I'm really on the fence with these. I want to keep my stock rims and put 35 x 12.5's on them and will also need spacers.

I keep hearing how safe they are but I have a 7 year old that I just don't want to think about the possibilty of a problem when he's with me.

I got some time though.

 

Spacers are very safe, provided they are the right kind, and are installed correctly.

We've been running Tera Flex spacers on our 2 Rubis for a while now. The tires are 34 inch Maxxis Bighorn.

They've taken a very good beating and not a single issue.

We highly recommend them.

 

I've had mine on with my OEM 18" wheels for about 20k miles and they have never needed re-torquing. I put them on with 100 lbs of torque using Locktite. I get my wheels rotated every 3k miles and make sure that an air wrench is not used. I now have over 50k on my Jk.

 

Man, Thanks again. I think you have helped me to male up my mind.

Rock on

 

i had them on a tacoma and they caused servere wheel vibration...i would not reccomend them to anyone.

 

Well I can't speak for every state but I know wheel spacers in WA are illegal. Might want to check with your local highway patrol before spending the money. My 2 cents...

 

Ohio's lawless if it rolls down the road its legal here.

 

That's why you don't have any job security. Got to have laws in order to justify having cops.

 

 

I have had spidertrax spacers on mine with stock wheels for about 1000 miles now, no problems. The Jeep handles much much better with the spacers than it did stock.

The exit ramp near my house has a curve in it. With the OME lift and no spacers, It was very uncomfortable. With the spacers, it feels more like a sports car compared to what it did without the spacers.

Widening the stance helps a lot. I prefer the look of the stock wheel. I am not a fan of the aftermarket wheels, except AEV...just my opinion.

I would go with new wheels if you prefer aftermarket, but the spacers work great for those that like the stock look.

Oh, and my my Jeep service rep recommended the spidertrax wheel spacers and said it would do nothing to void the warranty. We will see how that works out.
