Re: Opinions on wheel spacers
I agree with Bill and Doug. Also, if you MUST use wheel spacers, never use
aluminum.

Re: Opinions on wheel spacers
What vehicle and axles are you running? As the above responses indicate,
spacers this size are frowned upon. My Jeep has the narrow track axles, so
I put two inch spacers each side for trail stability. IMHO it was a great
investment and improvement for my application. I only drive my Jeep about
2000 miles a year, most of which is trail or around town errands, so I
don't worry about the addition bearing wear they speak of. If you properly
torque all lug nuts, inside and out, there is no risk of a wheel falling
off.

Of course you replace your lug bolts regularly as in the disclaimer

Re: Opinions on wheel spacers
Thanks Group,
I am running stock 1997 Sahara Grizzly rims with BFG's AT 30 x 9.5 and I
wanted to add something to widen up the track. I Just bought the tires and
don't know that they would fit on wider rims. Hate to have to buy new tires
or wait till these wear out for the rims.
