    Wheel Spacers?

    My 33x12.5x15 tires on my TJ rub my front sway bars pretty bad on turns when disconnected. It seems that adding wheel spacers might help solve my problem. I've read negative reviews on different forums about wheel spacers. Anyone have any experience with spacers? Any feed back would be appreciated.

    I have run them in the past in the with no problems. I would not buy the super cheap ones though. Use loctite for sure. I only when up to 1.5"

    Wheel Spacers?

    I've got 27k miles on mine now and I haven't had a single problem with mine. Definitely use locktite.

    Wheel Spacers?

    yeah, I've heard mixed reviews as well.. but I think most of the bad ones were off the cheapo spacers... buy a good brand, use locktite, and make sure you check them often (like every 3k miles for tire rotation)... and I'm sure the wider they are, the more issues they could cause, so I would try to buy the smallest ones necessary... or the other option would be to try to find wheels with a better offset..
