That question is dependent on what you are trying to accomplish. Do you have rubbing issues with these tires? What offset are your 18 inch wheels since they are not the stock 17s? Most of us running spacers with stock wheels are between 1.25" and 1.75". If you’re using aftermarket wheels, you’ll need at least 1.75” spacers to clear the factory lug length.

The widest one out right now is 1.75" and personally I wouldn't go wider than that. We ran the Synergy ones for awhile with no problems and they are well made and reasonably priced. Educate yourself on running spacers and how to do the initial install and proper torquing.

You can get wider wheel spacers than 1.75" if you wanted to.. There are multiple companies that offers them. But what is the OP trying to accomplish?

I agree with you about not going wider than 1.75".

He could do this, I'm pretty sure this doesn't put any strain on any of the components.

Now that's funny!



.... However I have seen a few 4x4s around the area that have followed the "mega spacer" trend

Jeeps lots of jeeps
The reputable brands are only selling 1.75" spacers so that is pretty much your option.
