8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?

Perhaps davepl can provide further info on what he used with his H2 wheels.

Thanks for the reply. 1.5 inch thick spacers are the thinnest I could find...maybe something to do with structural integrity as the spacers have their own lugs.

I am taking a different approach to the problem now...I am currently in the process of switching out the DANA 60 open diff rear for a 14 bolt Full floater off an 87 1 ton. The hub seems to be a good bit less protrusive and may allow for hub caps and will definitely allow for screw-on center caps....now I'm stuck with 1.5 inch spacers ....
