Just ordered the Dick Cepek DC2 wheels for my 08 Sahara. They only come with one size backset and are 1" wider than stock. I currently have wheel spacers with stock rims on the jeep now. Does anyone know weather I'll be able to take the spacers off and still have the same look and stance with the new wheels? I was told that the new wheels will actually stick out a little more or be the same as the stock rims with spacers. Anyone??

DC2 wheels
I guess I'll answer my own question since I just got the wheels installed. We removed the spacers and the new wheels do stick out further than the stock wheels with the spacers. They look awesome. Changed the whole look of the jeep!:thumb:

Sorry, but I don't think anyone could have answered your question with no more information than you posted. I'm glad it worked out the way you wanted.

Fuel consumption
The down side of the upgrade was that I went from 18 mpg to 16 with the new wheels. I had the same tires on the stock 8" rims and put those tires on the new 9" dc2's and lost 2 mph.
