wheel adapters (1.25 or 1.5) for aesthetics puporses only
 
I have BFG KM2 33s without any rubbing issues after 2 inch lift

is it worth installing the wheel adapters only for looks ? any pics with before and after the wheel adapters would be great !

Thanks !

Anyone has pics or opinions ?

I dont have befor or after pics but I love my spacer in. I'm lifted 2.5 in and am running stock rubi rims and tires.

What were the main reasons for you to get the spacers?

I personnaly dont see how they would help me offroad but for some reason, i feel like getting some thats why im asking if its really worth the risk/money

you will have a wider stance, which can help in those off camber situations.

Thanks all, Still need to know if the look is worth it ? Any dangers if not verified each 100 miles ?

I have ran spacers on all my jeeps. It allows you to get full flex without rubbing on stock rims. i highly encourage them untill you get a diffrent rim

1.25 Spacers
 
4" of backspacing on the Blackrock 909s, the spacers are 1.25". Haven't had a problem with 2k miles so far. I retorqued the spacers 50 miles after the first install then with each tire rotation after and no problems. Also ran 2" spacers on my old TJ :yup: with no problems

The rears you can see how much they stick out from the stock fenders, the fronts are almost even with the bushwacker pocket flares.
