Hey guys, quick question. My 2023 Willys 4xe, running 1.5 inch spacers with center line rims with 35x12.5x20. no lift. All stock shocks suspension. Am I safe for this set up? Or should I take off the spacer.

I'm often occupied, by many things, often at the same time
I'm surprised you've lasted this long, long enough to post here. Other than your wheel/tire combo looking lame, there wouldn't be any "safety" related things you've posted.

Can't help you on the spacer question, but what are those wing-spoiler looking things coming off the roof in the back?

Well, you’re the one that should be telling us. Do you get any rubbing?

Personally, I’d take off the 1.5” wheel spacers. Your tires seem like they’d still stick out but not as absurdly as right now.

No rubbing so far

Aside from accelerated wear of front end components, if they’re quality spacers installed and maintained properly you should be “safe”

That said, I’ve personally always steered clear of spacers opting instead for the use of wheel offset to get desired stance.

If you like the look, there's nothing unsafe about your setup. The ball joints in particular will wear faster but that's not a safety issue. Where I live I'd likely be ticketed by a particular sheriff that has a hard on for tire poke but that's more of a local issue.

It looks like your wheels have enough backspacing/offset to that your spacers would not be needed, but not 100% sure. If you like the look with the tires sticking out that far you should leave them, but if you'd prefer not to throw rocks and mud on the side of the jeep as much, take them off and see if you rub. Something you can do in your driveway.

He's already got that covered with the wing. It's redirecting all the downforce onto the rear, protecting the front end components!

@Tredsdert is our resident high speed guinea pig. I wonder if he's experimenting with anything similar. ;)
