I've read plenty of info on whether wheel spacers are safe or not so I'm not looking for that kind of information. What I'm wondering is if it would be ok to run spacers on the rear and not up front. The shape of an xj makes the rear tires looked tucked in too far. I thought some hub-centric spacers for the rear would be an easy fix and might actually make it handle a little better on the road. Anyone have experience with this kind of setup?

When my now truggy MJ was on the road, I did this. It had the tendency to let the rear push a lil on the trail,, but on the road was fine. Expect to do your own alignments after that though.

i ran wheel spacers for over a year,, there fine, just make sure to re-tighten them after 7000-10000 km,

also i know they make a very cheap spacer,, which is garbage dont buy it, You want the one with studs on it
