Ok in a bit of a pickle, I have a 98 cherokee with around 8.5 inches of lift with 35s want a little more tire poke do to the cut out bush wacker fender flares the pervious owner put on.. Hate how the ties are currently flush with them. Should I just order wheel spacers for around 200 or order new wheels for around the same price? I currently have 8" soft 8's wanna go with a 10 inch wheel with less back spacing but don't know how much? Any ideas or pics of some other setups? My wheels now are like brand new so I was thinking just do the spacers?? Thanks for any help

 

Honestly, I'd go with new rims. Less things to have problems with (even though I have spacers, I like having a really wide stance).

Here's a popular rim with 3.75" BS and 10" wide.

how wide are your tires?
mine stick out a couple of inches past my bushwackers. i have 13.5 wide tires on 10 inch beadlock rim with 3.0 inch backspacing.
that's the reason why my bushwackers haven't broke on me yet. they don't touch the rocks or trees. my tires protect them.
i haven't had a problem with the local authorities either.

but they have recently been removed.

 

piggybacking off what he said, I've had spacers for over a year, and I like them with my stock rims. But if your willing to get new rims, go for the new rims. Spacers take a lot of maintenance for the first couple hundred miles where as new rims won't.

 

Maintenance? I haven't done any mantenance to mine! Just replacement.

 

that may be why your studs broke when you impacted them. you need to keep tightening them over about 500 miles to insure they stay tight, or use locktite.

 

Running a 35 12.50 mtr for now

 

Thanks everyone new wheels it is!!!!
