2 in. Rear wheel spacers -no longer for sale

This is for a set of Fred Goeske (wheeladapter.com) steel spacers. These bring the rear track of the E350 out to the same width as the front and offer a significant improvement in handling.

These are used, have a little surface rust ( sand and paint them if it bothers you) and are built for a full-float rear end and wheels with a 4.75" center bore ( I was running eagle wheels).

A new set from Fred is $375. EDIT: No longer for sale

I’m not sure it makes a difference weather it’s full float or semi-float, I had a set made years ago from him for my semi-float that were able to be swapped over to my new full float, that might not always be the case though I guess, depends more on hub size.

Great spacers!
And great deal at $200!
I've had a pair of those on my semi-float rear axle for the last four years.

There's people who swear that a quality pair of **aluminum** spacers are adequate....but jeez, for the total weights we put onto these built-out vans' axles, why screw around....the Fred Goeske steel ones are definitely the real deal.

(By the way, heavy as all get-out....I think a shipped package of two spacers was around 50 pounds.....)

Fred is an interesting character, btw....former National champion drag racer....naturally a real inclination for engineering/building bomb-proof vehicle components. Cool stuff.

Sorry to get anyone's hopes up. I called and chatted this morning and was told that so long as the studs are the same (they are) that the full-float vs. semi-fload was not an issue and the spacers would be fine. In light of that, I'll be moving them over to my new van.


Still, I cannot recommend these enough. Well worth the $375 (shipped). --I believe he knocks a few bucks off that if you pick them up in Canoga Park, CA.
