Just got my 3" lift done and ordered adjustable track bar and quicker disconnects from JKS offload. I want to keep my factory wheels but they make the stance look to narrow to my eye. My question is are all wheel spacers created equal? Will 1" or 1.25" spacers be enough?
If your using the stock size tires/rim combo don't use spacers, a good set ($200) will cost as much as a set of steel wheels $39 @. Then you can use a stock or larger tire like a 31x10:50x15" up to a 35x12:50x15" if you use a 15x8" wheel with 3.75-4" of BS.
Rock some quality spacers and you'll be fine Make sure they are hub centric and torque them to spec, check regularly..you won't die. I rock stock wheels too, with 35s

Something to think about are your stock rims you want to keep are they aluminum or steel ?A lot of factory rims are cast aluminum but for a few like the tj moabs are forged aluminum.Off road if you break a cast aluminum rim your kinda screwed if you don't have a spare and repairing that rim is hard.If you run a steel rim your more likely to bend it not bust it like a cast aluminum rim.And worse case steel rims are cheap you can replace it and not cry over the price.
