Default What wheel spacer?

What wheel spacer should I use, I have a 2011 2dr and I have the 16 inch steel wheels. Not enough cash to get new rims on top of the lift and tires. What is the best/cheapest way to go?

i have always run spidertrax spacers over the last 10 years on various jeeps and never had any problems with them. i would recommend getting 1.5" spacers too.

FWIW, whatever you get, make sure they have grade 8 bolts and made out of 6061T6 Aluminum.
Spidertracks fit this perfectly.
FWIW, Northridge carries them.
Check the For Sale section. There is always someone looking to sell some.
Hope this helps.

I also run spydertrax on both my jeeps.

I paid about $100/pair.

That works out to $50 per wheel. You can get rims for about $100/wheel. For a couple hundred extra, you could get the rims you'd like (you are running steel rims currently from what I read).

Just a thought...
