Default wheel spacer pics?

I have a wrangler X on order with 17" rims and would like to see spacers on stock rims/tires.


I know the main purpose is for rubbing issues when going to a larger tire but I just don't like the fender gap. I think bringing out the tires would look much better, and increasing the track couldn't hurt either.

thanks,
Wes

I added spacers (1.5 inch) to my stock Rubi and it looks 1000 times better. Just do it. Then later if you go to bigger tires on stock rims you already have them.
I have pictures of before and after but they are not loaded up on my computer yet. They are on my wifes camera and I don't have it at the moment. If you PM me your e-mail I will find them and send it to you if you are interested.

I don't think you will be sorry you bought them. I think they are a big bang for the buck item. It just gives the stock wheels a little more of an aftermarket look.

Ok, worked late again tonight. i have been on call the last 7 of 8 days. Anyway. I will post them here as When I did a search I could not find any of just a stock Rubi with no lift etc...

Mine will be Stock rubi unlimeted with 1.5 inch spacers and stock tires. I think it looks like it should have stock.

Stay tuned...

Jeff

Ok, I have pictures but I can't put them on my website right now as I have a new Apple computer and I have no idea how to get it to work with my web. I will probably have to start over with new software.

anyway, if anyone wants me to e-mail them the 4 or 5 photos I have and Host them for me that would be great. I could upload them here but hosted on this site, they are tiny and not worth loading up.

I may try one of the hosting websites but if you want them now let me know. Not sure when I will get around to putting up the pics on a host website.

Let me know.

Jeff

Thats about all I have. I can show any new view you may want of the spacers on but I don't have any more pics of it stock.

SOLD, no need for more pics.

Where did you buy yours from? I checked the spidertrax site and they're out of stock.

thanks for the pics, much appreciated.

I ordered from Quadratech, one of our site sponsors. I got them very quick and they are a piece of art.

One thing, go out and buy some more loctite as i really don't think they come with enough. It was barly enough to put on each lug for sure.
