I am building up my JKU Surf Blue Sahara little by little. I know I am going to need wheel spacers eventually to get the lift I want (2.5"-4", not sure yet) and 35" wheels. In the meantime though, I was thinking of putting Spidertrax wheel spacers on w/ stock 33" tires and no lift. What will the wheel spacers accomplish on a stock JK ? Will it have a more aggressive stance ? Will the wheels just poke out a bit ? Will it be completely useless and a waste of $200 until I get the lift and new tires ?
I'm a bit of a novice when it comes modifications, but I was hoping wheel spacers might give my stock JK a bit of a different look while I'm on the trail to its final transformation into the monster I have envisioned in my head.
Thanks in advance for your advice and opinions.

 

What model did you get that had 33s stock? I think the spacers make the jk look better cause it fills the wells up more I also think it makes it more stable due to adding 3 inches to the axle width. I think it made my stock rubicon look better when that was like my second mod.

 

I had them on my JK when I was still running stock wheels/tires and it definitely improved the look. I say go for it.

 

My bad...maybe they are 32's, I forget what size they are sometimes. Thanks guys for the encouragement...I really needed to hear that it would make a noticeable difference !

 

I just put the 1.5'' spidertraxs on my 4dr rubi tonight and i'm really pleased with the way it looks. I bought 4 off the classifieds on this forum, they're almost always on there but they go quick and you can usually save $50 bucks. and if you decide in the future you dont want or need them its not much of a loss

 

Thanks Snake, I'll check out that forum....I appreciate the heads up.

 

I put 1.5" spacers on my stock jk 4 door last week and I'm very happy with it. Now it doesn't look so dinky going down the road not to mention it helps a little in the corners.

 

Anyone got pictures of them on? wondering how much they stick out. Just bought 4 spidertrax spacers off craigslist for $75 and wanted to see before i install them. thanks

 

Both have 1.5 spidertrax spacers.

 

Is there anyway you can put up more pics of your JK? I have the same wheels and have plans on getting those same tires. Just want to see more pics of what the Mud Grapplers look like on the stock wheels. Have you been pleased with the spacers?
