I am looking for recommendations on wheel spacers for my Gladiator. I just want to add a little width and more rugged look. Staying with the stock tires (245/75R17 H/T) for now. Any thoughts? TIA!

Go with the G2 1.75 spacers. Anything less then 1.75" will not work with your existing lugs and will need to be cut short to accommodate.
The spacers will give you some nice wheel poke. You might want to think of moving up to a 285/70/17 for next set of tires.
I am going on Monday to have a set of BFG KO2s install with G2 spacers. Will provide some photos.

I ran Spidertrax 1.5" spacers on my JK for a few years and never had a problem. First with the Sahara wheels it came with, then with some JLR wheels I found later. I read that you don't want to play around with the cheaper brands. I heard Spidertrax was one of the best, so that is what I got.
I can't comment on what thickness to get. With the Gladiators, you have to account for the wider axles on Rubicons and Max Tows.

Go with the best. Spidertrax 1.75". Spacers aren't something you want to compromise on especially given the price tag of our rigs.

Will wheel spacers have an effect on the bushings and shocks, alignment? I have the max tow pkg and would like to keep my overland wheel and tires and just like the tires to stick out a lil bit. I am not planning on lifting the G.
