Default XJ with Spacers

I'm looking for a pic of an XJ, stock height or not, with wheel spacers. I'm looking into getting some spacers and want to see it would look like.

The wheels stick out more according to the thickness of the spacer.

That's all.

Put your jeep on jack stands at ride height, undo wheels and move them out a inch and a half. That will show you

Wear out your unit bearings and ball joints a tiny bit faster

Any death wobble you have will be increased. I have offset rims and they wobble way more than the stock rims.

They're another thing to check during maintenance. Have to remember to remove your rims and check torque on the OTHER set of lug nuts.
