Im looking to run 17 inch rims and know that I will need spacers so they wont rub, but figured Id ask what brands are good for spacers since the prices seem to range a lot.

 

Although I havent had much experience with mine and haven't had any other brands my spider trax seem to be fine.

 

Im no expert but i have the alloy usa ones from quadratec and haven't had any problems. 59.99 per pair.

 

If you want the best there is no question Spidertrax is the best.

You say you're "looking to run 17 inch rims"... does that imply you're looking to run the factory 17s?

If your implying that you are looking at purchasing new rims that happen to be 17s then you can avoid wheel spacers entirely by purchasing rims with adequate backspacing.

Otherwise, I'd stick with the Spidertrax myself. I ran a set of those for 2.5 years without any problems whatsoever.

 

I kinda thought the spidertrax were the best from the way people talked about them. And am looking at new 17 inch rims, but with 33 inch tires on them. From a privious thread another member showed me with the 33s it would need spacers. (guessing 1.25 or 1.5 inch)

 

If you are buying new rims you won't need spacers, just make sure you have 4.75" or less backspacing and you should be good.

I am running 35s without wheel spacers. My rims have 4.25 (I think) inches of backspacing.
