Wheel spacers w/o longer wheel studs

[jeeptorino68]

What is the thickest wheel spacer I can run without longer wheel studs? I have 255/70/16 general at2 on the stock wheels, they barely rub the arms on the front suspension so I'm looking for more space. 1/4 inch?

I would never recommend those 1/8th and 1/4 inch spacers at all without doing longer studs which is a pain. Plus a lot of those thinner ones are made very cheap and do crack when torqued down.
Others may have a different view but coming from a tire and auto service background I don't think they are a good option

X2 on what Tom said.


Skip spacers and get the correct back spaced wheels and be done with it the correct way.

bummer.
was looking at some of the machined spacers anyways, not the cast.
sorry in the wrong sub forum too

I run 1.25" spacers on the KJ, and 2" ones on my Dodge cummins truck. They do the job.

However, I regularly take my wheels off for rotations and brake checks.... so they get checked regularly for proper torque.
