Wheel spacers...

I was skeptical on wheel spacers, and, if I had an unlimited budget, I honestly wouldn't if I didn't have to. But I currently run some spidertrax with no issues. I think if you run quality spacers and check on them periodically, you shouldn't have issues. But, it's just one more thing to check/fix/look at, so it adds some to the complexity equation over just having wheels with the desired backspacing.

Had Rugged Ridge spacers on my last Jeep. They did fine. I rotated tires about every 4k and torqued the spacers every time the tires were off. Didn't ever notice issues with them losing tightness, either.

BTW, they don't stress wheel bearings any more than changing to a wheel with the same amount of offset.
