    So I purchased some spidertrax a while back, and am in need of some new tires soon as my treads are starting to wear thin, so I was going to get new wheels and tires so I could go a little larger with the spidertrax while I wait on $$ for my lift.

    Current Setup:
    18" Factory Sport Double Spoke Wheels
    Factory 265x60/18" Duellers

    Thinking the SCS Stealth 6
    285x70/17"

    Would there be any rubbing issues with 1.25" Spacers? The wheels come with 4.3" of backspacing as well.

    Also, this is my DD, and my commute is 80 highway miles a day going on average 85mph, should I worry about the spacers not holding up at higher speeds? After getting the new wheels and tires, im sure i'll be a slightly more conservative driver, assuming people get out of my way.

    Thanks in advance.

    At stock height, you're not going to run 285s without pulling your hair out after making a few turns with either the stock wheels or with our wheels. Your best option is to run 265/70/17 until you get a 2.5-3" lift.

    Btw, with the Stealth 6, you will not need your adapters/spacers anymore. They're speced out to provide a nice stance that I'm sure you will be happy with.
