Default Newbie Question Regarding 15x8 and 1.5 wheel spacers
Sorry if this has been answered in advance, but I'm curious if 15x8 wheels would work with 1.5 spidertrax wheel spacers to avoid having to grind the calipers on an 08 JKU Sahara? Ive been eyeing a pair on ebay and initially have wanted to stay with my stock wheels but like the price point of the 15" tires compared to the 18".

Thanks again,

David

Depending on what wheel you get, a spacer/ grinding may not e required. What kind is it?

I am running 15x8 Level 8 trackers and they fit fine, no grinding or clearance issues at all. Look at what Discount Tire Direct has to offer, they have many wheels that will fit fine and they offer forum discount as well I believe.

Yeahup.

15x8's with 1.5" spacers fit fine.
So do 35's with 2" of lift and bumpstops.
