1.5" wheel spacer with 37" tire question!
Will 1.5 wheel spacers rub my front bumper? My jeep is my daily driver. It's a 2door with 4" teraflex and 37" tires. I Dont want to tear up my stock bumper or waste my money.

Is it your spacers that are causing the rubbing of your tires on your bumper you are concerned with???
Chop it! Make it a stubby
Or maybe if it rubs there you might need bigger spacers??? What size 37 and what BS??? Im curious now

If you tires are 37x12.5 with 1.5'' spacer you should be fine. Remove/cut the air dam and you could chop your front bumper into a stubby, its cheap and it keep a clean look

Wheel spacers move the tires out. Not forward or backward or up or down.
If you have stock flares, and your current tires tuck up inside the wheel well when flexed - they may contact the lip of the flares when flexed with wheel spacers.
But there should be no difference where the bumper is concerned. If you are not rubbing it now, you shouldn't rub with the wheel spacers.
And even if you do rip the bumper off, you can pick them up on craigslist or in the for sale section for $20. Sometimes free.
