I am with a lot of these guys. I won't run spacers and 37s due to personal experience although a lot of people do with no issues. I have a 2013 rubicon unlimited and ran method nv wheels and they were great wheels but held mud like crazy. I switched back to savegre like on my 2007 and love them. I am running 37 Nitto trail grapplers with rock krawler 3.5 max travel kit. I added two stainless 3/8 lock washers on my steering stops and lost very minimal steering and absolutely no rubbing. When I tell you I tested it I did full lock and compression of spring. Like I said many have their own opinions as I do but from the responses this may help you more since you already have the wheels. Mine is also a daily driver.

I would not run a wheel spacer, however wheel adapters if properly install are perfectly fine with 37" tires and really require no maintenance beyond checking torque. Just expect extra stress on ball joints and unit bearings with either wider wheels or adapters.

Not sure I'm following. Are you referring to an adaptor to convert lug patterns? Or are you referring to an Spidertrax spacer as an adaptor. Sorry for my confusion just trying to get clarification.
