The wheel spacer calculator will not give you a value less than .75" or 3/4".

If you are given this recommended size spacer you must confirm that your wheels are compatible with this size spacer. Your wheels must have pockets on the back side to accommodate the factory lugs protruding past the spacer.

If you are unsure if your wheels are compatible please send photos of the back side of your wheel to info@DRT-Fabrication.com

Spacer sizes are calculated to the next closest 1/4" that will allow your tire to clear the shock. Some sizes will be custom order. Bora wheel spacers are our go to for wheel spacers with custom sizing available. Spidertrax is another option but with limited sizing available.
