Wheel Spacers and Alignment

[user 66225]

Was wondering if an alignment is necessary when installing 1.25" spacers on the rear wheels only.

Nope. You'll be fine.

So then, what would be a cause of some edge wear on the tires? Or is it just gonna happen after a while.



Was advised on the wear, and was told to maybe get an alignment. Just trying to rule out the spacers.

You might need alignment but it's not because of the spacers. I had spacers for at least 6 months and I don't have wear problems on the tires.

I agree with SFCEd

Thanks for the help

I have 1.25's on front and rear for 30K miles. No wear problems at all. No alignment necessary

Well, unless you have IRS on a 07+, you shouldn't need an alignment on the rear lol:lol:

i have been running spacers for years now, no wear issue

You have edge wear on the rear tires?? How often do you rotate the tires?

 

[user 66225]

With every oil change (about 3K-4K miles)

Check your rear axle seals and bearings they might be wearing out and the added length of the spacers could be making it cause the tire wear like you describe.
