After you modify large-size tires or brakes on your Jeep Wrangler, you will find something rubbing when you are driving it at full turn. This situation is because the clearance of the wheel is not enough to contain the brake or your different size tires with the full turn hutting the control arms and suspensions. In case the rim offset remains high it can adversely affect the liner inside when the vehicle takes a U-turn. The Jeep Wrangler wheel spacers provide more clearance to your mods that allows you to modify the ideal size tires without any rubbing. And the brake can be firmly fitted in the space.
