I have the 3 inch body lift and 2" coil springs in the front and 32x11.5 pathfinders. I get rubbing when I cut the wheel all the way to get out of a tight parking spot. No Biggie. Just don't let your wife drive.

well with the fabtech 3" lift for the 2wd they say you can fit 32's... i have a 2wd and im running 31's stock... so im guess that you should be ok... maybe a little bit of minor trimming but i really dont know much about trimming and all i try to avoid it if i can...

I am running the 3 inch fabtech and 3 inch body lift, but i have the stock rims on 31 inch bfg mudders. No rubbing at all, but one of our pals on this sight has the similar setup as mine, his name is TallQuad, but he's running 15x10 rims i believe. He had to trim the fenders a bit here and there. So if he has 6 inches of lift with trimming, it's probably be the same with ur 5 inch/32 tires.

Hey Chaximus, youre using the stock rims?? isnt the backspacing on the stock rims too much? like 5.5" when the kit calls for no more than 3.75" hows it working for you?

The kit calls for 3.75 or less...true..and my rims were 5.5 backspacing...nearly 6 inches...so i ordered a set of 2 inch wheel spacers....same as ordering a rim with custom BS. The fit fine. :)

I was wondering if wheel spacers would work for my 16" stock wheels. The tire and handling package has sweet wheels. Why waste em.

I haven't heard anyone else write about wheel spacers. Does anyone know if they add strain on the suspension or jack up the allignment?

I had wheel spacers for like 6 months so far, no problems at all. Mine at 2 inchers from AIM. I only use them because the kit requires it, and it's the same as getting a rim with backspacing of 3.75. I'm not sure about the strain on the suspension but i know over time, it will wear ur ball joints, so just gotta replace them later on.

this is a little bit off the subject but not really i just thought id put this is... with the 15x10 rims your going to want to be careful when lowering your air pressure for offroad... your going an inch wider on both sides from the middle with the tire but only a 1/2" bigger on the width of the tire from 31x10.5's with a wider rim and a not so wide tire it will be easy to pop the tire off the rim when your down to say 10 psi... i know alot of people dont air down there tires because they dont like it really helps that much specialy when they look at the tire and its not much flater... but i will tell you right now it WILL make a HUGE differance... there is an offroad hill around here i play at with 4x4s (i have a 2wd) and with my tires at 32psi i cant even make it up 1/4 of the way but with them aired down to 10 i can make it all the way up... but if you air down your tires your going to want to watch out for your tire poping off like i said unless you have beaded rims in which case just go ahead and air down to 5 ;)

300 bucks , you could get american eagle 589's for that much and even get a better deal with tires .........Now thinking about it , all you need is two for the front , the front is about an inch further in than the rear .maybe I'll get some and have two sets of rims ............

I had to get 2 inch spacers because the kit required it, so getting 1 inchers won't work. Besides, i like the stock rims, they are pretty nice lookin.
