Spacers are the worst thing you can do, always better to run more negative offset, there are so many horror stories of driveline/spacer failure, not to mention completely illegal (over here anyway)
Yep. I believe your correct!!

Was just in Sequoia where someone had braking issues at camp. He took off his hummer wheels from his 80. 6" aluminum spacers?!?!?!
No thanks.
Most thicker spacers (anything 1" and bigger for sure) have their own studs. The spacer mounts with lugnuts to the hub, and the wheel then mounts to the spacer with lugnuts using the spacer's integrated studs.
I gotta disagree.this is one of these things argued to death. With Correct installation, they cause no more stress than an offset wheel. It's no different than aluminium wheels, they have to be checked until the torque is set and the wheels become seated.

Agreed but it's surprising how often these are not re-torqued. Shockingly often.
The vibration wasn't that bad and I did the proper re-torque but any little wobble scares the sh!t out of me. I don't think that little bit of extra track width is worth the risk.
Been running on 1.5" Spidertrax spacers for over 2 years. Up to 130mph. Never an issue, never a loose bolt. Put them on with red loctite, checked them early and again when I rotate tires and never an issue.
Gave the roof a bath of White PlastiDip
Looks great as you did it. But I wonder if you considered the entire A pillar too?
I'm thinking of doing this too but have not decided how low the white should go yet.

I will be going white on my roof. Hadn't thought about the PlastiDip. I didn't have very good luck with it on my front valance when I did my grill and around my headlights...
I don't get it. I twerk almost everyday.
I thought the same thing. Wanted to stay with a classic line. Took 5 cans, should have been 6. Very simple, but the plastidip wanted to stick to the masking tape. I cut 4 thin strips of aluminum tape to clean up the edges near the a pillar and the rear section near the hatch.
Initially, I had no intention of doing it. I took the rack off to see if I had rust. Thankfully, all was good.
Thanks, doing the lift shortly and tires soon thereafter. Debating on sticking with the 16's vs 17's. My tire of choice (255/85/16) seems to be on the endangered species list.
