1.5” Wheel spacers

Will 1.5” wheel spacers work with factory steel wheels?

I had used 1.5 inch spacers with factory Rubicon wheels. However, the factory alloy wheels have a relief in the casting where the lug extends beyond the spacer face. I wouldn’t think the steel wheel has the relief where the lug extends beyond the spacer face.

no it wont. unless you cut your stock studs. stock studs are 2in I believe.

Correct. I put 1.5" spacers on my wife's JLU Willys because we both loved the look of the wheels but after I lifted it the 37s were rubbing on the LCAs. There was probably less than half an inch sticking out, but it was still sticking out. On a steel wheel that would definitely be a problem.

I see this is an older thread, but I have the same question with a follow up. If the answer is 'no', then what is thick enough? (1.75"?)

I have factory steel rims on this 2022 Gladiator Sport. What is the minimum thickness spacer allowed with factory steel rims? What did you get JeffreyDV?

I used the 1.75” spacers. I have had no issues with them.

Thank you.

I have 1.75 spacers... Pretty sure as other said that 1.5 spacer is too short. You'll need to cut oem lug bolts or get new shorter lug bolts

1.75" is thick enough that you won't have to grind/ cut your studs. I have 1.75" on mine (but not oem wheels).

Thank you all for your replies. I ended up installing Synergy 1.75" (5x5) spacers. Worked perfectly and no need to trim the wheel lugs.

I run 1.5” wheel spacers with stock BASE Mojave wheels and DID NOT cut the studs. I got them for the 255/85R17 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/Ts, because I like NARROW, but wanted some “poke.”
