If I were to remove the rotors on my 2002 TJ, install 2" lug centric spacers, and reinstall my rotor on to the spacer lugs, am I making a mistake? Is there anything I'm missing that would make this a BAAAD idea?

Sure, give it a shot, you won't have brakes but you'll look cool.Your brake hardware will not allow you to move the rotor out and have it function. Changing geometry is a bad idea in so many ways.

Aside from all of the snarky comments that will inevitably compromise the effectiveness of this forum, i appreciate the responses.

I'm just gonna pull it apart and verify. If what I believe is true, is in fact true, my spacers will leave enough space on the rotors for the calipers and pads to sit correctly on the rotors.

if it works, I plan to wish voodoo evil on all the unit-measuring members unwilling to help.


EDIT: If it doesn't work, I'll leave that info here for the next person who has the same curiosity.

It won't work.

Yeah you're clueless alright.

How about you lay off the shit posting on every thread you stumble across.

Oh and my way is heterosexual so... nice of you to announce to everyone you're proclivities for sausage gobbling.

Please share your thoughts on what actual problem this "solution" would actually solve.

The hope was by moving the rotor (and everything connected to it) would move stress and angular pressure out to stock dimensions while still spacing my wheels out.

The stress is relative the vertical axis between the upper and lower ball joints. Any shift of the tire outward does not change that stress increase on the ball joints regardless of where the rotor is.

Was posting this pic to prove that you are an actual human TJ owner and not a Chatgpt AI bot that’s been sent by @Chris to test the limits of this forum?

I think this post is ridiculous. We need to stop humoring this obvious joker. I may be a little slow on the uptake, but this is a joke, nobody is really this stupid.

Watch almost any "Just Rolled In" video on YouTube, and you will be inclined to retract that statement.
