The issue you will have is that your tires will stick about a mile out of the wheel wells. (figuratively, of course)

Stock BS = 6.25

Your wheels = 4.625
Spacer = 1.5
New BS = 3.125"

Where did you read that backspace causes DW? Do you mean caster, perhaps? Generally it is tire balance or a loose trackbar or components. The extra BS may add a bit more strain, but should not case DW.

Wingsfan, you were too quick hitting enter...
I saw the info on DW in a thread. i cant remeber what one. Some people had said they had seen DW caused by wheel spacers...I took that as being an issue with BS I might have taken that too far.


With you guys saying it woulding look too hot and the chance of breaking things I think i will back out. My Jeep is a DD and cant be broke down. This wasnt a mod to help with rubbing more just for looks. Thanks for the help.

Just ordered a set of 4 spacers! Ya can't beat the price The only big difference that I can see between these and Spydertrax is no fancy blue anodize. I have been looking for 1.5" 5X5 spacers for a while and this is the deal.
