Wheel spacer/adapter pics wanted

I want to widen the stance a bit and I'm trying to decide if I should go with 1.25" or 1.5" spacers. I have looked through all the old threads regarding spacers/adapters and there are very few pics of any use. Please post up pics that show how your wheels sit in relation to your fenders/flares. I have 285s on stock wheels, so ideally, I'd like to see some of that size wheel with adapters. I'm sure there are others who would find this useful as well. Thanks, Dan.

No one??? Help a brother out. It's a HUGE decision. 1.25" or 1.5"- there's a 1/4" difference here people.

Hi LCW,

Here is a link to an old thread of mine after I had my 80 built at Slee's a few years ago. Maybe some of the pics will help...but our equipment is kinda different.

IMO get 1.5" with 285's and 1.25" with 315's. I went 1.5" with my 315 Nittos, and it looks a little too wide to me. I also get a little rubbing on the bumper caps at full lock in only day to day driving. I really have noticed no difference in stability or ride quality. You can hear the tires more as they are now out of the wheel well a little bit. Stance looks better, just a little too wide for my taste.

Bad Azzz 80!

That is a VERY clean 80! great stance and look too!Unfortunately I have to sell my 60, which I had converted to coils with the Slee 6" lift, but came across an 80 that will get the lift and 37" toyos! good to see one exactly how high I want to be, with the tires too! Great job.
Let's see some wheel'in pics!

Not the best angles but 1" on the stock wheels are prefect for a wider stance that allows for the tires to stuff without rubbing.

not the best angles either...but

1) 1.5" spacer on AT 285's. stock alloys (pic from montana nate)

2) 1.5" spacer on MT 315's. stock alloys

id run the 1.5's esp for 285's. quarter inch wont make that much of a difference even if you go 315's.

So you guys with 1.5" spacers and stock wheels, any rubbing on the rear flares with 315s?

I will say that I think 37 13.50 with 1.50 inch spacer is too much. I rubbed before on my rear panhard mount and when turning rubbed my front control arms without spacers. With the spacers I rub the fender flares and would probably rub the fender if the flares weren't there. But its not enough to make we give up these tires. I love them. I was in about 2.5 feet of water there.

Well, I went with the 1.5" from All Pro Offroad. They were on sale for $138 for all four. I think the 1.5" is the way to go with 285s FWIW. Here are some before and after shots. Thanks for all the replies, Dan.
