Default AEV 2.5" lift

Hi guys

Will I need wheel spacer if using 18" Sahara alloys with an AEV 2.5" lift ?

Depends on tire size, but if you're going up to 33's or up, you'll need spacers or new wheels with less backspacing.

Mainly it depends on if you plan on going with wider tires.. Like 12.50's. You can keep your stock ones on with the lift and be fine.

I have that lift now and its awsome. You stock wheels are fine but its the tire width that can be a problem. I would run spacers if you go any wider than 11".
