I was looking into getting a complete set of the 1.25" wheel spacers that spidertrax has on their site. They're kinda pricey at $89.99 US :cry:
But before I buy them either on their site or if I find them cheaper somewhere else, I was wondering if anyone has heard or knows anything about these!! I have 2" revtek level kit with stock suspension right now. 245/75/16 goodyear territorys. I just want the wheels to be more than flush with the fenders so they stick out a bit and add a more aggressive look to the KK. Thanks! :D

This is a fairly common topic with a lot of discussion here and on jeepforum. That said, IMO, rims with the offset closer to 0" is a better choice. They look better and are safer. Its also been mentioned that wheel spacer aren't legal for street use in some states.
Rockrawler steel "D Window" rims, 15"x7" w/3.75 BS are about $50.00. That's what I'm running when I get new tires. :2cents:

Alright, that sounds better like you said cause if I got the wheel spacers, I'd drop $400 on them, plus $400 on rims.. and I don't have that kind of money if I'm going be running into problems with that set up. I was looking at those wheels before, but I found something I personally like better that I actually saw on another KK on Google images.

These are the ones I like and am hopefully getting after new years..

- Pro Comp Xtreme Rock Crawler Series 152 Black Wheels 16x8 with 4.250 backspacing. They're only $126.99 on summit racing which isn't that bad.

Stay with 7 inch wide
less rubbing, less headaches and there is no tire that you can run that needs an 8 inch wide wheel
7 inch wide and 4 inch back spacing sits the tire right at the edge of the flare anyways

Alright, I'll stick the 7 thanks! But by sitting right at the edge, do you mean flush with the flares? Cause I'm looking at having them stick out just a little to add that more of a aggressive look. I'm not an extreme 4-wheeler, meaning I probably go once every couple weeks cause I literally am way too busy with work and my personal life, sadly... LOL :(

Lol okay I guess not :? I'm having troubles deciding on the finish though, should I go with matte or gloss black? I'm not really trying to match anything, just want black, period. What do most people go with?

Yeah I'm officially going with these. They're $184 on U.S Wheels, but I can get them for $140 a wheel on Summit Racing.

Plus 15 inch, :?: seems they are a hit or miss if they'll go over the calipers

I thought he was looking at 16"

the 15" are around $50. Procomp Rockrawler 15"x7"w3 3/4" backspace will fit. They all fit over the caliper, it's the lower ball joint bolt that gets in the way on some.
Summit Racing part no. PCW-52-5765 are the ones I'll be using.

No you're right ted15, I am looking at the 16's. For whatever reason the website just put it back to the default size when it linked you there. I chose the 16x7. Also, I was actually going to get those Pro Comp ones, my very first original decision but I came upon a black KK with similar wheels like the ones I linked with the beadlock around the wheel which I personally, really like. But like I said, by ordering them on Summit, I save at least $40 a wheel compared to the u.s wheel website.
