Need help! Wheel spacers needed?
Have a teraflex 2.5" coil lift and rugged ridge black rim that are 17x9 with a 4.625 back spacing and Goodyear duratracs 35". Am I going to need wheel spacers? The tires are 315/70/17
Thanks

With a 315 tire and those rugged ridge wheels you shouldn't need any wheel spacers on the street. On the tails with a lot of flex it may rub a little. I wouldn't see you having any problems tho. Be sure to post up some pics once you get em on. Let me know if you have any other questions id be happy to help.

I have the AEV Pintlers which have 5.2" bs (less clearance than you) and 315/70-17. Have no rubbing issues.

You may not need the spacers, but for $100 you can put them on. I have Procomp xtreme m/t tri-ply lt315/75r16 with 1.5" spacers.
Right now I am running my winter tires and the jeep actually feels different when driving. It really does feel more stable. Plus, it looks pretty badass.
Some people don't like spacers, but it is a cool and inexpensive mod.
