they only come in 3.5 i dont this its that. the problem is the area in the center is to wide.. i think they used the wrong blank wheel to drill a 5 x 5 pattern .. it says 8 lug on the inside..?? but it has been drill a 5 x 5 . i never heard of anyone else having problems.

ok finially got ahold of someone from kmc the makers of the spyderlock and they forgot to mill down the inside to the correct size when they drilled them atleast they are sending me new ones but that means more waiting ....

they sent three sets , the first set the pad on the back wasnt milled down enough to fit a 5 lug .. it would fit a 8 lug... second set they sent 17 inch instead of 18 " then the third set was correct alittle bit of hassle getting them mounted.. but worked that out. they are on and im happy ! i did get a extra set of beadlock rings out of the deal.. they are at the powder coaters right now . so in the end everything worked out .. just took awhile ..

Is it that rear stinger/ carrier that looks like it is hugging the spare and rear of your jeep? If so, I hate you. Post photos with it on!!!
