Spacers work great. I just retired mine last week. I ran stock wheels and spidertrax spacers (1.75) for about 30k miles without issue.Stock Rubi wheels with Teraflex 1.75" wheel spacers if you want to still use the oem wheel. Tires are Eldorado Extreme Mud Claw 37/12.5-17.

No rubbing and full travel? Looks great37x12.5x17 Mickey Thomsonās on Teraflex Nomad Split spoke at -12 offset and 4.25ā of back spacing. Perfect in my opinion.

I thought I wanted beadlocks for a bit, but didnāt want the weight.Soon as the funds allow. I want some Raceline bead locks.
Same poke as when I had spacers, but the wheels have only been on for a week. Definitely no run at full steering lock. I donāt expect any issues. Iāll know for sure next week though. Hitting some trails. Iāll report back. I did my research though, and the measurements match what I had with the previous wheel setup.No rubbing and full travel? Looks great
Keep me posted I think thatās what I am after-12 or 0 and 4.75 and if I have to I will change out the lower control armsSame poke as when I had spacers, but the wheels have only been on for a week.

Will do. I already have Teraflex adjustable control arms all around, so Iām not worried about those. Stock control arms have been gone for a long time. The question will just be fender liner, but I doubt it, since they didnāt rub before and theyāre really close to the same as far as poke is concerned.Keep me posted I think thatās what I am after-12 or 0 and 4.75 and if I have to I will change out the lower control arms
Are those a set and forget deflator then?Teraflex Nomad Split.......I think theyre a 4.5 inch back space.....They stick out just a little. I love the auto deflator on these. Less than 5 minutes and Im at 12ish psi from 40 on all tires. 37 inch patagonias. The pic below is before I put on the 2 inch lift.

You can set the deflater to 9-20 psi, i believe. Mine are set to 10, but I have it timed where I typically end up around 12ish psi on each tire when I close the deflater. It takes me the time to walk around the truck twice plus a little to get the pressure where I want them. Its fast. Heres a video that describes them fully. The video is the standard nomad, but its the same procedure as mine.Are those a set and forget deflator then?
I might have to look at those.
Great wheels. I just got mine recently. Youāre running 37ās at 40psi?! Iām guessing youāre going to wear out the meddle of your tread pretty quickly. Have you asked Mike star what they recommend? My 37x12.5 Mickey Thomsonās are recommended to be run at 27psi on a gladiator.Teraflex Nomad Split.......I think theyre a 4.5 inch back space.....They stick out just a little.

I know the patagonias are crowned naturally. I like the ride better on 40, I notice a difference in handling and mpg @40 vs going low 30s. I don't notice much difference in traction between low 30s and 40. So people can tell me Im wrong, and theres probably reasons I am. But I like the way it rides where I have it, and I have my reasons for it.Great wheels. I just got mine recently. Youāre running 37ās at 40psi?!

I canāt disagree that it probably handles better. I can tell a major difference between 27 and 30psi on mine. But I canāt justify the tires failing in 20k miles at around $2,500 mounted.I know the patagonias are crowned naturally.
