What are your thoughts about them?? I'm kinda leary about them personally but I see no other option for the rear of my XJ and placing Canyon rims on 31x10.50x15 wheels??

Any advise is helpful!

There's nothing wrong with quality spacers like Spidertrax and others. I used them for years without a problem, just install and torque them properly like any wheel.

I bought some 1" e-bay spacers and ran them for 3 years with no issues, even towed with them on. Its all about the install and re-checking the torque often.

Hallo.. great idea. I ran spacers in the rear without problems. 30mm width each. Also 31"- 10,5 -15 BFG Muds on them..
I do prefer the steel ones!

Well, I ordered 4-1 1/4" spacers for my XJ that are 5x144.3mm to be delivered from Quadratrac.
Thanks to all that gave info!

make sure you lubricate the threads of the studs, ive broken some due to galling, a result of foolishly installing them dry....
