Spacers

[kirkturk]

Sorry if this was asked before, I tried searching but couldn't get straight answer.
1.50" spacers on leveled Gladiator with stock rims, with 35X12.50 R17 tires. Has anyone run this set up? And is it safe to go lite off roading with this set up.
I have 35X12.50 on there now with stock rims, and full chock they rub a little.

Thank you.

If you’re referring to wheel spacers, yes you will be fine. My wife’s JLU has been on 1.5” spacers and 37s on stock wheels since the first month we bought it. Just buy quality parts, use loctite, and torque them down properly then forget about them.

I am running a similar setup. (35" tires, stock rims, 1.75" Synergy spacers, plus a 1.5" leveler kit up front). I do take this off-road occasionally.

Be advised that you may need to trim your lug studs with 1.5" spacers, if there is insufficient clearance/set back in the rims between the lug mounting holes. It's very important for the wheel to seat firmly on the spacer face, and not the existing lugs. Be sure to examine the mounting surface of the rims for clearance to see if any poke of the studs will be a problem.

Are they high quality spacers? Or are they the $cheapo.99 Chinese special off amazon?

Quality spacers are fine. Ran them on my JK for years (wheeling quite a bit).

My SS Camaro has had 1" spacers on it for the last 6+ years now as well.

Rest of the setup is fine. Be mindful of the rubbing so you don't damage the tires or body. If minor rubbing it shouldn't be an issue.
