There's no reason to look any further than Spidertrax.

This is a simple install right??? When the guys put the new wheels and tires on they can just pop them on before hand right?

Yep, just don't forget to take the little retaining rings off your lugs.

If you are getting new wheels anyway, why not get the correct backspacing so you don't need spacers?

It's as simple as changing a tire.... but some tire shops won't touch spacers and will claim it's a liability issue.

You're basically taking the wheel off, installing the spacer with threadlock, then installing the wheel over top. You need a jack and a torque wrench. Not hard to do yourself.
