RE: Re: RE: Beans or no beans in Chilli?
I was going to say it will get you in trouble in PA, from what others here have told me, but I see you already have the bigger flares, so you won't be sticking out. Isn't it in NJ that they don't allow wheel spacers? Thought I read that in the "Failed Inspection" thread awhile back. Once you get the spacers on, check the lugs for tightness every 25-30 miles for the first 100, then each 50-60 miles for the next 500 or so. I've heard horror stories of them working loose with spacers. I personally think it will make your TJ look better having a little wider stance, and as Junkpile pointed out, it will definitely add some stability. One thing I can't stand on a Jeep is a narrow wheelbase, or at least having the wheelbase look narrower than the body. Mine looks perfect with my wheels and tires now.....not that I'm prejudiced or anything, I've just got the best looking Jeep in the world.

Nothing wrong with running 'em, they put the same amount of increased leverage on your axles and bearings as do using rims with less backspacing.
They're a great idea if you like the rims you have, but sometimes it's cheaper to buy new wheels with less backspacing. Wheel spacers can be expensive.
