Default Rough Country 1.5" wheel spacers installed
I like the way the stock wheels look, so I installed Mud Country 35x12.5x17 and waited for a set of wheel spacers. Here are some before and after pics.











****** MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE THE STAR WASHERS FROM YOUR STUDS******

used red loctite, torqued to 95 flbs.

Entire job took less the 1 hour, I can now turn to full lock without any rubbing.

yea i think the stock rims look great on any lifted jeep. If i do end up getting a JK rubicon or sahara with the nice rims i will be keeping them and using spacers. Looks great!

i thinks its because otherwise the spacers dont sit flush against the hub and so the bolts are more likely to loosen? thats my guess i would remove them if i were u.
