidate you on this. Shouldn't cost you anything.
If not you need 1/2" spacers. I hate spacers simply because your adding 4 extra points of potential issues, and instead of 32 lugnuts to worry about- you will have 64.

so spacers it is I guess...should I do 1/2 inch or go bigger?

Bflorin is worried about the extra shear points you add to the studs when you use spacers. the first two that you see on that ebay link with the studs included are actually adapters and you wont have the extra shear points that you should be worried about. It is alot of hardware and weight to add but it will work and it wont be a safety/strength issue.
If you can get the right ones great, if not then use the adapters. I don't think they make them in sizes as small as a 1/2 inch though. They have to be thick enough to accomodate the O.E. stud.
