I'm thinking about adding 1.25" wheel spacers on my liberty with ome lift and 245-70R16. Anybody is running those. Any rubbing? Also, the goal of adding the spacers is to add some stability, especially with my set of winter wheels (225-75R16). I would like to hear your experience with wheel spacers.

I have had the German Hoffman spacers (60mm per axle) on for over a year now, and they do add to stability. There is some rubbing, but only on full lock, and I've only heard it on the left side, not the right.

I'm running 2" wheel spacers all the way around. I had some rubbing on the bottom piece of plastic on my bumper, so I trimmed it off. It only made noise in reverse, with the wheels turned but it scared my wife. Bumper looks better without that plastic lip anyway. Keep in mind, I am running a 2.5" lift with 225 75 16 Mickey Thompsons.

Stability was GREATLY improved, now I just need to work on wet pavement traction. LOL

Spider Trax 1.25" spacers, Stock Renegade rims (BS 5.5), OME Lift, ARB Front Bumper, Pinch Weld pounded back, 245-75-R16 BF Goodrich TA/KO.........

No Rubbing, improved stability. However if I had it all to do over again I wouldn't buy the spacers, instead put that money towards new rims with 4"-4.5" BS.
