Good afternoon all. I went to order wheel spacers today, from bro-tek’s Website. They said they’re not shipping to the US right now due to customs/boarder issues. Has anyone else had this issue? Any ideas?
Bro-tek wheel spacers
- Thread starter NewToys
- Start date
I have OEM spacers, so no issues for me.
You might ask Bro-tek or their website what dealers carry them. It's possible someone has old stock.
Are you trying to go wider than 2 inches?

Have you looked at Bora? They are made in the US. https://www.motorsport-tech.com/
I don't know if Kubota makes OEM ones. Mine for my L is about 1 1/2 inches.
It always baffles me why people pay for high dollar designer wheel spacers...
kinda the same as buying fancy bolt on (or weld on) bucket hooks.
much cheaper alternatives.

My CL and FBMP listings are absolutely filled with wheel spacers for CHEAP! Maybe start there?
My problem is finding a match. I regularly see lots of listings for the 6x5.5 as this must be very common for trucks out there. But I need the 6x6 for my tractor's rear wheels and these so far have been very hard to find on the 2ndary market. I cannot justify the premium prices on the Broteks or the Boras that are readily available so the hunt continues

I guess it depends on how much money you have in tractors/implements. I think my OEM spacers were about $200. That's not very significant considering how much a L2501HST, Rotary Cutter, Pallet Forks, Rear Blade, Quick Hitch, and Grader Scraper costs.
Your analogy or reasoning doesn't make any sense at all.
Just because you have a lot of money tied up in tractors and Implements...
That means you should piss away money on overpriced wheel spacers or other items... because comparatively it's a smaller amount of money?
I don't think so.
But whatever floats your boat.
I paid $33.00 for Jeep spacers 7 years ago.
No need to spend 5x that for a Name.... Regardless of how many tractors I own.
And with the cost of inflation now?
What if your tractor hub size is different than a jeep ... ?
I have have bought from both Bro-Tek and Bora, they both are small manufacturers making top quality spacers that fit ... I will not buy chinese stuff, which is most of the junk found on eBay and Amazon ... To each there own ...
It is a hunk of aluminum, so it shouldn't matter where it comes from. You can buy US-made lug nuts for your wheels if you want. I use Chrome ones from Amazon. I think that the set of 20 cost about $15 a couple of years ago. I also bought the spacers from Amazon for my BX.
Aluminum comes in different alloy's ... But machining quality also comes into play ... But if someone is happy, what difference does it make what they buy?
I tend to buy quality equipment and tools, they tend to hold there value and provide life long performance.

Not that steel is necessarily required, but I believe the Kubota OEM spacers like I have are steel. I know mine are made right for my tractor.
