Default Wheels and spacers.

I just bought 5 16" stock JK steel wheels and 4 Spidertrax 1.5 spacers for $160. The wheels had 600mi on them and 3000 on the spacers. Idk if that's a deal or not, but I'm putting the spacers on tomorrow. Any advice? I'll post pictures before and after. I didn't have much luck anywhere on the web looking for those.

I wish I could them new at over 50% off, but no. I bought them used and he threw away the vial.

Yeah i would always buy new especially with wheel spacers. Just be careful with install due to them being used. I got my set a check at a time. Love the way my jk handles now. I can go little faster around turns.

i don't know, i understand your concerns but, i've run used spacers and so long as they look to be in good condition and are installed properly, i think you would be fine. but, that's just me.

He got them used, so it's doubtful.
