Nubie question.
 
I'm a former mustang guy and I grew up a bit and bought my first jeep. When I had stangs we used wheel spacers for a wider stance. Im picking up some bigger stock wheels tomorrow that have been bedlined to look like mw3 wheels. I was wondering if 1" spacers are ok to put on for looks. I just did a 2" spacer lift and I think it would look sick with the new wheels. Im not going offroading until at least next year and that will be light trails at best.

Spacers will not hurt or limit your jeep in any way. You actually benefit from them while moving up to bigger tires eliminating rubbing issues at full lock out.

I've had spydertrax spacers for over a year now, works great! Just make sure their torqued to specs and all good.

Ive been runnin 1.5 inch spacers for 2 years with zero problems. Wider stance equals better stability. Also it helps with a lot of clearance issues. Just make sure you followmthe directions, and torque them good.

Same here. As long as you maintain them (check the bolts are torqued properly) then they are safe

X3, I just check the torque when rotating the tires.
