Spidertrax
I'm currently looking to use spidertrax 1.25" on my rig with a 3" lift and possibly 285/70r16. My questions are how well do the spidertrax hold up? And does anyone know if they are considered illegal in the state of pa. A few shops say yes and a few say no. Has anyone had any problems with passing inspection with using them?
Thanks guys.

I run them and have wheeled them hard at Rausch Creek. Also, ran them to Florida and back. No vibes. No issues. Follow the install instructions. USE THE LOCTITE THAT COMES WITH THEM.
As far as inspection, I've never read anything about it on hear or heard anyone mention it before but I'd wait for a PA resident to chime in.

I've just installed 1.25" Spidertrax on my T4R following the instructions (nut orientation, check after 50 miles, use locktite, clean surfaces etc..) and then drove 1100 miles round trip to SD and back with absolutely no issues. Can't complain! I hear most tire shops won't touch wheels that have them while some don't seem to mind (Tires Plus here in NE.) As for inspection, shouldn't be a problem and are hardly even noticeable since they don't stick out that much at all.

I've had mine on for 2 years now, 20Kish miles. Install and torque according to the instructions and you'll be fine.

If they make the tires stick out beyond the fenders/flares you're probably not going to pass PAs inspection. They're sticklers for tire coverage. I'm sure there's an official PA webpage somewhere that lists what works and what won't.

I ran them. But absolutely hated it. My inner fender cover got destroyed from the tires being out to far. And EVERYTIME I turned into a WAWA or gas station everyowoyld stair because it would rub the plastic lol. And you lose turning radius. So I ditched the front ones and only have them in the back. But they are good spacers.

Spacers push the wheel further away from the frame.
They can cause rubbing at the rear of the front fender well because they push the tire out.

I understand. But I know for a fact. That when turned all the way. It rubbed my frame more with spacers then without. It's my personal experience. That's all. I simply hated them in the front. But I need them in the rear so the tire doesn't rub against my external reservoir

The tire rubs your frame with a spacer, and doesn't without a spacer? That doesn't make any sense.
I understand what you're saying about the fender liner now.
