Installing Jeep Wrangler JL wheel spacers is a popular modification that most people will do for their off-roading machines. By moving the tires out about several millimeters, they provide a wider stance. They also increase the track width. The tires have a greater track width to provide better stability to the vehicle while cornering.
Proper-size Jeep Wrangler JL wheel spacers won’t affect the suspension. But what size Jeep Wrangler spacers are the best? Let’s answer first. For most OEM Jeep Wrangler JL, 25mm to 35mm spacers provide a perfect flush fitment. If you change to wider AT tires, you can use thicker spacers. In this ultimate review, we will look at the pro tips for selecting the best set.
Jeep Wrangler JL Wheel Spacers: Bolt-on vs Slip-on
There are different Jeep Wrangler JL wheel spacers: bolt-on types and slip-on types. The bolt-on spacers are bolted to the vehicle studs and following the wheels are secured on the spacers with provided lug nuts. They are perfect for Jeep Wrangler JL that use lug nuts to lock the wheels.
On the other hand, slip-on spacers simply slide over your existing wheel studs. If you need around 3mm to 12mm wheel spacers, slip-on wheel spacers will do. This type of wheel spacer doesn’t come with pressed-in wheel studs. You need new longer wheel studs to safely secure the spacers and wheels.
Pro Tips: The Jeep Wrangler JL bolt-on wheel spacers are a better choice for rock crawling since they are less likely to come loose.
Jeep Wrangler JL Wheel Spacers: Hub-centric vs Lug-centric
Jeep Wrangler JL hub-centric wheel spacers are designed with center rings that fit perfectly the axle and the space inside the center bore of the wheel. This ensures the wheel is properly centered on the spacer, reducing vibrations and preventing potential safety issues.
On the other hand, the Jeep Wrangler JL lug-centric wheel spacers come with larger hub bore diameters so that the spacer can fit a wider array of vehicles. Without the support of the hub (because of the gap), the wheel cannot be centered on the axle, leading to annoying wheel vibrations while driving.
Pro Tips: The Jeep Wrangler JL hub-centric wheel spacers are a better choice for off-roading since they provide even load distribution and minimize vibration.
