Default Spidertrax Wheel Spacers Off Road Only?
I have some new 1.5" Spidertrax that I was going to install but now I am not sure the boxes have a warning that these are for "Off Road Only", what gives?
I thought that these were good for the street as well as off road.

Slap em on there. That's probably just some legal BS they have to put on the boxes. I've had mine on for over 8,000 miles. No problems.

Legal obligations basically. Wheel spacers are illegal in some states so they have to say that.

Yes it is in the instructions but always a good thing to reiterate.

I have been running my Spidertrax spacers on road for 3 months now. No issues as of today.

I've only had mine on for a week but no troubles so far. I was a little worried too but I just thought "screw it" and slapped'em on anyway. Seems like a lot of people have on their DD's.

I run 1.5" spidertrax on my DD and have no issues as well. One of the best mods I've done so far. My JKU rides and handles much better.....
