Ok so was searching around and found a guy selling brand new still sealed in the box set of 1.25" SpiderTrax wheel spacers for 50 bucks! everything is all there gonna put them on later tonight, I couldnt pass it up. Just thought id share this with you

 

Here's a pic

 

Forgive me for my ignorance, but what is the point of wheel spacers? Thanks

 

Creates backspacing with out having to change rims also gives more of a wider stance for those who wants the tires to stick out more

 

nice find! lets see some install pics...

 

You know spacers are not for off road use right ?my buddy had a set and they Waller out and will give you speed wabbles

 

Great find! You sir did get a great deal!

Taken from Spidertrax site. . .

"Spidertrax has been providing the off-road market with quality wheel spacers since 1999. With our vehicle specific designs, aluminum anodizing for critical corrosion resistance, and our unmatched competition tested no risk money back guarantee, it's easy to see why Spidertrax Wheel Spacers are the #1 choice among four-wheelers. All Spidertrax Wheel Spacer Kits come complete with 2 6061T6 anodized aluminum wheel spacers, pre-installed wheel studs, lugnuts, and Loctite. Proudly manufactured in the United States of America."

Highlighted a few key things for ya there. Not sure what was going on with your "buddy's" spacers but I know quite a few guys who run them and compete/ beat on their vehicles monthly. Never with a problem one. Now after wheeling or a competition, during cleaning or repairs they will check to make sure things are still tight.

Nice find OP!

 

Ill post some before and after tomorrow, and as far as saying there not for offroad use it says "for off road use" right on the box, spidertrax in my opinion is the best manufacture of wheelspacers out there. Getting speed wobble from spacers? All they do is add backspacing, so ur saying u get speed wobble from to rims that provide more backspacing too?

 

Thanks, lookin forward to seeing the pics

 

i got exactly the same ones on my '97. they do very well i think. the extra weight did cause a minor mpg drop, but it wasn't even 1mpg.
