Default Wheel Adapters for JK wheels

Hi looking over wheel adapters. Found Rough Country sells a pair for $70. These adapters are hub centric.
Curious if anybody currently using these adapters? Any problems rechecking torque?

I had them. They seem to be fine. I used thread lock when I installed them. No issues staying torqued.

The Key is hub centric and proper torque. I ran adapters on my old xj for years and never had any issues.

I have 1.25" hub centric spacers on my '98 and have 2008 Grand Cherokee 17" wheels. I think the GC wheels have 1/4" less offset than the JK wheels. With the GC wheels and the 1.25" spacers the track is returned to stock. I use the Jeep mostly offroad with the front sway bar disconnected and no rear sway bar.

I have had zero problems. I have a JK wheel for my spare. I think my 255/75R17 (32") tire will rub on the stock fender flare if I tried to offroad with the JK wheels on the front. It should be fine with the sway bar connected.
