Wheel spacers?

[Redbone]

Anybody ever use wheel spacers in the 1.5" size?

I think mine may be 1.5"
maybe 2"
either way as long as they are hub centric and not stud centric
they will work fine

I will say this
IMO on a KJ they will hurt more than they will help

OE wheel has 5.5" BS
-1.5 = 4" which will put you rubbing all over
and 2" will be worse

Buzz kill! Seems like you throw cold water on every cheap idea I get. :freak3:

All seriousness aside, THANKS. I was just a couple of keys from pushing the order button. I would like the stance but I don't want any rubbing.

Our KJ has 1.25 inch thick Spider Trax spacers and only rubs when the steering wheel is at lock when backing up.
Other than backing up...
No issues!

You're saying you have some rubbing even with 3.75" lift?

Yup!

But very minimal.

I'm still at stock height. Sounds like spacers would rub really bad.

Are there any pics available of KJs with spacers?

Ryan, where are you rubbing? Have you done your pinch welds?

How would a 1.5" wheel spacer be different than running a wheel with 4" of BS? Seems some lifted jeepers on here are running Cragar Soft 8s (16x7" with 4" BS.)

I know more dumb questions......they will end sooner or laterp:

thx Ryan. Its good to actually see what the results would look like.

On the fog lamp door mostly.
I haven't done the pinch welds yet.
