Question Which Spacer?

I've been looking around at getting a set of wheel spacers. Should I go with a set of 2" for $160 off ebay or a set of 1.5" spidertrax for $100?

Nope, I'm buying all 4. I know you sell for about $200 for the set of 1.5", But I don't quite have that kind of money.

Buy quality wheel spacers. Machined from solid aluminum, and hub centric. The Spidertrax wheel spacers that Northridge sells will work well for you.

I'm still not sure what you'd do with just one pair though.

I'm not buying just one pair. I'd be buying 4 Wheel spacers.


The 2" off ebay are not hub centric, but they are billit, same as the Spidertrax.

The 1.5" I would be buying off a member on the forum.

I'm mainly wondering if the 2" would be advised against, because they are not hub centric.

Not knocking anybodys elses product. But I've been running rough country spacers for over a year now with no problems what so ever. there a lot cheaper and have grade 8 studs and there billit. I really like them and I have pushed my jeep off-road also so far so good
Just FYI

I would go with the spidertrax. You don't want to cheap out on spacers. They make a top notch product with a great history. I have had zero issues with mine

I have had bad experience with no name spacers. Now i am running teraflex and been very pleased. They are heavier from the others cause they are made from steel. Spidertrax are top quality,too.
