Never said they were "evil," moderator. Just unwise.

Obviously with ties that do not measure up (or in this case- out), your mileage may vary. These ties rubbed.

My 295/70/17 Trail Grapplers rubbed on stock Moabs before I had spacers. 1.5" SpiderTrax and I was good to go. I have had them on for 35K miles without issue. Check the torque every 6K when I rotate tires and have not had an issue.
Even with the spacer it still rubbed the airdam, so off it came. Now no issues!

You could run 255/80/17s as well......they only come in a KM2 so that may be a no go, but they appear to be a tall 33 and the same width of the 255/75/17s. These will be my next tires....

I've got a friend who just bought an 07 4Dr with 285's on stock Moab wheels, I drove it, and it rubs at full lock- you can see the marks (lack of paint) on the sway bar. Sorry, but you can't tell me what I felt and saw.

X2 on this. I suppose the spacer safety argument will be never ending. I just know my, as well as many others experience with them has been nothing but positive. One thing I will say though, is that there probably is more potential to issues with a spacer over a wheel with the correct backspacing due to the potential of improper installation and maintenance.

U are supposed to use thread lock then torque to spec and leave them be.
Just saying
