Post subject:  wheel spacers

hi!
anyone know if it would be ok to put wheel spacers on the back axel only, or if this would adversely effect the kj's stability. i noted in the vehicle specs that the rear axel has a slightly norrower track than the front axel. the wheel spacers wold reverse this.
yours with thanks

Hmmm,

that's interesting.. how much of a difference is there...

Think I may go get my measuring tape.

shouldn't affect stability but it may look a little goofy. :wink:

I've got Spidertrax spacers on the rear only with stock rims. Don't look goofy. :D There's no problems with this setup.

I have SpiderTrax all the way around. But I did drive for a couple of weeks with just the back ones on. It looked fine.

2"spacers with 265/27. I think just the back would look good

just thought it might look 'cooler'. but i've decided the cash would be better going toward some chassis armour or rock sliders. the kj sits pretty as she is really & i've only 245/70/r16's anyway.
thanks for all the replies & pics
