Default Question about wheel spacers.

I bought some spidertrax wheel spacers the other day. They only came in a set of two. Im assuming I would want to put them on the front instead of the back...Would I need to buy another set for the back tires?

What have you guys done with spacers?

Not knowing what your set up is in terms of tire size, lift etc. I would say to order another set. I have them front and rear on my JK. I think it would look funny to have one axle offset and looking substantially wider than the other. Maybe a fine look for a prerunner pickup or racing four wheeler.
Other than looks I don't think it would affect handling as long as they are mounted correctly. That being said I've never heard or seen anyone just install 2. If someone has hopefully they will chime in.

You need 4 dude. Front and back, easy to install thou. Just follow the instructions. Had mine on for 70,000 km.

If it won't affect anything on the jeep, Ill just put two on now...as i have the time at the moment. Ill just order the other two and put them on at a later date. (as long as it won't damage anything only having two on the front.)

I'm not positive of that. See if someone else chimes in first. To me...yeah as long as they are on the same axle, both front or both rear, other than one being wider than the other it shouldn't create a problem. See if anyone else chimes in on it to be sure. My vote would be to get the other two then install them

I have them only on the rear axle. Needed for lift clearance. They aren't really that noticeable in the pics or on the trail.
