Default 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 !

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.

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

Default 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 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.
