With proper install and maintenance am I jeopardizing my Jeep with quality 1.5” hub centric spacers? It’s my wife’s daily driver and I might steal it for some light/medium trailing, cruise a few creeks when camping. I have no plans to rock crawl

Was there any rub without the spacers, or do you like the look of the tire beyond the well, so you went with the spacer?

A local reputable wheel shop pit the spacers on with the tires so I am uncertain if there would have been rub. I assume not though but I like the wide flared look.

I have ran spacers for years and they are perfectly safe. Just check the torque setting each time you rotate the tires.

I'm running the same size tires minus the spacers but seriously considering adding them to kick the factory wheels out a bit, so now that it's been a few months, how have they held up and do you still like them?

Did you add spacers yet? If yes, then what is the difference with and without? Which do you prefer? And maybe some pics of it before and after
