Default 2" wheel spacers?......

Hello:

I am wondering if 2" wheel spacers will be too much for stock wheels and tires, what I mean is, will they stick out pass the fenders too much?. I can get a great deal on a set but would like opinions. My jk is stock with the 17" wheel
Thanks.

Gonzzo.

Most people go with 1.5 inch spacer. Idk if 2 inch would be too much. My guess is it would be fine

Wow!, those pictures really bring things to light. Looks like that 1/2" MIGHT give me some issues but, I can't pass this deal up. Ill put them on and check, if anything, ill have a machine shop shave them down if possible. Thanks all.
