It's pretty rare that I'll tell somebody to run a search, but dude, run a search!

Long answer: yes, lots of us run them. We all like Spidertrax. Nobody has had problems.

have rough countries, hate to be pretty particular on step torquing them. Would consider buying a higher end spacer if i could do it again. Didn't know there were hub and non-hub eccentrics when I bought mine...but they are working just dandy with no issues

Can't go wrong w/ Spydertrax. There's a set in my future. I ran them on my TJ for 3+ years with no problems.

I ran Spidertrax for about 10000 miles before upgrading to 35's. No problems at all but buy a torque wrench and make sure everything is torqued correctly.

Spidertrax are the way to go we have sold thousands of them and no issues at all.

Be careful of some of the other "import" brands that use inferior materials.
