Wheel spacers
Contemplating putting wheel spacers on my 07 JK. What are the pros and cons? input greatly appriciated
|
I've ran them without issues just get good ones from either Motorsport tech in Sparks or Spidertrax.

There are some links in post #6 that might be helpful.

I'd much rather have properly backspaced wheels, but alas I'm currently running spacers myself. As already suggested, buy quality.....not some cheap ebay spacer. Install properly and maintain em. I typically just double check the lugs when I have wheels off for whatever reason....which for me is pretty occasionally. No issues yet with used set of Spidertrax I picked up a while back.

Be sure whatever spacers you buy are hubcentric, make sure to remove all of the brake rotor assembly clips, torque spacer lugs to 100ft-lbs.
There's zero difference between the $90 ebay spacers and the $200 spidertrax spacers. |

There's zero difference between the $90 ebay spacers and the $200 spidertrax spacers. SpyderTrax spacers now have a recess machined into the backsides of the spacers that allow you to keep the rotor retention clips. Before installing any spacers, it’s a good idea to wire brush any rust from the hub and face of the rotor that the spacer will mate to. From there, a thin coating of antiseize around the hub - wiping off excess residue - will keep your spacers from corroding and locking onto your hubs in the same manner that most of our hub-centric alloy wheels do...

Been running spidertrax for about 2 years now with no issues. :thumbsup: No downside as far as I can tell, unless you run into a tire store that won't fool with them when it comes time to have some work done .
