Default spacers with stock tires???
I have a '11 rubi with stock mud terrain tires, but I like the aggressive look when the tires stick out a bit. I'm not mechanically inclined and had never heard of spacers till I joined this forum. Does anyone use spacers with stock tires?? Any advice would be appreciated!

I run spacers with stock tires for awhile. No down fall other that rocks chiped the paint off of my rear door hinges on my JKU shouldn't be a problem with a 2dr didn't see which one you have.

most of us use the Spidertrax spacers they are strong than the wheel we mount them on. $160 on spidertrax.com for set of 4 shipped.

Spidertrax on stock wheels/tires was my first mod.

I ran spidertrax on mine with stockers until I got new tires and it does make it look better with the wider stance. Still do with the new tires because I am using the stock wheels.

Go to spidertrax website and look in the outlet for 2 sets of blemished spacers. They are cheaper there and still have the same warranty. I bought them and have been very happy. You can't really see them anyway.

I don't use them now, but I have in the past. I'm all for them.
