If so....someone will get a great deal on ATX slabs.

Here is a pic of mine when I still had 33s on factory wheels w Tera flex 1.25 inch spacers. They fit inside the flares. My from tire was turned a bit but the only pic I could find showing them from straight on. Click image for larger version

Did you have any problems with the spacers? I read a lot of reviews saying the lug nuts have a tendency to come loose.

Ran them on 2 jeeps. No problems. Didn't use loc tite either. Torque them down yourself. Don't trust the torque sticks from the tire shop. My tire shop does free rotate and balance. In the beginning I would bring my torque wrench and check the spacers when they had my wheels off. Never had one loose nut on any of the spacers.

255/80/R17 KM2 mud, so called "pizza cutter" tires, will fit on your rims without lift. They add height and are an E-rated tire, so are very tough.
They work well in the desert out here in California.

I went with River Raider's. They're located outside of Chambersburg, PA. I drove there to get them and saved $195.00 shipping. You can get in 2" & 4" over factory. I thought the 4" would just look silly. They're sitting in my garage....hopefully I'll get them on this weekend. Poison Spyder is supposed to come out with a wide version of theirs soon. Was told 3" over factory. I waited as long as I could but needed to get something. They would have been my first choice.

Come on out west. As long as you don't go west of NV, it's encouraged to mod out your Jeep. Heck, the shops out here try to sell you bigger things

I am also in West Virginia. Most shops don't even look at the tires sticking out. Last shop I went to the guy said yep you passed come on in and the girl that was helping said wait the tires stick out past the fenders and the shop owner told her to shut up and write up a sticker lol. You just have to know where to take it.
