Re: wheel Spacers and their impact on handling?
Just ordered the Spidertrax spacers for our stock steel wheeled unlimited. Be interesting to see & fell the differences.
Time for the first tire rotation anyway...

Like others have said, as long as you check your torque you should have no issues what so ever. Mine has not loosened at all in the slightest. The second after I installed mine I went for a short drive and could feel a difference in handling right away.
The tires get pushed out just enough from under the flares to make the Jeep look more like a Jeep should.
My pic offer..

Had a set on my jeep that my buddy let me borrow when I got my wheels and they are great. He up sized his tires to 37's and needed them back so I went a got a set of my own. We actually just put them on today and then went out and took them for a test ride on a local mini-trail.
Here is a pic of both of the wide stances. Mine is the black JK the silver is BrowniesJK
You can see the spidertrax spacers on my Rockstars I hadn't put my center caps back on yet

Installed Rough Country 1.5" spacers last weekend. I couldn't tell much difference, but my DD is a supercrew f150 so it is totally different every time I drive it... My wife on the other hand drives it everyday and she claims she could tell a difference. One thing she noted was it seemed to be a rougher ride than before, mainly on roads where she recalls thinking how smoothed the Jeep was before.
I wish I could have put them on without her knowing so she wouldn't have been looking for a difference... That way I would know for sure if the ride changed. I've driven it a few times and didn't really notice it riding any difference.
