Ebay Wheel Spacers
Keeping my stock rims, want to add 1.25 in spacers.
See anything wrong with these?

I run 1.5 spacers off of eBay and I've had no problems. Some people say "if you're gonna do it do it right and spend the money" but in my opinion if you can verify the material they are made of then a brand name makes no difference. Look up the Spidertrax ones and see what material they use be it or steel or what specific grade of aluminum. If the eBay spacers are made of the same material then save the money and go eBay.
All that being said, I am not rough on my rig. I only have a 2 inch boost and don't wheel the snot out of it, I just dabble off road lol. If you're gonna be hard on it then you should invest in some Cragars for only a bit more money (steel constructed wheels with proper backspacing for bigger tires).

There's alot of opinions out there about how safe they may or may not be and driving habits are always a factor. I chose to put a set on the rear of my XJ about 4yrs ago now with no issues. I do have a couple tips though... make sure they're torqued to recommended specs, use loctite and periodically re-check especially before long trips or after. Just my .02

Spacers I may end up getting as not a lot of choice, unless someone can recommend a Uk seller.

I'm running 2" ones on mine with the stock Mustang wheels, haven't had a single issue with them. Ran some 1" ones on the front of my Dakota when I put the Doetsch lift on it to clear the new UCAs till I got my new wheels. Like said recheck them every time the wheels are off and use red locktite or stronger (like the yellow crap Government Motors uses on their brake caliper brackets) and you'll be just fine with them.
