Do I need spacers
This might be on here already but I coouldnt find anything about it. Do you have to run spacers for bigger tires on a jeep w/ stock rims. I have a 09 4dr Rubicon and I am wanting to put 35's and was wondering if I need spacers for the front and back to run those tires on my stock rims. Any info will be helpful. Thanks

Start with the FAQ's (nailed right to the top of this modified area...)
Q: What back spacing will I need on my wheels in order to clear 12.50 wide tires?
Q: What is backspacing?
Q: What are wheel spacers?
You will also notice that most lift mfg's suggest a 4.50 or less BS. (All stock rims have a 6.25" BS)

Not exactly hijacking here, but I've got the same question. I'm putting on a 2.5" coil lift and I'm keeping my stock wheels for now. I guess I'll need spacers. I'll have to order some 1.5" spacers, I guess. Dang! Emptying another pocket!
