Wheel Spacer Comparison Photos

[FUseaKU]

Hi everyone, my apologies if this has already been asked, but I’m on my phone and as if the search feature wasn’t hard enough to use to begin with, it’s even harder on a mobile device.

I’m wanting to purchase a set of 4 wheels spacers for my ‘05 SR5, but I can’t figure out which size to buy. I was wondering if those of you who have 1.25”, 1.5”, and 2” wheel spacers, if you could post a photo of how it looks so I can compare and decide which size to get. I don’t want to buy anything that’s going to cause any rubbing issues either. I’m on the stock wheels with a set of General Grabber ATX’s (265-70-R17).

Any help and posted photos is much appreciated!

I don't know what a photo is going to show... you'd have to do some non destructive testing, and even bust a few to see which ones are better.

I got wheel adapters a few years ago for my friend's 3rd gen. During research I found a jeep forum post about a NASA employee who did some testing on a spidertrax adapter and a jeep wheel. The results were that the spacers were stronger than the wheel, and the wheel would in theory fail first.

Bought the spidertrax. Obviously had no issues (knock on wood*)

If guys with massive rigs can bash their junk off rocks with spidertrax adapters, it'll handle a little 32" tire like I was puttin' on.

Also, what you're looking for in that size range is an adapter, rings with their own sets of lugs. Spacers are the big washer with holes in it that go between the hub and wheel, retaining the use of only the original lugs.

Any schmuck in china can cut a wheel adapter out of aluminum... but they don't give a crap about the end user, just making the sale. If you bust up your junk runnin' their literal junk, they can't be sued.

The Spidertrax ain't cheap; for $350-400 more we could have just gotten different wheels but the extra cost was out of the question at the time.

Anyway, as far as I could find it's spidertrax or nothing if safety is your main concern.

Wouldn't you need extended studs if you got with as much as 1" or larger? I know they do have spacers that have built into studs, but that's probably up to 2".

Factory Trail wheels with 285/70s & 1.25" Spidertrax spacers. I had to remove the front mudflaps, trim the front bumper and do the fender-liner mod.
