Lifted my xj put 31s on it with stock wheels and they rub the lower controll arms are wheel spacers safe for every day or would new wheels with different back spacing be the way to go

Some new black steel wheels would actually be cheaper than quality spacers.

This is true. Plus you can sell your old wheels and make it even cheaper.

xjmarc

You can run "GOOD QUALITY" spacers but there is maintenance involved. Like stated above it would be cheaper to just buy new wheels and sell your old ones unless you really like the stock ones. If that's the case run spacers but use locktight and check torque often. They can and will work loose.

You could put a set of after market LCA's on and not worry about spacers. I don't think they should be much more money than spacers.

What are lcas

dirtyjerz

lower control arms.

scott simarro

Allready did the rocky off road lower controll arms still rubs

Bustedback

A set of WJ lower control arms may give you the needed clearance to keep from rubbing.

2 years on my 1.25" spacers with plenty of long 4+ drives in the meantime all with no issues.

I have 2" spacers and haven't had a problem. I just drove 8 hours on them and they're fine.

cleenrob

if your not beating the crap out of your rig on the trails then theyll be fine, i ran spacers for a while didnt have a single issue

jeepheep1

spacers are fine as long as they're hub centric and torqued. I'm also the guy who goes behind my work every 1,000 miles for regressing and tightening though... So I'm maintenance happy lol

SteveMongr

Good point! I second it.

Once you figure in the cost of 5 wheels + mounting and balancing vs the 2 spacers he needs for front wheel clearance, it isn't even close.
