WTB: 4 wheel spacers.

[CoPhil]

I'd like to buy 4 wheel spacers. I'd prefer the 1.25'' or 1.5'' ones and would like either Spidertrax or All Pro Offroad,

I've been meaning to make a post about spidertrax spacers on here. When I first started looking for them, they were selling for around $140 for a used set. Now it seems that every set I see on here are going between $170-$190. They're $200 new. So why are the guys in this forum buying used spacers at those prices? Not worth saving $30 over shipping new ones when you never know if they've been over torqued or abused off road. In my opinion, people need to stop buying used spaces at those prices. I know many will argue that they don't really get worn but unless they're priced much lower than what I've seen them going for lately, I'll buy new. Yes spidertrax gets backed up and sometimes there is a wait but still.... we need to get the supply and demand back under control here and drive the process back down on the forum. 90% return on used spacers is ridiculous.

I agree. i'm hoping to pick some up around $100-140. Anything more expensive i'll just end up buying new ones.

Call ask about production runs and when they're going to have the next batch complete. They always have blems, and sell them for $80 or $90 pair. That's how I got mine. They come in the same box with the same warranty, and stickers! Just be patient!

what size did you end up getting?
1.25" spidertrax?
or 1.5" other brand?
I really want 1.5"

I went with the 1.5" Spidertrax. I'm not sure how big of difference they'd look, but figured I might as well go for the biggest size.

i messaged spidertrax a while back about why they don't offer 1.5" in hubcentric. they couldn't guarantee their 1.5" would be ok with my wheels. what are you driving and what kind of wheels do you have?

I'm so glad you mentioned that. When I was buying them online I saw that the 1.25" were hub centric and stupidly figured the 1.5" were as well. I just got back from exchanging them for the 1.25" spacers. I asked the guys at 4 wheels parts why the 1.5" weren't hub centric and they had no idea, but they did say most of the guys who buy those are putting them on with cheap knock off rims. I have a 2006 v8 with the 18" limited wheels.

Just be careful when using the 1.5" that the tire doesn't hit the fender when stuffing.
