Wheel spacer question?
I am sure someone has covered this somewhere but I have yet to find what I am looking for. I am ordering the AEV 2" spacer lift. Planning on running the MT Deegan's 285/75R16. AEV says I can run 33's. To the heart of the question what do I need for spacers if any. I am going to run stock rims. It's a 2016 JKU Black Bear. I want to go with the least spacing possible. But don't want rubbing.

The spidertrax type adapters, with two sets of bolts. Not the thin ones that sandwich in between. Most choose 1.5". Teraflex makes a 1.25", but you may need to grind down the studs to run them.
With that size tire, you might even be ok without the adapters. Or with a washer or two on the steer stops. Too many variables to say if they'll rub, so yeah, the adapters are probably a good call.
