Default Anyone having problems running wheel spacers with stock wheels and 35's????

I like the look of the stock Rubi wheels and I'm thinking of getting a set painted for my jeep and mount a set of 35's to them. But I wasn't sure if there are people having problems with running wheels spacers with them, like coming lose,breaking etc....... So if anybody has any advice here I'd love to hear it. Thanks

I ran 35's on stock wheels with 1.5" spidertrax spacers for about a year and 15k miles with no issues. Only reason I switched out to aftermarket wheels is to get black wheels. I re-torqued the lugs on the spacers every rotation and used loctite on the spacer lugs.

Start browsing the other 1000 wheel spacer threads and you will see that nobody is having issues with them. (with the exception of the few people who heard it from someone whose cousins brothers father-in-law saw a picture of... but who actually have zero first hand experience with them...)
Just be sure to get the 1.25-1.5" ones that have two sets of bolts and not the thin ones that sandwich between the rim and hub.
