    As stated by others here, there is little difference on the hub whether one installs a spacer, or if one installs rims with the equal amount of back space.

    Ironically, if one supports new rims with deeper back spacing, it would seem logical to support spacers as well....no?

    Yes, however you may want to go to 265x70 on tire size. Here is my setup (265x70 on stock 16" steelies) and 1.25" Spidertrax in all 4 corners.

    I know they'll sell em but places like 4wheel parts won't install them bc of the liability tried to do it and use my factory rims but didn't work out so bought rims offset

    OEM Roof Rack, Aries Nerf Bars...... hopefully more to come!

    last time i installed spacers on a vehicle of mine two of my wheel bearings wore out to the point the wheel itself was wobbleing within 1000 miles. the car itsself only had about 6000 miles on it. after replacing the bearings i took the spacers off and presto! no more problems with the bearings.

    Had my 1.25" all pro hub-centrics since early February and still no problems what so ever. The wide stance looks very beast and I've heard no vibrations or rattling. Handling is still great. And yeah I wheel that bitch hard core.

    GTK I have 5100's set @ 1.75" on my DCLB and I just picked up my spidertrax today. I can't wait till I have some time to install 'em. I work with some guys that have been running Sidertrax for about 30,000 miles with zero problems.
