Default Wheel spacers

Newbie question.

Do I need wheel spacers for front and rear axels?

I am installing a 285/70/17 tire to my stock rim, one inch leveling kit all will be added Friday.

Wheel spacers are recommended for that size and larger tires if you are on stock wheels. I run 285/70/17 BFG AT and Rough Country 1.5" wheel spacers on stock wheels.

285+ will rub on the air dam at full turn and when flexing.

I love my RC wheel spacers, costed $118 shipped to my door, great instructions, and fast.

You don't need wheel spacers on the rear. But do you really want to run that way?

What JK-Ford said. I'm going to be in the market for wheel spacers soon, and I don't want each front tire sticking out 1.5" wider than the rear.
