Wheel spacers

lol, you using out of date photos! haha, I have 2" spacers all around lol, my spindles up front give me an extra 0.75"

 

My bad! That's the first I could find. Either way it's bad ass

 

and not even the right build thread!!! hahaha, granted even the new one isnt 100% up to date haha

 

I used spacers on my last Jeep after installing the lift. I didn't yet have the new wheels and tires and thought the OEM tires/wheels made the vehicle look like a roller skate with the 3" lift.

And I bought my spacers off of eBay. $99 and they worked perfectly. Zero issues with balance and quality was solid. Actually sold them three months later when my wheels/tires were installed for the same price I paid for them.

Use Loctite Red on the spacer to hub bolts and check torque after 500 miles. I had zero issues.

 

I got spidertrax 1.25on all four corners. Personally wouldnt do just the front as it may look funny stance wise. No problems with mine been running now for 4k with stock rims 265/70r17 bfg ko2. Will run these till worn out then get 285/70r17.

 

This. You don't need name brand spacers. Just make sure they are hub centric and have the correct bolt pattern.

 

I tried 1" spacers on all 4 corners and I had an intermittent wobble in front end......Very Irritating......so I dumped them.

 

What brand?
Stock tire size?
Do you do anything with alignment to compensate for the added scrub radius?

 

Got them at Summit Racing...there were Trail Gear. $89.95 per set.
285/70/17 Bridgestone Duelers AT's
Had just finished installing a Bilstein 2.5 Lift with OME AAL's and had alignment done after everything was installed.

Picked up some brand new Moto Metal rims and wobble is gone. IMHO spacers suck!

 

My guess is they were lug centric, and not hub centric. That would cause exactly what you're describing.

 

Not sure I understand the difference????

 

Lug centric just bolt right on up, with no regards to the size of the hub (that little circle in the middle of all 6 wheel bolts). This can lead to the spacer being ever so slightly off center, resulting in shakes and wobbles. Hub centric spacers have the center hole the perfect size to slip right over the hub, resulting in a perfectly centered spacer.

 

Wish I woulda known about that before I bought new rims!

 

I was just searching about doing this just in the front. I am running Ray10s and another local guy has another set of SCS wheels. Both are same offset and size. We are both running King ext in the fronts and King in the rear and his front has a much wider stance. The only big difference is his are on the factory from king setting and I raised mine with about an inch of threads showing. Since its raised up, it is pulling the control arms in making the front narrow. The rear sticks out fine, its just the front that bugs me. Adding 1 or 1.25 to the front was a thought I had.

 

If your rims aren't hub centric, you can buy adapter rings to make them hub centric.
