Minimum spacer for OEM wheels and 2.5" TerraFlex?
Guys,
I've got an '08 X w/S pkg and Rubicon 17" x 7.5" wheels. I have a locker in back and the electronic front swaybar disconnect in front.
I recently fitted LT28570R17 BFG KM2s on the factory wheels with no rubbing. My JK looks great, but a couple more inches ride height would really make it look trick.
I don't prefer wheel spacers simply because I like the appearance of the factory wheels and their negative offset (which keeps everything tucked neatly under the wells).
Northridge says I'll need wheel spacers to gain needed clearance for the longer swaybar end links once I install the TerraFlex 2.5" lift and shocks. Otherwise, they'll rub on the inside of the factory rims.
MY QUESTION FOR THE BOARD: What is the minimum size wheel spacer you guys think I can get away with while maintaining necessary clearance between the wheels and swaybar links?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff in Omaha
