I have a 2009 4 door Sahara. I am putting 275/70R18 on my stock wheels. What size spacers would be best?

I used 1.5" Spider's, but I installed Rubi 255/75/17's. Gave a nicer stance.

That's a 33x10 tire? There are differences in actual tire size bettwen mfg's, so it is possible that you won't need spacers, or maybe an extra washer on the steer stops would work.

If you do need to move the tires out, look at any of the 1.50" SpiderTrax type spacers that use two sets of bolts. (if you go with 1.25" ones that Teraflex makes, be sure you check the fitment and trim the bolts if needed!!!) Try and stay away from the thin spacers that sandwich between.

If you do some research you can probably do new rims for about the same cost and spice up the rig.

I put the same size tires on my JKU Sahara. 1.5" Spidertrax wheel spacers worked perfectly, gave a great stance too.
