dasbulliwagen Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Who has the best wheel adapters/ spacers to adapt a set of JK wheels to my MJ? I know spidertrax has a good name, but I think I would have to spend the same amount on spacers as what the JK wheels/tires cost me. I know hub centric is better too, is there any out there that is all that and a good price? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirteatr717 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Any brand that's aluminum(which most should be) and anodized should be fine. Don't want the spacers oxidating to your rotors and drums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no, NO! SpiderTrax spacers are machined out of billet aluminum. They are as strong as alloy wheels, or stronger. Cheap spacers may be cast, and they don't hold up. If you choose to run spacers, keep in mind that the spacers will be the ONLY thing between your vehicle and the wheels. If a spacer fails on the highway, you will definitely have a very bad day. This is NOT the place to cheap out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbulliwagen Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 Ok, maybe I should have worded my question better. Looking around I'm finding billet aluminum, anodized , hub centric spacers from Spidertrax, Synergy, and G2. I know these are what I need. Who would have the best price for these? I guess thats mostly what I want to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incommando Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Morris 4x4 had the cheapest prices on spacers that I could find but that was 2 years ago. I got Alloy USA for $89/pair then. Less than $200 to do all for corners but sometimes adapters are more $$$ than spacers. If you got a great buy on JK tires and rims I think you now know why. The market for them is just not there. JK steelies don't sell at all and often wind up scrapped around here. 90% of the factory tires are not very desirable either. The S/T, SR/A and Dueller A/T's that are spec'd for the JK are street tires. I frequently see CL ads where someone is trying to sell his 1,000 mile stock tires and wheels from a JK for $800-$1,000 just because hey, they are new! And I paid $1700 for the aftermarket stuff!

dasbulliwagen Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 The ones I got are new 2013 takeoffs, the standard 5 spoke aluminums in 17 inch with Goodyears on them around 32 inches tall. I know the taller tire is going to kill any power I may have had with my 2.5. But I do have 4:10 gearing, and past research told me that the speedo gear from my AX4 from the 3:55 gears will read near perfect MPH with 32 inch tires and 4:10 gears.... that I assume will make it feel like I have the 3:55 gears again and make 5th gear all but unusable. I guess I could live with that. The BFG All terrains on my current wheels are all but done right now. Theres still a little tread left, but the dry rot is starting to worry me. For $200 the new wheel and tire combo will be fine. If not, I will sell the Jk's and re install another set of 235's I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drase Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I got the Spidertrax and love them. High quality and worth every penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
