Running 315s with 1.5" wheel spacers???? (1 Viewer)

[Fletcher34]

I bought Spydertrax 1.5" wheel spacers to make my tires (currently 265/75 on oem wheels) look even to the fender flares. In a week I'll be installing an OME 2.5 heavy/medium lift and running 315/75 on the factory rims. I know the 315 is approx. 2" wider than the 265s. How would 315s look on a 1.5" wheel spacer? Does anyone have any pics of this setup? I'm just wondering if the stance will be too wide?

Here's current look.

My 80 was on 315s and factory wheels when I bought it. It also had 1" wheel spacers and 4" lift. I liked the look and it had no interference problems when wheeling. I do not have any pix of that setup available.

More than look you need to think about how those bigger tires are going to suff in the fenders with 3"BS. You will need to increase your bump stops to a minimum of 1.5" front & rear. Also massage the fenders in the rear to prevent this. That damage was with 2.5" BS.
If you stay within the normal recommendation of 1" wheel spacers you will have less frustration with getting them to stuff. Those 1.5" wheel spacer will work for you, but will require more time of R&D.
One suggestion is when you take out the stock coils out then cycle your tire up in the fenders to see what is really going on in the fenderwell. Hope this helps.

That looks good with the spacers. Have you had any issues? What lift you running?

No issues with the spacers. These pics are older. I had OME J springs and 2" coil spacers in these pics. I am now running the 3" Slinky Stage 4 lift. MUCH better.

Awesome looking stance.
Do you remember what your bump stop spacing was or still is?

Fronts are stock. Rears are using the bumpstops that are part of the Slinky kit. 1" more than stock IIRC.
