Default Centramatic balancers with wheel spacers

Has anyone tried to use the auto wheel balancers on their JK hubs? I was told they wouldn't fit due to the brake calipers but why not use wheel spacers? I am sick of ruining $300 tires that won't balance. Any (reasonable) thoughts would be appreciated, whatever that means.

Here is an older thread that a few of us were talking about the auto balancers.

Thumbs up

Thanks for the link. I talked with Robert at Centramatic and he said that I could use an adapter/spacer to make them work. He jumped on to find some adapters for his truck so he could do the same thing. I also asked him if they had ever looked into manufacturing a wheel and they had but too many configs.

So the spacer goes on and then the wheel?
