295/70/18's installed - should I install the 1.25 spidertrax spacers I have?

Hi everyone! I just had a 3.5 in lift kit installed along with 295/70/18's. I had them installed on the stock rims which I believe have +60 offset. I have 1.25 spidertrax spacers on hand.

With your expert opinions, should I install the spacers? Is this too close for comfort? Anyone with experience?


Appreciate your help in advance!

 

Some do run spacers with the stock +60 offset wheels. Put one on the front and turn the wheel to full lock and see if you have any rubbing. Check it at the body mount, skid plate, and front wheel well liner.

 

Thanks for the advice! I didn't have any rubbing, but didn't feel comfortable with that space. I went ahead and installed the spacers. Got the clearance but then started rubbing on the mud guards. I went ahead and removed those.

 

If you have about a finger's width room between tire and UCA, you likely won't have an issue. If that was my truck, I would run no spacers for a bit and see if there is any UCA rubbing with suspension flex, doubt there would be. Seen lots of trucks with UCA clearance like that with no issues.

 

You are fine.

 

I ran spacers with 295/70R18 for quite some time. Much more clearance with the UCA and frankly looks better. I did rub a slight bit on the rear mud guard but only on reverse full turn.

As always, was never enough and moved up to 305s.

 

Nice! Thanks for sharing. I added the 1.25 spacers. Def looks better. Re-torqued after 60 miles, everything checked out.
