any word on the 8x6.5 wheel spacers?

Any possibility to make an adapter that would convert from 6 on 5.5 to 8 on 6.5?
If so, can you pm me a price? Only need them as thick as required to manufacture. Not looking for a specific width. Thanks.BTW, you guys make some really nice stuff. Keep it up.

I pmed them on 12/13 and this is the response i got

We're working hard on alot of new spacers and adaptors, it will still be just over a month though. Thanks - Jeff

So it should be soon :)

Id like to see an 8x6.5 to the new 8 on 170mm adapter.

I would just like to see a 5x5.5 to 8x6.5 adapter and an 8x6.5 1"-2" spacer.

They (intentionally ambiguous) have been running since Wednesday and we should be seeing the first versions come back from anodizing in 1.5 weeks. The only possible hold up will be the order of 5,000 wheel studs that are being made right now as well.

Jeff

are you referring to the spacers? or all these adapters people are talking about.

Spacers and adapters, but we haven't drilled the patterns yet. I was hoping to get some more insight as to what is most needed at this point.

Jeff

Well i can tell you that i need some 2" 8x6.5" spacers. Gotta space out my H1's. Need 4 of them, so as soon as you guys gettem ready, consider me sold on a set.

May need some 5x5.5" to 8x6.5" adapters for a possible Heep project...and DodgeBox and I would both probably be interested in some 1", 1.5" or 2" 8x6.5" spacers.

Our first 8x6.5 sets will be 1.75". Will that be enough?

Jeff

Jeff

Depends on Tie Rod end. I know with H1's on a D44 and your 3/4" ends I am very tight with a 2" spacer. Not sure what the clearance difference is for a TRE.

If you like I can drive my beast down to check clearance. I should be headed down soon to pick up some centers Allen is working on for me.

anything < 2" works for me :smokin:

I would buy a pair of 5x5.5 spacers

I'd prefer 2" on the 8 on 6.5 inch spacers as well. I have my H1's on a full size full bodied rig and need to space them out pretty good.

Yea guys, i think 2" would be alot better than 1.75". Mainly because most of us using 8 lug spacers are spacing out H1's for extra room. And i'll be running 7/8" hiems on step up arms so i need the full 2" i'm sure, maybe even more. I'm just trying this before i get my shiot recentered.

Id be interested in some 6lug to 8 lug spacers also just wide enough to make the boltpattern change.
Got a set of 39s on my heep im building that id like too bolt on my yota till i get my jeep done for now so i can at least play a lil and not tear up my 35s i dd with.
What do you think a set of 4 would run?

Jeff


How much will those be apiece?

Jeff

Well, 84thumper & I are in need of the same thing; 6 on 5.5 to 8 on 6.5 adapters. I would think the market for these would be there, what with all the mini-truck guys throwing 1-ton axles under their rigs in stages, as I am. Even if you could do an 8 to 6 lug adapter I'd think you'd find buyers. My father-in-law wants to throw a 14-bolt in his blazer, but with the 6-lug front D44, he'd have to convert the front as well or run mis-matched wheels. Let us know what you come up with, & definitely pm me w/a price for a pair. Thanks a billion.

Ya i was interested in them because i have a set of 39.5 pitbull rockers on 17 inch 8 lug micky thompson wheels i wanted to run on my 4runner till i get my jeep finished.

If all it takes is a 2" spacer to fit H1s on a full size full bodied rig i would be interested in a set.

Any thoughts on these requests, Dr. Vic

yup . . . . 8 on 6.5 - 2" spacers. 9/16" outer studs.

6 on 5.5 in the 1-1.75 flavor for me will be perfect.

2" spacers are done and at plating. We should be seeing our large batch of over 7,000 different sized studs in about three weeks, so please plan accordingly. Thanks - Jeff

Pricing?

Monday morning I'll post pricing on our new 5x5, 6x5.5 and 8x6.5 sizes.

It's.... past Monday.... :homer:

We have them here, just not on the page yet. Thanks - Jeff

If they're as nicely made & priced as those on your website I'll be stoked! Will you post or pm me a price on a pair of 6 lug to 8 lug adapters, please? Thanks Dr. Vic.

this.or .8 to 6.buy em right now.thanks, call me when you get them.

Spoke to Alan @ Ballistic today. He said wheel adapters are not currently in the works, but they can always machine a set of custom adapters per customer specs. Wheel spacers in a variety of flavors are what they are offering now. I tried to convey to him that there seems to be a market for some adapters, but only time will tell if they are going to develop some. I sure hope they do.

Any word on the 8x6.5 with 9/16 stud pricing/availability?

Tax season is apon us, the sooner you get pricing up, the sooner I can allocate money. Just saying, and I'm not the only one. I'd put in 25 hour days to get more product on the site so spring builders and tax return $$$ can buy them.

ANy word on the 8x6.5 to 5x5.5 adapter ?

