Default wheel spacers

Pro comp 33's rubbing on front, looks like I do need wheel spacers, dont think a 2 inch lift will solve the rubbing!! oh well its all in the fun of buying new stuff for the jeep , let me know of the choices you guys made for spacers thanks.

I've got 33's on a 2.5" lift. I never noticed any rubbing. Would it being a Rubi make any difference?

I've got an 08 rubi unlimited with 4" superlift suspension with 35x12.50 BFG KM2 with 1.5" spidertrax wheel spacers. I still had to add a couple washers to the steering bump stop behind the wheel so i wouldn't get slight rubbing on the front lower control arms. All is well now and I've been to Uwharrie offraod park and numerous mud holes. It's fine.

Got 315/70r17 On Stock Moabs W/t Spidertrax W/o Rubbing

Even At Full Crank Is It Rubbing On Both Sides ?? Or Just One Side If Just One Then Your Axel Is Not Centered Correctly

Its the width of the tires. You need spacers or wheels with about 4.5 " backspacing.

I have spidertrax spacers and love them

And ride better too. The Spidertrax 1.5's make quite a difference.

Well, I have two sets of spydertrax 1.5 spacers for sale. I had them for 3 months when I had my stock 18's, but recently put on a TF 2.5 BB and some 35Nittos Muds. The tires stuck out to far so I took the spacers off. I am selling them for 150.00 plus shipping. If anyone is interested. PM me. No reply to my recent posts.
