Looking for rear-wheel spacers
I'm pretty sure I need 1.5'' spacers (totaling 3'' width) 6-lug . Looking for your comments, do they help, who makes good ones? I've read the reviews on off-road.com, just looking for a little more info.

I bet you want them for the rear axle that is 3" shorter than the front axle huh? Yeah, mine is narrower too, you could get two different wheels but then you can't rotate your tires.
I thought about getting spacers but I have just let it be.

I personally would not use spacers if the vehicle will actually be used off-road. 1.5" may not seem like a lot of additional stress on the lugs but over time they can and will cause problems.

You are better off with wider wheels or more off-set to achieve this.........
