Default Wheel spacers.
Are wheel spacers good or they bad because I don't know if they would put more stress on the transmission or anything like that.

X4 On the spider track spacers about 55k just re torque them about every other tire rotation. and they don't cause any more stress than 4.5 of offset wheels do.

It depends on what lift and tire size you want to run. Normally you looking for a 4.5" backspace and if you have factory wheels they are 6. So you'll need 1.5" spacers

I have a set of non forum sponsor 1.25 spacers cost about 110 shipped for all 4. Running on my 12 with stock rubi rims and tires. 1.25 pushed the tires right to the edge of the flairs which is what I was looking for.
