Looking at my Jeep, it seems that the stance is somewhat narrow for the 37s and RK 3.5" lift. Thinking about running a 1.5" spacer.

I have Method Racing Double Standard Wheels with Mickey Thompson MTZs. and this is the info on the wheels.


SIZE: 17 x 8.5
OFFSET 0mm
BACKSPACE 4.75"
LOAD RATING 2500 lbs. - 3600 lbs.

Seems like a lot of Backspacing for a 8.5" wheel. Seems like it should be about 3" or so....any thoughts and havs anybody seen this done before? Below is a picture for the best view of what i am talking about...from a recent trip...but i have noticed it in the drive way already.

 

Your jeep does seem a bit tall. Spacers would make it look pretty mean. I say go for it.

 

This is a highly subjective question, but if you ask... --
To me, the tires stick out just fine. The Method, BTW, look great.
Spacers increase loads on the axles and reduce a bit of directional stability, which isn't glorious on a Jeep in the first place.
For myself, I'd rather avoid spacers, especially if they aren't needed.

 

I think it looks fine as it is.

 

If your not rubbing on anything I would leave it be. I think it looks great! If you have a rubbing issue then you need the spacers.
unless you just want a really wide stance.

 

i was having rubbing issues, but i adjusted my steering stop, which stopped than...just seems narrow for an 8.5" wheel

 

x2. I think it looks good.

 

I wouldn't add spacers only for looks. Looks good to me.

 

I have attached some additional pics....still any thoughts about needing spacers?
