wheel spacers 1/8" to 1/4"
 
I'm looking to use either 1/8" to 1/4" spacers. do I need to change out to longer studs? and does any one know what the torque specs for the lug nuts should be?

Why are you only wanting 1/8 to 1/4 inch spacers? I just don't see the point.

Because I need about 1/8" clearance to clear the brake caliper.

DO NOT use these piece of crap and very DANGEROUS types of wheel spacers. In many states, these are illegal for street use. The only type of wheel spacer you should use are the kind that bolt up to your axle and then your wheels to it.

As for torque specs on the lug nuts go, you should tighten them to 95 ft. lbs. :)

I agree with WayOfLife here, more or less... you should never use wheel spacers like this unless the wheel and spacer are both hub-centric. Chances of finding these for a Jeep are Nil, so you're better off going with the bolt-on kind.

I didnt need any spacers after all I just used a metal burr and shaved off about 3/32" off the edge of the brake caliper only on the front 2 everything spins smooth now, now I just need to figure out about the ESP? and what to do with it.
