New to the Jeep world and new to the forum. I have a 2007 Sahara. I want to keep stock rims but eventually get bigger tires on the stock 18's. For now though I would like the tires to stick out past the fenders a bit. I need expert opinions on wheel spacers. What size spacers to accomplish my goal? What brand? Also would the spacers still work when I upgrade to larger tires on the stock 18's? Largest tires on 18's without a lift? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

 

Welcome to the jeep world. Buy quality spacers: I used 1.5" Spidertrax for 4 years and about 90,000 miles with 275x70x18 Cooper STTs. That makes a skinny 33 or ~33x11x18; it ran flush to the fender. So a 12.5" would go past the fenders. Not all shops will mount a 12.5" tire on the stock 7.5" rims, although it works well. Just follow the instructions with the spacers, use locktite, torque, recheck torque and make sure you remove the lock washers on all of the studs.

No lift street use & flat fenders = 35's
No lift & dirt = 33's ( may have minor rubbing )
