Yeah I want to do away with the spacers completly, I had one losen up and my rear tire fall off going like 25 mphs, just trying to see if anyones running stock flares with that wide of tire with them sticking out as little as possible with out rubbing horribly, how much backspacing I would need and opinions on what style/ where I should order them. I'm buying a long arm upgrade and doing away with those rims and spacers for christmas

 

Sorry I only saw one reply, I'm alright with them sticking out a little but right now they are a lot... like 2.5 to 3 inches. I can't ditch the spacers, rims are different bolt pattern than the hubs.

 

Spacers arent the worst thing as long as you take care of them

 

Like babies

 

Even better, sell the adaptors and the wheels and spend the extra dough on some quality wheels :P

 

lol whats the point of them then? i mean if its on ur rig and u expect ot hit trails with it then its most likely gonna break.... I agree with the rest that u should replace them with lower maintenance better quality wheels.

 

Exactly what I was thinking, just trying to get the back spacing and rim width down. Id like to have them stick out as little as possible, my front fenders are trimmed and I remounted the stock flares, I'm just tired of the spacers coming lose and getting pulled over because my tires stick out to far so if I can get rid of the spacers and bring my tires in a bit great. I don't know how much bs my current rims have but the spacers look like 1.25"

 

Nothing a tape measure and a straight piece of something can't fix. I'm running 31x10.5 on stock wheels (5 1/2 bs I think?) They're just barely under flush with the fenders. Bigger tires need less backspacing to clear control arms and such. Especially if you run a wider tire. Check Google images for different bs and tire width combos and I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for.

 

1984-1986 Cherokees had them

 

probably are people make a big deal about it its actually not that much wider in some cases

 

You can build some WIDE axles.

I prefer slightly wider than stock. With the Waggy 44 I have I basically had to get a low BS wheel to get the width I wanted.

 

So I'm gonna buy 33x12.5r15 Goodyear wrangler mt/r kevlars and then cragar soft 8's. I was planning on getting 15x8, would it be better if I got 15x10? Or will it be that much a difference?

 

15x8 is fine

 

Who else is runnin this?

 

A bunch of people
