Default Wheel spacers Y/N?

Just bought my first Jeep: 2000 Cherokee Sport 4WD, 91,000 miles, 1 owner, always garaged. All stock. To be used as RV toad. No serious off roading planned. Looking to get some OEM take off wheels to replace ugly 15" steelies, taller tires OK if no other mods required(other than speedo gears). Used 5 on 4.5 choices are limited, but 5 on 5 have lots more options.
Any issues I should be aware of using 1.25 or 1.5 inch spacers to get 5 on 5 bolt pattern? Are there thinner spacers?

Thanks!

Mark

You wouldn't want thinner than that or you would have to trim the studs.

I use spacers front and rear for wider stance/clearance issues (not bolt pattern). No problems.

Hey there Datsun...
When you do swap them out, if the OEM steelies are in good shape let me know. I might be interested in taking them off your hands for mine.
