Default wheel spacer question

was wondering if its okay to use some wheel spacers as my budget right now dont allow the whole new rims purchase............if it is ok, then how thick can you safely go? im using basically street tires for now, dont have any mudd tires yet. the tires are 30x9.5x15 i do play alot with the jeep, love the mudd and cant seem to stay out of it. 92 cherokee sport. thanks guys

most good spacers are the about the same cost as crager steel wheels so thats the route i would go. also your running a narrow tire no need for spacers

I agree ,,i'm running 2'' spidertrax spacers $200.00 for all 4 ,,,The rims i run where $42.00 each 15x8,,you can even go with a 10 to 12'' wide rim for an additional $10.00 each,,,i like the stance the spacers give my jeep,thats why i run um

You can basically look for most 15X8 steel wheels... a lot of them will be around $50/wheel which would equal the price of 4 wheel spacers.

3 inches of lift with street 30x9.50 R15 tires you absolutely don't need any spacers.

My guess is that he just wants a wider stance. He probably knows he doesn't need them.
