Newbie Question: Wheel Spacers

[Steely]

Hey,
So if you search online, you find a lot of different wheel spacer options to widen the Gladiator stance. This is one of the only aspects of the truck that I feel could have been resolved at the factory.

I am running a Willys model with 32" tires. I would like them to extend out beyond the wheel wells to give a more aggressive look.

When I search "wheel spacers" on this forum, the only thing I find is the spacer levelling kit or 2" lifts that I will also likely add in the future.

What I want to know is what wheel spacers have anyone used to widen their stance, and are they satisfied with the effects, the drive, and the safety aspect of the spacers? I was running 1 1/2" in spacers on a Jeep Renegade, but that's a much lighter vehicle.

Thanks.

Lots of people use spacers. I have used them in the past, and installed some Spidertrax 1.75” spacers on a Wrangler 392 a couple of weeks ago. I’m comfortable with them as long as they are from a reputable manufacturer, are a reasonable width (1-5/8 or 1-3/4), and they are used with a stock offset wheel.
