Do I need wheel spacers?

[gregc]

changed from 33x12.5 to 33x10.5/15. i have 4 inch susp lift. do i need spacers since i used stock rims.? does it make it ride better to use wheel spacer? or should i just leave it alone. just looking for suggestions. I attached photo from rear. might need stock flares again if suggestions are to leave alone.

I like the look of those tires. Not so much how far in they are compared to the fender flares but looking from any other angle or even from farther away I don't think I'd even notice. As it sits right now you will have considerably less mud, or whatever you drive in, thrown up onto the body.

Wheel spacers just push the wheels out. I don't think they effect the ride. Some are good, some can cause problems, someone with experience can help you to get the right ones if you decide they are needed.

Honestly if I couldn't handle the current look I'd get thinner flares because I think the skinny tires if pushed out may look worse.

thanks for the input. i agree with you after driving awhile yesterday and reading some more post on the topic. i like the way it handles. new flares will do the trick. looks like something else to put on my list of jeep accessories i need. alot of talk about wheel spacers just wasnt sure if they helped out ride or mainly for looks

those tires are general grabber x3. ride really well. not much noise for a mud tire
