Ok so here is the short of it, I recently upgraded to 37" MTRKs and have a TF 4" lift, which netted me more than 4 inches. My question is (and I have done some searching) Since the vehicle is a lot higher now I was wondering if adding wheel spacers would benefit me with a wider track on road and off? I currently have wheels that have 4.75" back spacing and no rubbing with the tires. Would spacers be a bad idea in anyway? I'm just looking for info about this since I know very little about wheel spacers other than what they do and that they should be periodically maintained. If anyone has pics of this set up it would be appreciated as well thanks.

Here is what the current set up looks like

 

Ahhhh nice jeep. Like ur front bumper, I have one too... Can I ask what fenders those are? I have 37's and a TF 4" too, also have 1.5 wheel spacers. GET THEM!!! Don't settle for any other brand due to quality. Get the SPIDERTRAX brand wheel spacers cause they use high grade aluminum and grade 8 bolts. Worth every penny. My jeep even has a little better handling on turns now. Haven't had one problems for the whole time I've had em 15,000 miles now.

 

Bushwacker flats and do you think you could post some shots of how it looks? I'm really considering adding them... Does the Jeep feel more "stable" on/off road with the added width? I was thinking adding only 1.25 since I have no issues with rubbing right now, would 1.5 be that much bigger a difference? And what backspacing do you have now?

 

Bump for this anyone else with any input? It really doesn't matter what size tire you're running 35's or whatnot I'm just looking for options.

 

There are always advantages and disadvantages to making your jeep wider. The wider you are the more stable the jeep will be but being wider might also hurt you when you are on a narrow trail. I don't like wheel spacers myself they put more stress on things such as bearings and ball joints.

 

Yes it more stable with the 1.5" spacers... But I believe spidertrax only has the 1.5" just do them and I would put money down that you will like them. Here is a pic of my jeep with them on. Not sure what backspacing I have but the rims are 4.5 bs

 

You have pics of this set up?

 

I have 4.5 Tm lift added some spacers looks more agresive the ride is good

 

Put my spacers on last week and cant believe that it took this long. Love them. The ride, look, and trail. All good

 

I'm running 1.5" spacers with 4.5 bs wheels on 35s...looks good and handles a lot better with the spacers on.