Only found the 5 X 4.5 wheel spacers. Is there a price yet on the 8 X 6.5 two inch spacers? :confused:

If enough people post up with requests for these adapters & spacers to show that there's a market for them, they will likely start to look at expediting their production. At least I hope they will.

i am looking for a pair of spacers to fit over the bearing assembly on my rear dana 70 my studs are 5/8 they are 8 lug the spacers need to be 4 inch spacers to even out my track width i am running h1's and i have a dually front end and rear end could you pm me a price if possible to build and i can get you more exact measurements on the bearing assembley so the spacers will fit over them thanks.

can you make a 4 inch with 5/8 hardware?

I'll pm you a quote, might not be pretty though...

Jeff

I'll be haven' me a full set of those after my swap is complete :smokin:

none of the quotes i have been getting are pretty but i'll buy from you if not too ugly...lol

I am curious how much $$ did the anodizing and engraving add to the final pricing?

$118... Just kidding

If you want a set without engraving or anodizong you'll save a couple bucks, but you will wait 3-4 months until our next large production run.

Jeff

Nice! Ordering now..

Jeff,
I'd really like a set of adapters to take a 5x4.5 pattern out to 8x6.5 with 2" of spacing. I'm big on the idea of only changing one axle at a time when possible (for trouble shooting purposes since you can never figure out exactly what's wrong if you change too many things at once) and I'd love it if I could run these spacers on the front 44 allowing me to go ahead and put this 70 under the rear and trouble shoot before I tackle the full hydro HPD60 64" WMS front setup... I'm sure there will be plenty of trouble-shooting there in it's own right :-) Clearly this is a custom type deal and I'm sure the price would vary accordingly but it seems that if you are milling the 8 x 6.5's from a solid block you could simply leave the center section in there (as the 5x4.5 hub center is so small) and recess the platforms for me to bolt in the 5 x 4.5" studs. No?

WOW! my shopping list keeps growing.

Oh yeah... Ballistic's been doing that to me for years now... Luckily you can store items in your shopping cart now once you have an account so I don't have to re-add stuff all the time now :D

Hmmm.... I guess with KOH this week nobody's home. Usually either Jeff or Allen chime in by now. Oh well, I hope the weather in Johnson Valley is good and you guys are having a blast and just let me know when you get back!

you guys fuckin rock!

Bumpin this back up. Any chance at 8x6.5" - 3" thick?

You would sell a ton of these to Chevy guys... if they were 2.5". :( It's the PERFECT width for running uncut H1's on SRW axles. Plus, I need a set. :D

We will be running spacers again in about 3 weeks, we will look into the alternate sizes at that time. Thanks - Jeff

Any chance at a hub centric style spacer also?

All of our spacers are hub centric.

All of our spacers are hub centric.

Sorry, should have more clear. Hub centric for a dually application. With a machined lip on the outside to line up the outer wheel.

Hmmmm..... probably not going to happen this time around unless you want to order a custom set through Allen or there are others that are interested. Let me know - Jeff

Well if you want to have Allen PM me i will get with him on what i need. Thanks.

I'm gonna talk some more about those "alternate sizes" when I call tomorrow. :D I reeeeeally want 2.5's, and your pricing is sweet. No one locally wants to bother. :( Freakin' Ebay. :mad2:

Hub centric to what? GM axles?

Jeff

What would it take to get a 2.5" set??? that's the perfect set to run stock H1's on a fullsize GM.... and yes that 1/2" makes enough difference. :D

Any plans for 1.0" or 1.5" versions of these as well?

Jeff, do you have one of these laying around that is say a ding and dent? I need one for a project that can have cosmetic defects.

i need a set of 8 lug spacers too, any word on these? - but only if they are the ford hubcentric design. i need them for in between the rear tires on my ford dually.

these look awesome, and the price is right, just need to make sure they work for a ford application

thanks

Any adapter offeriung? I.e. for the guys wanting to run standard on their Ford metrics?

No adapters yet. We're working on lowering our production cost on these spacers so maybe we will be able to stock a few more options. Just the 2" 8 on 6.5" for right now along with our other stock spacers which can all be seen here

Wheel Spacers (http://www.ballisticfabrication.com/Wheel-Accessories_c_134.html)

Do you know when the 8x6.5 2" spacers will be ready. They have been backordered since at least the first week in February.

Thanks

Any word on these yet...are they in stock...

Any info on my Order from Dec?

thought I would fallow up.

After Never receiving a reply to any emails, PM's, or Posts I called and Cancelled my order after being told that Ballistic Fabrication had no Idea when they would start production of their wheel spacers. After 3 more phone calls and 3 weeks of waiting I received my Refund for parts that were never received and where paid for in full when the order was placed.

I was very pleased with receiving the rest of my order promptly, but I am rather upset with how the wheel spacers and other back ordered parts where handled by Ballistic Fabricaiton. Sadly I nor the Shop I work for will do business with ballistic fabrication from their lack of Customer Service and comunication.

I'd like to apologize for this personally. I just checked my PM box, but didn't have any messages from this user name. When I checked my email inbox, I discovered an email that I clearly missed.

It is never our intention to not answer someone, I clearly dropped the ball in this case. I hope you can accept my apology.
