Default Spacers?

Does anyone have spidertrax spacers with stock Rubicon wheels? I am debating if I should do that until I need new tires. Then I was going to go with 35x15, and a regear. My friend says it would make my wheels look better.

Yes running them myself on stockers. I bought 1.5" for mine for around $100 used. Follow directions and re-torque and you will be fine. I post some pics of before and after.

I'm running 2" aluminum spacers with Stock MOAB wheels.
eBay $140 free shipping. SpiderTrax is too pricey for such a simple machined chunk of aluminum.
6061 billet grade aluminum and grade-8 bolts and studs. Torque with thread lock. No problem.

I found a set of Rugged Ridge 1 1/2" from a friend that got new wheels. They are concentric like the Spider Trax, so they center the wheel properly. He ask for $100. I will put them on as soon as it stops raining. Thank for the help, and pictures.

I have the spidertrax spacers with stock wheels and 37/12.50 BFG km2's. Been running these for just about a year with a couple of washers in the steering stops without any problems. I figured it would be good to get some use out of these stock wheels until I get my new beadlocks
