I ran the 1.5" Spidertrax Wheel Spacers on mine for about 6 months (got new wheels and didn't need them anymore). Just follow the directions when installing, and you'll be fine. Go with a reputable company like Spaidertrax though. You don't want to save a buck with something like that. Theirs come with the loc-tite you will need. Also, you will need to trim, or remove your plastic "skid plate" under the front bumper. The tires will rub it at full turn. I just took mine off and threw it away since it serves no purpose.

Mine have been on for 15000 miles, 35x12.50x17 with the spidertrax 1.5, checked every tire rotation, they haven't budged.
