Has anyone run spacers with the Moabs? If so, did it change any contact/ rubbing points?

First question...Why do you want to run Moabs and spidertrax both to begin with? :? But running an 8 inch wheel with the backspacing that Moabs have and then another 1.25 inches of spacer would bring the edge of the wheel way out past the fender, then if you flex at all I would assume its going to hit big time.

I was just curious....Good point. I guess that is the reason it inevver has been done. (at least by someone that actually wheels their rig)

I was curious because since I've had the Moabs on, I have alot more rubbing issues than I had when I had the same size tires on my stock Renegade wheels.

Describe your rubbing issues, front or rear?

You have alot more rubbing since switching to the MOAB's from the fact that the MOAB's have 5" BS(and are 8" wide) and the OEM rims have 5.5" BS(only 7" wide),so adding a spacer will decrease the BS even more and cause alot more rubbing.
