Default Wheel spacers.. 1.5" or 2"?? Pictures

Should I go with the 1.5" or 2"? I'm going to be running 33's, I currently have a 2.5" lift on, so the spacers are purely for looks, anyone have any picture of the set up your running?

Three quick questions about the spacers;

1. Do you have to cut-down or replace the lug bolts,
so they don't stick out beyond the spacers?

2. Is the standard sizing for the JK, (5x5) or something else?

3. Aluminum or Steel?

No the stock lugs don't stick out of the spacer. They are 5x5 and aluminum anodized blue for rust and scratch protection. Also make sure they are hub centric!!!

hub centric? When is the center of the wheel not at the hub?

each wheel spacer is wheel and hub centric for a perfect fit.

I was looking at the ones you have....
cost $99. / set of 2. need 4. $200 total.
i like the red ones, but those spidertrax
are in blue, only.

Spidertrax are hub centric, they have the best track record among jk owners. Tried and tested is a great comfort when these things are holding your tires onto your jeep.

Just installed my spidertrax and love them.

I'm using Rough country's newer hub centric machined aluminum 1.5's, the color is just brushed aluminum, $125 for all four if I remember right. Tried and true they work great!

hub-centric, 6061 billet aluminum. The anodizing does nothing. Mine are 1.5, the tire tread is even with the flare lip. 1 3/4'' lift in front only.
