regardless of brand, look for 6061 billet and grade 8 hardware.

You want the ones with two sets of lugs. Not the thin ones that sandwich between.


Here is some light reading:

Indeed... I recommend Spidertrax or Terraflex spacers. Avoid the sub-standard Chinese spacers like the plague. They are not ASTM spec 6061T6 and they don't use Grade 8 hardware.

Won't be a lot of work for me haha... I am going with whatever works for stock Rubi wheels on a TF 2.5 coil and 35" KM2's.
