To bad you sold your lift which you will need to run wheel spacers and not rub.

I've got some pictures. What view are you looking for? Spydertrax wheel spacers 1.25 inches.

From what I heard, Spydertrax are pretty much the only "supported" wheel spacers. I think they make the stock 16" wheels sit flush with the fenders.

Here are some pics with the spacers and STOCK height. Tires are stock and so are the rims. I have pictures with the lift installed and spacers if you want to see those, too. Also

If you want my opinion on them, I love them and the way they make the Jeep look. At the same time, I don't like actually knowing I have spacers on my wheels. When you're on a narrow road with oncoming traffic there is little room for error because your wheels are now flush with the fender pushing you closer to the edge of the road.

Musclez runs them on his KK, and I believe there are at least 3 other members with them, too.

I run them. No promblems even after 50k. But like everything else you must do maintenance on them and install the properly.

lifted pics would be awesome, but your stock height ones do help. Looks like spydertrax will work well for the small amount of rub i have.

What difference did you see in the handling after you installed the wheel spacers ?

Plastidip coming off your mirrors or just a funny reflection?

1.25 Spidertraxs installed.
It started to rain as I was finishing the front. Here's some pics with just the rears installed.

Tires are stock 235/70/16 and JBA 2.5"

Never understood the whole chrome hate. I always felt that it's your rig, and if you like chrome more, or chrome just goes with your color better then go chrome.

I think the hate for the chrome is a Jeep thing. A lot of car enthusiasts have hopped on the all black band wagon and I think it's pretty understood that too much chrome or too much black can look overdone and look horrible.

I can't stop shaking my head when I see someone with blacked out tail lights. Can you say safety hazard?

Did you guys feel any difference in handling after you added the wheel spacers ?

+1 on the idiots that black out lights. Yeah it looks kinda cool but not worth the 5-0 attention and the safety reduction.
