I realize that wheel spacers aren't universally loved on this Forum; however, many seem to use them without any problems. The thing is, I'd like to keep my JKUR wheels and just get some bigger tires (right now, DT 315/70R17 are my faves), along with a 2.5" coil lift (most likely TeraFlex.)
I actually happen to like the new Rubi wheels, but also realize that their backspacing is crap for wider tires. Unfortunately, my preferred tire vendor (Discount Tire Co.) has told me that they won't work on Jeeps with wheel spacers (due to "safety concerns"), so I might have to come up with another solution. Even if I just install 1.5" spacers and order the tires for home delivery, I can't mount and balance them on the stock rims myself.
So, long story short, how have those of you with wheel spacers managed this issue? Should I just look for another tire shop that's less concerned about liability? Would appreciate any input; thanks in advance! :thumb:
