1.5" wheel spacer pics

[Blackmer18]

Anyone running 1.5" Bora wheel spacers?? Pics appreciated. 22 Rebel, 18" factory wheels, ordering 295/70 STT pros, 2" Motofab level and RC UCAs. Interested in how far out 1.5" spacers with that tire will be from factory flares, again pics would be appreciated if anyone has them

I'm using KSP 1 1/2" spacers and I love them. They give just the right amount of an aggressive look without looking "brodozerish". But I'm the kind of person who likes to change things so when people look at it they know something is different but they can't really tell what it is.

Looks great, what size tires your running?

Brodozerish.

I agree. The stock offset is just a little too weak.

 

[Geddyflea]

Thanks! Those are just the stock Wranglers.

Gotcha. How many miles have you put on the spacers? Any issues with ball joints or any components going bad ?

I've leveled the front to within 1/2" using Bilstein 5100's which have been on there for about a year. The spacers have only been on for about a month (about 600 miles) so far I've had no problems.

Did you have to trim your factory lug nuts to allow the rim to seat flush?

No. Rebel wheels have a recess in the back that clear the lug nuts that hold the spacer to the hub. They fit with no clearance issues at all. When you buy your spacers make sure that they are hub-centric and use blue Loctite when you install them.

Brodozer......I hate throwin' around those dang ol technical terms LOL!

I agree with you 100% about the offset.

I upgraded my wheels this past week to the TRX wheels, but also kept the factory 275 series tires. I added the 1.5" spacer to see how it looks. I have the weathertech mud flaps and the spacers make the tires look uncentered. I may go with a 3/4" or 1", but I think 1.5" is too much with the 9" wheel. I haven't decided yet.

Keep the spacers and get rid of the mud flaps

Nah, that looks perfect. If you tuck those big tires into the wheel wells it will look weak.

If I said I paid $600 for the Ignition Edition wheels, would that upset you? I got a good deal from someone that wanted them out of the garage.
