    So what do you guys think about wheel spacers on the front of a TJ with Eagle wheels?

    As long as they are high quality hub centric spacers, like spidertrax for example there shouldnt be a problem.

      Just on the front . . . Why wouldn't you put the spacers on all four???
      That which does not kill me postpones the inevitable.

        As mentioned above, get quality ones.... but... what's the reason for wheel spacers up front? Full size rear axle?

        Not sure what size rim you are looking at, but 15" Eagle rims usually come with something like 3.75 BS. It already puts your wheel further out compared to a factory setup.

              If not too much adjustment is needed, just add one or two washers to your steering stops. I had to do it to mine to stop the tires from rubbing on the SwayLoc.

                I had 1 washer. Will try two thick ones. But what about spacers for a wider track? Someone gave me a set of spidertrax spacers

                  No problem, those are quality spacers.

                    I've had ebay spacers on both my Jeeps and have never ahd a problem. All you get from spidertrax is a pretty color.

                      and the fact that their hub-centric, and the fact that they are made from 6061T6 aluminum, (anyone can say that there spacers are made of 6061 but how do you know its true?), and the fact that they have a very high reliability. Therefore if something goes wrong with them your dealing with an actual company vs. some guy on eBay...
