My God these jeeps are looking great with those tires. Holy SHMoly. Quick question. If i get 275/70/18 on stock rims but choose 1.25" wheel spacers instead of 1.5", will this eliminate the rubbing at full turn of the wheel or do i need to use 1.5"? I mean going from 255/70/18 to 275/70/18 is around 0.85" wider but just in case there is something im missing i just wanted to consult with u guys. Thanks

Default Question about spacers

I can't tell too much from the pics although they are very good pics. Is the 1.5" spacer making the tires align with the fender or do they stick out a bit?
Love the Jeep by the way. That is what i have in mind for mine. Very nice to see it done.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. The tires align perfectly with the wheel spacers on and they give the Jeep a more aggresive stance. The tread is under the fender and the side wall probably sticks out slightly. I'll take some pics tomorrow for you guys.

WOW, 10 ply sidewalls! So much for airing down, my guess is you could air down to 5 PSI and you would never see the difference other than the tire spinning on the rim. True butt beaters I'd say.

Anyone air down, recheck the height and tire spinning on the rim after an afternoon delight?

I'd love to be proven wrong.

For those of you who had questions about the 275/70/18's with 1.5" Spidertrax. Here are some pics that show how far the Duratrac's stick out.
