wheel spacers
 
i just ordered a set of 1.5 inch wheel spacers for my cherokee and i nevr done them before are they hard to put on?

Dont u just remove the wheel, slide the spacers on and put the wheel back on. Thats the way I thought they worked but maybe not

jsport 08-30-2010 12:25 PM

I would love to have my tires stick out a lil farther too but I'm afraid to put spacers on, don't want to wear out my wheel bearings, and my ball joints, and basically my entire suspension system.

...and did I mention my tires?

ive always heard its hard on ur front end. just basically cause ur not tighting ur wheel down all the way theres a spacer there and it puts NOT ALOT. but puts some strain on ur lugs and what ever else.. ive seen/heard of guys breakin their wheel off the lugs because of them

I thought you could run a different off set rim and avoid most of those problems

yeah u can get a rims that have a different off set. or can get a wider wheel. i have 15x8 with 31.10.50 and mine stick out just the way i like. next set of tires i may just get 31.11.50 give me a little more.

Yeah i run 32x10.50s and i love the way it sits. Just enough to get it dirty but not too much to look stupid.
