Wheel spacers are typically made of steel or aluminum and are available in a variety of thicknesses. They are installed by removing the lug nuts that hold the wheel in place, sliding the spacer onto the hub, and then reinstalling the lug nuts.
It is important to note that wheel spacers can affect the handling of a truck, so it is important to choose the right spacer for the application. If you are not sure what size spacer you need, you should consult with a qualified mechanic.
