Default 2" Hub Centric Wheel Spacers

Hey everyone, I've got a 2008 Sahara Unltd. I'm going to be installing a 2.5 Teraflex BB and am eventually upgrading to 35x12.50x18 tires on the factory 18's. I want to get some wheel spacers to throw on with the lift for balance and to prevent clearance issues when flexing. I think a 2" spacer is the way I want to go to compensate for the larger tires when I get them. How is that going to look with the factory Duelers for now and the bigger question is should I be using a spacer that has a "hub centric" design?

Talking

For a 12.5" section width tire, a 1.5" spacer is more than enough, and they are hub centric, etc...Dave at Northridge has them for example.

Good Choice.. That is what most folks get when keeping the stock wheels and adding bigger tires..

Don't go off-roading with 2" because you will damage your wheel bearings
Max. is 1.5"
