Anyone have spacers on stock 17" wheels??

PPiekarski · Jan 19, 2013

Im installing my RRO lift soon and am thinking about getting some spacers, I still have the stock 17" rims with stock tires for now.

Anyone have pics with stock rims and 1.5" spacers or so??

You will need to modify that spot in the wheel well, even if you have stock tires.

LOL, I hope your joking.

Why would I start rubbing if I just extended out my stock wheels?

aroundincircles · Jan 19, 2013

it changed the geometry, and it rubs. I have bigger tires and it rubs terrible. but from what I understand even stock tires will rub.

Do you have your spacers already? I would fit them and see if it rubs before you work on the lift...

I dont have spacers yet but will intall the lift first than look around for spacers

Extending the wheel off the hub increases the arc distance that the wheel travels when the steering wheel is turned from lock to lock. The spacer increases the radius of the arc.

O, guess I'll look into it...

Thanks guys

Anyone with spacers and pics? Might not be worth it

I have 1.25" spacers and 235/65/17 and have no rub. 100% sure. Aroundincircles has 245/65/17 with 1.5" spacers.

Are you planning on installing the kit yourself? I'd be willing to lend a hand. It was really quite easy...

My friend has a heated garage and im doing it there, where are you from anyways?

Yes, thank you for the pics! This is exactly what I was needing to see. My wheels/tires have been looking funny to me lately, ever since I noticed how sunken in they were. I think about it every time I see and H3 drive by too:
