Question Stock Spacers?

I have a 2008 2 Dr and the last time i took my tires off i noticed what could possibly be wheel spacers. So i requested a build sheet from jeep.com and there is no such spacer listed. I bought it from a dealer and i was sure that dealers wouldnt just add spacers. So my question is...do JK's just come with spacers? Or did the dealer add them? I ask because i wanted to give my jeep a slightly wider, tougher stance and was shocked to already find a spacer. Anyone else?

Nope, they don't come with spacers. Take a picture and post them up.

Im waiting on a picture from my roommate. Im overseas now, buying new mods for my jeep and this issue dawned on me. Glad to know at least that they are not stock. Recomendations for good reliable spacers? In case the small ones on there are not a good quality.

They must have been on there when the dealer got it. I would tell your roommate to re torque the spacers so they don't fall off

I didnt think that picture would be useful being so far away. Cant believe i didnt pay attention to that. Would have taken a new picture but im deployed! Which is turning into mod heaven when i return. Thanks for confirming that, im a little new to upgrades.
