You should measure you wheel studs before deciding on anything less than 1.5" You need to be sure that the studs are not past the face where the wheel bolts on.

and X5 for the Spidertrax

SpiderTrack spacers are the most expensive and they are colorful. They have great reviewsa on them out there, but they cost almost 2x what I spent on my Rough Country 1.5" spacers.

I ordered my spacers directly from a rep of Rough Country and he shipped a set of 4 to my door for $118. I have been using these spacers now for nearly 30k miles. I retorque at every oil change, even though none have yet to be loose.

Only downside is Spidertracks come with a tube of Lock Tite, Rough Country does not. So run to your local hardware store and pick some up for $2 if you order from Rough Country.

eBay ones are a hit and miss, most are good, but don't take the chance and be that one customer that gets a shitty set.

PS Whatever you go with, don't forget to take off the metal lug clips that are next to the hub.

X2 on the RC spacers.


70 000 km no issues.

One question though. What are you touring them to? Same as the factory spec for the rims?

Spidertrax are great quality and made in the USA. Torque them to 90 then recheck the torque at 85 every tire rotation. 1.5" will clear your wheel studs.

Would it be good to go bigger than 1.5" ? And bigger does it cause more stress?

Mine are 1.5" Rough Country ones and they work perfect on my stock wheels and my 33X12.5's

No issues at all, they are reasonably priced too!
