Which is better?

 

Hub centric for sure. This will place the load from extra leverage and weight on the hub instead of the lugs.

 

Just remember anything hub centric make sure you use never seize on the rim of the hub

 

So for the 285 70 17 duratracs that i currently have, would the 1.75" spidertrax hub wheel spacer be fine?

 

I'm no expert but my dealership suggested 1.5 to 1.75 for 275/70R18

 

You'll definitely want hub centric wheel spacers and you want to make sure you check the torque on the spacers with every oil change. 1.5" should be enough to keep you from rubbing. I really like the Rough Country Wheel Spacers. I personally feel that they are every bit as good or better than the other spacers out there and you don't have to pay for the name like you do with some other ones. Check their website and do some reading on the quality of the Aluminum they use and I think you'll be happy. Let me know if you have any questions or if you'd like a quote.

Interesting Ryan! I went to XT web site and saw the RedRock and RC at 59.99$/pair. You would suggest the RC over the RedRock? And where are these made?

 

With that said, I've been running a set of RC spacers almost three years with no issues at all

 

Hey XT...that pic in the link doesn't look like a hubcentric spacer...is that just the wrong image??

 

neither, go with Spidertrax and never have to worry.
