i might pick up a set of black wrangler wheels for my cherokee, but when i lift i want the wheels to stick out a little bit, i'm not sure if im right but do "wheels spacers" make your wheels stick out? are these good?

That's what they do! I've been looking into these also. Here is some info.

Edit: notice there are some downsides to these.

I would just get rims with less backspacing.

ironhead64

Yup, that's probably a better choice.

for the price of wheel spacers you can get brand new steel rims with an offset. So I would sugest to go with rims. Iv read alot about people being against spacers, im not sure why tho.

Increased stress on the wheel bearings, spindles, knuckles, etc just like wider wheels or negative offset.

x2 You are moving the whole rim and tire out further from the wms, giving it greater leverage

they're not all that bad, as long as you keep inspecting them every so often.
i know a couple guys using them on their fronts to match the d30 to their full size 5 on 5.5 rear 44 or 9".

or even on the rear 8.8 to match the width of the d30.

offroadnut36

you know someone who has a fullsize 9" out back with a d30 up front?

i like the look of the rubicon wheels on my cherokee but i might just stick with soft 8's, for a cheaper price i can get brand new ones
