   I've been reading your saga of the pickup truck tires & spacers up to this   
   point, and it's been   
   one heckuva education!   
      
   As far as the carbibles "review" you linked to, that is SALES LITERATURE   
   disguised AS a   
   tire review!  In that case you're right: worthless! Unlike the many actual   
   customer/driver   
   reviews one can look up on Tire Rack, which I've never been steered wrong by,   
   pardon the   
   lousy pun. ;)   
      
   As far as the spacers and whatever the heck those were mounted on the rear end   
   of that   
   pickup are concerned, if this young man you're helping is mounting OEM(or as   
   close to it)   
   rim/rubber combos on his truck, then the kid can just store those   
   monstrosities in the back   
   of his home garage, closet, or a 'crate fulla memories' - or fulla horrors,   
   take your pick, lol!   
      
   Highly unlikely that any OEM carmaker would need spacers on a wheel & tire   
   install, so the   
   truck will probably handle as intended with the new hardware on it, if not,   
   BETTER, than with   
   whatever wagon-wheeled, double-plus-sized super wide hotline bling the   
   previous owner   
   was running on it!
