The wheel spacers I got from ebay were ok except the studs were terrible. They were aluminum studs not steel. Over time the threads couldnt hold the side to side pressures of the vehicle. They eventually bent and the threads stripped. I went to steel bolts. Then down the road I got proper rims with the right back space.

Spoke to soon, idk how satisfied I am with the spacers. Something's not right, I can feel it. Don't know how to describe it. Probably gonna take them off next tire rotation. Disappointed to say the least. Oh well by the time I will need new tires I will be ready for the wheels and lift I want.

I've had my spidertrax on for over a year and never a problem. Checked regularly during oil changes and other maintenance. I would be surprised if it was the spacers but you never know. Hope you find out what the problem is soon.
