You'll want a set of 1-3/8" spacers like the kind Spidertrax makes. 1-1/4" spacers will not clear your factory wheel studs.

1.25 will push you out to a 5" back spaced wheel and 1.5 will push you out to a 4.75 backspaced wheel.

Not true about the 1-1/4" WOL, Mine cleared them without issues. I would have to agree with anything less though.

Are you sure they are clearing 100%? Because, it is possible that they are installed but not 100% on. Granted, my information is based on what I was seeing early on as well as what companies like Spidertrax has been making for the JK. I suppose Jeep could have changed things since the early days but if they did, I am not aware of it.

Default Can't go wrong with Spidertrax!!!

Spidertrax have been great and I've run them for about 11 months with no problems. They are high quality and I have wheeled pretty hard with them on.

Yeah, I'm sure. They were on there crazy tight too. I had to put a cheater bar on the end of my crowbar in order to get them off. I did wonder if they changed or modded my stock bolts but when I took them off they were perfect. So yeah, they work.
