Shopping for 2 inch spacers and coming up with 280, 300 clams. Then I came across these. Just have to buy about 30 bucks worth of lugnuts which brings the total to around 85 bucks

Just make sure the lug size, bolt dia and center hole sizes are all right. 
And why would you have to buy lug nuts, you use the ones that you have now.

Ditto what NIW said........
Aluminum is aluminum ...the labor is where is cost runs up the bill,
Hell I paid 200+ for my BX spacer....worth every penny - but I would be a little smarter now days and look for something that you are looking at - and buy the lugnuts/bolts!

Mike,
I just looked up wheel spacers for your tractor, and yes you have an odd size lug pattern on yours 6 x 6.
Those should fit it (but do verify dimensions)!
The only issue sounds like the lug size is SAE and just a tiny bit larger, so yea you might have to drill your lug holes and get SAE lug nuts if your rim takes tapered nuts,(some don't) if it takes flat nuts then they include what you need.
The Spacer dimensions of the ones you picked.
Bolt Pattern: 6x152.4-6x152.4
Thread Pitch: 9/16"x18
Thickness: 2"
Hub bore: 117.3 mm
Includes Studs and Nuts

All lines up perfect. The tractors nuts have a different taper than the spacer. So I bought nuts that have the same taper.Just make sure the lug size, bolt dia and center hole sizes are all right.
And why would you have to buy lug nuts, you use the ones that you have now.
I lined up the spacer on the tractors studs without removing the wheel and it's a perfect match. Too busy to pull the wheels today. The studs on the spacer should fit thru the tractors wheel, if not might have to give em a quick drill. I will let you know. I do have wheels that requires the flat side of the lugnut be against the wheel and it uses a lock washer under the nuts. Sounds alittle confusing but from what I see it will be a perfect match with minimal effort. The center hub hole on the spacer is also a perfect fit for the tractors axle flangeMike,

Of course my tractor is different than yours is but I was able to find spacers for mine on Amazon.com for $39.95 shipping included. It pays to shop around. The big prices being charged by some companies just are not justified anymore. As you are aware, as long as you know your bolt pattern and spacing you can get spacers pretty cheaply now.

They do not need to be hub centric on my BX1860 nor my neighbor's BX2350. I don't know about any other models.
I used wheel spacers from amazon . On my 23s the jeep ones 5x 4.5 not hub centric ones .
Although there was a glitch ....
The kubota lug nuts fit in the holes no problem .
The 2 lug BOLTS fit also but the hex doesn't leave any room to get a socket on it
I solved it by milling a smaller hex head on the bolts
But not everyone has a milling machine.
40 bucks though and the tractor is much better

Think I would have jigged the spacer on a rotary table and bored the recesses larger. I have 3 mills, 2 Bridgeports and a Versa-Trak.
While on the subject, the comment was made that 'aluminum is just aluminum' Not true. Many grades of aluminum and many different configurations , from cast to forged to extruded and many different grades and strengths as well.

No not on a tractor, speeds do not get high enough to cause a problem with a sightly out of center spacer.
Was quicker and easier to just make the bolt heads be 11/16thsThink I would have jigged the spacer on a rotary table and bored the recesses larger. I have 3 mills, 2 Bridgeports and a Versa-Trak.
I bought a set last year from(???), if I did not have a lathe, they would not have worked. Don't remember what it was.
Hey guys, just a quick follow-up. I finally installed my spacers and they fit like a glove all for the price stated in my original post. Only additional cost was the lug nuts I had purchase. Still a tremendous savings. Also filled my rear tires with 15 gallons per tire with Walmart -25 washer fluid which is currently on sale for 1.50 gallon. Took the tires of, unscrewed valve stems. With wheels on the floor just gave the top bead a pop with a sledgehammer to open in one spot. Stuck a splitting wedge between rim and tire to open up a 10 in or so opening and poured the fluid in two gallons at a time. Had to put a Rachet strap on one to fill back up with air. The other only required alittle kick to seal. All done in minutes. Man I can remember spending a half day filling my Massey 50s tires years ago using an electric pump thru the stem...
Thanks for the follow up. Confirming or denying fitment on items like these is what helps out future lurkers!
I've been looking at wheel spacers as well and the prices are high. That said, I am going to bite the bullet and purchase a set knowing that if they don't fit or are defective etc. I can return them. I want to be safe and lay my trust in those selling the spacers match my needs and I feel better and more confidant that these spacers were made for my tractor. I'm going to have to wait until fall to get them though as I am having shoulder surgery in 2 weeks and they will just be sitting around the barn waiting for me to recover.
