Does anybody know or have any ideas on what brand or where to buy the best wheel spacers? Thanks in advance!

I've run several sets over the years and there's nothing to worry about.
Just keep up on maintance like with anything else.
Stay away from cheap knock offs.
Some say there not go to run but I think there fine and have held up to 35s.
Some states there not legal but honestly I don't know how you would get caught.

For what it cost for good spacers/adapters you can buy rims that fit.A set of 15 inch steel d window rims is cheap.

All they are....Band Aids to cover up a wound/flaw. Just buy a set of wheels from Summit or Jegs under $50 each and do it right the first time with the correct BS and wheel size for the tire.

But some of us do not, or will not run steel wheels..

Spacers are fine, run them if you don't plan on getting different wheels. Save up and buy the right backspaced wheels if you do want new ones.

I have aluminium offroad wheels with 3.25" backspacing and am considering spacers to widen my stance a bit. I don't mean to hijack, but this is on topic: Anyone see a problem with that?

Why such a wide stance? 3.25bs must make the 33s stick out a good amount already.

That is really going to stress your hub bearings. I would expect to be replacing them a whole lot more often than normal.

Not all aluminum rims are equal,Unless they are forged or billet aluminum they are cast,And off road your more likely to break a cast aluminum rim then a steel rim.Only way i would run aluminum rims off road is forged beadlocks.

^ That is why I have a set of five. I imagine terrain is the deciding factor, I do not have a rock or boulder within 200 miles. All sand or soft forest ground, and marsh.

Some of the wheels we carry are less $$ than a spacer -

But we do carry spacers, Spidertrax are one of the more popular -

Well I just finished installing my notch customs flares and I would like the stance to be a little wider... Like the maroon jeep in this picture. Mine is quite a bit more narrow, and I think a little wider looks a lot better plus I wouldn't mind a little added stability.

If you got the money most rim companies will custom make a rim in any backspacing you want.But once they make it to the specs you give its yours so make sure its right.The jeep in the picture look up a build on it see if it has 1 ton axles or not and what wheels they are running.

You can see it's a D30, so most likely just some big tires and wheels.
