Update on 0.75 inch wheel spacers with 265 65 17 tires! I have them on and they fit and they DO rub the fender liner but it's not quite enough to justify a pinch weld. If you have 265 65 17 or 245 65 17 (of course) or 245 70 17 you should be fine. However ...if you have 255 75 17 (32s) or if you have 265 70 17 you probably WILL have to do the pinch weld mod ... But if you have those tire sizes, You probably already did that anyway... So I would say that for any of the MFC "approved" sizes , If you followed their guidance, Then you will probably be okay with 0.75 inch wheel spacers. RRO has them . I did have some vibrations at 70 mph but when I took all the wheels off and re torqued the spacers after 50 miles (as recommended) I had no more issues ! They just needed to "break in" .

Thank you

Hi CG11,I'm enjoying your vids as I'm picking up a 16 eco green TH over the weekend. What would you say are the pro's and con's of the wheel spacers. It looks damn great but is road noise alot worse or the chance of damaging your tire bits protruding?

I see this video is four years old. I love the way your KL looks. I’m thinking about getting a set. I was wondering if you still owned this Jeep and how the spacers have held up. Have you had any issues? Is it necessary to check the torque on the bolts that hold the spacers to the hub on every tire rotation? Thanks, Bill

thanks for the information. I may definitely get spacers from that company but I am not a DIY-er so I may have to pay someone to do this, I think since I am thinking of painting the wheels black they will re-balance them and hopefully install the spacers too. We will see. As far as down the future, I want to get into serious off roading so I want to lift the vehicle at least 1.5 inches and install new 32" tires (255/70/17). I've seen guys do this with their KLs but I am still apprehensive about tinkering with the geometry and suspension since I hear that being of independent type suspension, it's not as easy as it seems, unlike the solid axle Wranglers. Any thoughts?
