Plan to use Wheel Spacer for Jeep Cherokee XJ
Thank you to the Admin to allow me to join this forum. I'm from Indonesia, my Jeep is Cherokee XJ 4.0 Limited. I'd like to learn more about Cherokee, to have more friends....
Sorry to directly raise my problem...
I just finished installed the wheel flares Bushwacker, now the appearance of my Jeep become so weird because I'm still using Wheel Centerline R 15" but with 7" only the width. I'd like to have an advice which one better, replace the wheel with the width of 8" or 8.5", or installed some kind like wheel spacers on to my Jeep.
Which ones will be more safe and solve my problem?
Is Spidertrax the recommended brand accessories for wheel spacer requirement? Could you please share your experience using this spacers?
Thanking you in advance again for the upcoming shares and advices.
Note: I apologize if I post on the wrong category.

why not get 1.5" wheel spacers and get a new set of rims with 4" of backspacing then you will be sure to have a nice width

This picture shows what backspacing is. If you get new wheels with less backspacing they will look like the wheel on the right in the picture. It would do the same thing as a wheel spacer, but be safer.
