Default Wheel spacers required?

I understand the need for spacers in the front if your running stock wheels with bigger tires but are they necessary in the back?

Yes, Get all four.

Here 5 on 5 x 1.5" Offset

Id reccomend an antiseize grease (spark plug grease) when applying to face of hub.

Some lifts you need them in the rear as well. And do not anti seize to any part of the wheel spacers. I have been running wheel spacers for 63,000 miles and no problems. Spidertrax are the best.

I had to have them for the rear when I lifted my Jeep so I did all four. The wheels were rubbing the rear swaybar links. Someday I will get proper backspaced wheels and ditch the spacers.
