For what its worth, I experienced zero difference in ride quality. The only concern I found was increased stress on ball joints if your scrub radius gets too big. However, personally I'm using stock wheels and checked scrub radius before and after and change was minimal. I have a friend with a large offset wheel that has much more potential for escalated wear.
haven’t been off-road with mine but can’t see them being a problem as long as they’re torqued appropriately and maintained at intervals just like anything else.
No vibration on mine so far. Discount didn’t report any problems balancing my setup.
I'm putting my order for my BORA 1.25" spacers but wanted to check with you first since you went this route. I've run spacers in all my Jeeps for over 15 years and am very familiar with the pockets behind the stock wheels allowing for thinner spacers with the stock studs recessing into the pockets. My question is whether or not the pockets in the stock Rubicon wheels are tapered or straight. If they are tapered, did you measure the depth of the pocket to the point at which the stock stud would touch the tapered wall of the pocket?They are custom built per order so no official part number, however they fit just fine with no trimming of stud length-there is plenty of space in the stock Rubi wheel 'pockets' for the small amount of stud that extendes from the spacer. Mine are 1 1/4" and as the picture I have included shows, the studs will clear easily-it looks like 1 1/8" would have also fit. The image shows the depth of the Rubi wheel pockets and amount of clearance between the studs and the base of the pockets. Hope this helps!
