i was thinking about getting wheel spacers when i get my lift so it sits wider. I was wondering what a good size was. I was thinking about 1.5 but i have no clue how that would look. And i could also get 2 inches but i don't know if that will be too wide. Any advise would be appreciated and if you maybe have wheel spacers on your xj, a picture would be nice.

Thanks, Erik

 

I did the wheel spacers too, @ 1.5". It actually isn't that dramatic of an effect but it looks better than it did before. The part that I like most is a fresh set of lugnuts and thread surfaces for the hub. Nonetheless, it seems to ride and corner better but I could be imagining things.

 

no that makes sence, wider base should make it be able to take turns at higher speed with out feeling like its gonna roll.

 

so two inches shouldnt look too bad, what size tires do you have

 

For the road I'm running 235.75.15. Spacers make those wheels and tires a little bigger. MTR's go on for the trail @33x10.5x15. I wouldn't go above 2" spacers with anything less than 30" tires, might start to look weird.

 

well i have 31x 10.5 so i think i might go 2 inches

 

I put 1.25" spacers on mine to clear my rear springs. I have 33-12.50-15's. Didnt want them to stick out to far

 

These are $10 at JCW, puts them out 5/16 farther, but I would'nt recommend them if you're going off roading

 

iv been lookin at them also and they all seem to be around 100 bucks is that about the cheapest im gonna get them?

 

ive seen 50 dollars on ebay

 

does anyone know any pros/cons to wheel spacers?

 

make sure you crank em down and use locktite. periodically take the wheels off and check the torque on the spacers. you dont want your wheel coming off at 65+ mph
