Default Wheel spacers?

I'm wondering wether or not wheel spacers are a good idea. I don't do a heck of a lot of offroading, but I don't know how much of a weak point they can be. Any insight?

Default Re: Wheel spacers?

for off roading "spidertracks" YES! (centric spacers)


these work well for daily driving, off-roading NO!
non-centric, they do not have wheel centering hub

Hmmm... Looked at the Spidertrax website and they don't have "Ranger specific" ones. I never know how to tell if things like that will fit anyways.

These are the spidertrax ones you need 5 on 4.5... http://www.spidertrax.com/1987-06-Wr...002-Up-Liberty

I just put them on my truck around christmas and love them so far.

Nooooooooo!!! I put spacers on mine and it wiped out my front end!!!! Took spacers off 2 months after purchasing them and in that time I had to change..... Inner and outer tie rod ends lower ball joints upper control arms and both hubs.....i would not recommend these at all

Unless you get the max camber kit to supplement
