wheel spacers

im thinking about getting spydertrax 1.25 wheel spacers. i have a 4.5 inch lift w/ 32's and i want a wider look. does anyone know anything bout these? good or bad?

I've been running them for 2+ years and have never had a problem with them, other than having one more thing to have to take off to get to the brakes or axles.

I have them with rubicon 5" BS wheels and they work great. I wouldnt even consider them for use with a more standard 3.75" BS wheel as there is too much side load on the hub bearings. I met someone this last weekend that had the same spacers with canyon wheels and had a few problems with them. After he removed the spacers and went with the same overall BS had no more issues. I didnt really understand exactly the problem but it was something to do with them not centering perfectly and breaking lug studs on the freeway.

alright cool, thanks for those tips. a buddy of mine said widening the tires out might put too much pressure on the axle and damage something. i wanted some other opinions bc i really want them and i think there fine to put on or else they wouldn't make them. keep the replies comin so i can get some more ideas.

What wheels are you running? If you're running stock wheels, most are backspaced at about 5.25" I believe, so the 1.25" spacers would put you at about 4", which IMO would be perfect. If you're running some wheels with less backspacing already, I wouldn't do it.

Yup, stockies are 5.25" BS. I've got my 32s on 15x7 rims with 4" BS and they're a great combo...should still fit nicely when I go to 33x10.50s as well.

i have 32x10.50 mud terrains, but i wanna eventually go w/ 33x12.5. my rims are 15x10
