I see a lot of options on this so though I would ask those who have them . I a basically trying to sort out if the Spidertrax are worth the extra $ 100 or so . My wife will be driving the Jeep as well so if the quality is a little better who cares about $100 in the long run as our long term wheel choice is 17” AEV Pintlers . I picked up 5 AEV Bridgers for $325 so will run those until the stock 16” tires wear out. The wife is starting to have an opinion on Jeep stuff and our wheel taste is almost identical. Lol.
Best wheel adapter for JK wheels?

I personally would pay for a name brand, just because of the consequences of failure. I’d hate to trust my life to a hunk of chinesium.
The biggest thing to look for see hub centric spacers. Most ones designed to work with the TJs are hub centric as far as I can tell.

I have been running Titan wheel adapters for about 4 years now. I had someone try to steal my wheels and only got a couple of lug nuts off my rear one before finding the locking lug nut. I obviously did not know that the lug nuts were loose/missing and drove home. The lug with the locking nut was the only one holding on and it finally broke off. I just knew it was the spacer giving out. But after inspection, saw that the spacer had not had any damage and it was just the lug bolt that broke off. I pressed 5 new lug bolts in the adapter and am still running it.

I use those, @Mike_H uses them, and a number of others do as well. The price is right, and they are CNC (not cast). Never had any issues with mine, and I don't know of anyone who has had issues with theirs either.

Thanks for the input guys . I definitely would do machined not cast . I just need to make sure they are good as I need to run them on the thinner 1.25 “ side because the AEV wheels have such a positive offset like the OEM wheels . Looks like only quarter of an inch different. I was looking at these as well .

Mine have been no drama, so this is what counts to me. Nice Bridgers. I have Pintler's... Obviously we share similar taste in wheels!
Sorry to bring this back from the dead.. But did you guys need to cut or replace the factory studs?

I got them on Amazon. I checked for a link for you, but they are currently unavailable.
My adapters are 1.25" thick. The tires are 285's.
This is what I bought:
For the '17/'18 Rubicon wheels I put on the red LJ. No rubbing — they work great.
Spidertrax S2PWHS013 Wheel Adapter Kit

If you're talking about the hub studs sticking out past the spacers, some factory wheels have a void on the back side (between the holes) that the studs can protrude into without a problem. I run 1" spacers with no stud length issues.
Just picked myself up a TJ Sport and have a friend selling some JL Rubicon wheels. If I use the Spidertrax Adapterkit will they fit like yours or do you have some kind of lift on your LJ?
Red is bone stock (minus the wheels and seat covers). No rub from the larger wheels/tires on this one with everyday driving. I do not know how it would be trying to wheel, however.
