Do people just use wheel spacers just because? Just to give it a wider stance. Is this good or bad?

 

With stock wheels it allows for wider tires without rubbing

 

I've got 35x12.5's and yes, I added them just to widen the stance.

Without:


With 1.5" wheel spacers

 

i have 2 inch spacers on stock tires and wheels

 

yes wider stance, and allows use of factory wheels with large tires and no rubbing on sway links etc. I've been using 1.5" spacers for almost 3 yrs now. Running OE wheels with 35's, spacers are a must to keep from rubbing especially if you still want full clean flex. All in all, an aftermarket rim with 4.5" +- backspacing would be safer. Spacers are working great for me IMO ofcourse........

 

I just took mine off, done with em.

 

imo, one step closer to death wobble. I've also heard of people snapping lugs when offroading. I decided not to go with them after some google searches. But again, i dont have first hand experience. If you do, there are a few brands that are better than others. Either way, just be sure to research it.

 

I've had mine on for 4 years. Not one issue. Reason I got them was to keep bigger tires from rubbing. Ultimately I'll be buying new wheels with the proper backspacing but for now I have more important things to spend money on.

 

Just put mine on last week, I'm running 35/1250 Trail Grapplers and it would have been a tight squeeze without the wheel spacers. Makes it look a little more aggressive also, I love em

 

Just make sure you put Loc-tite on them when installing. Ran them for 3 yrs with no probs.
