Hey everyone, I am wanting to run some aftermarket wheels and there are not very many that run the proper offset, has anyone ever run wheel spacers to compensate for that? Open to any advice!
thanks!
thanks!

I have both and have had the bolt on ones come loose good for a trail rig but suck on the street( you gota pull the wheel off to ck lug torq) ... the over the lug kind need extended thread lug nuts on alum wheel to get a good thread bite but I have run-em like that for years on my DD
I run the small 1/4" to 3/8" ones on the front. Would rather not , but needed to keep my aftermarket wheels from rubbing slightly.
Wheel spacers are like steering arm studs, theres usually only a problem when they aren't tight. When I ran 1 1/2" spacers, I would check my steering arm studs and spacer lugs every couple of weeks of daily driving and before every wheeling trip.
The main reason guys break arm studs is because they have not kept them torqued. Same goes for wheel spacers. They tend to break when they are not torqued.
Bottom line, keep an eye on them (like the rest of the rig) and they are fine. Like stated above, Idon't like a spacer any bigger than 2" though.
