JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Spidertrax can be had for about 196 bucks shipped from most places. They are 1.25 inch spacers and will work for your daily driver as well as hard core off road use. They are proven safe and effective!

Default Spacers

For my 07 Rubicon I went with 1 1/2" spidertrax. To run 35's I think you need the 1 1/2".

Yes.

You have to remember to think 3-dimensionally with tires. Cause not only are they taller, but essentially are also "wider" (not thickness) when you turn the wheel.

Dig?

So it needs that room to turn as well.. hence the spacer is needed to give it the extra space inside the wheel-well so it doesn't rub.

So what backspacing do I need so I don't have to use spacers??? It seems cheaper to just buy new wheels. $196 for the spacers and the risk of premature tire wear cuz the wheels aint wide enough. I will probably go 15's if I am buying new.

Default Wow

This thread has been all over the map. From whether or not it is okay to post pics of your wife to talking about the price of wheel spacers. Well I will try to get it back on track. However these are the stock alloy 16" rims that were an option on the 07's. They are also 1/2" narrower then the rubicon 17" moabs. But here you go.
