Default Rough Country wheel spacers

Anyone ever used these? They're a bargain at half the price of Spidertrax but I'm concerned about quality.

Any thoughts?

I went with the Spidertrax simply because they've been doing wheel spacers for years and are known for there quality. First I've heard of the RC.

If you do buy these, make sure you also buy some thread lock and use it on the studs on the vehicle hub. I looked at the installation instructions and it doesn't include it with the kit.

I am sure they are fine. They make a good lift kit, why would they make a bad spacer? All spacers are made from one piece aluminum and is most likely cnc machined. If RC priced them at 110.00 knowone would be questioning the quality.

They may raise the price after reading this post.

They are not "hubcentric".
So make sure you torque them properly, in a star pattern.
Other than that, the quality is good.

x2... Then again I am not a rough country fan. If it is only $50 more to get some you know are good why buy some that may be made in china garbage? to save $50? if one breaks I bet $50 will look cheep compared to what you will be spending. If you live. I just don't think it is worth chancing it. Then again you may not care about the safety of yourself/friends/family... They may be great, they may not. I wont be the chump testing them out at 80mph.


keep a camera in the jeep just in case. hehe
