Wheel Spacer Adapters?

I am about to order new Tires for my 05 Texas Edition and I'm thinking about running some 1.5'' Wheel Spacer Adapters (The ones that have Thread Bolts on them and your stock bolts are recessed in the spacer ) I am wanting these because I am currently running 315-70-R17's (34.6'' x 11") Tires on 2.5'' Leveling kit on STOCK wheels, and they scrub my frame a little at full lock. The New Tires I am ordering are the same size but Mud Terrain ( I think they are an "aggressive All Terrain" Myself) and was wanting to know of anybody who has had Spacer Adapters and what they think of them? Thanks , here is a link to the Tires https://www.treadwright.com/p-79-315...dog-m-t-d.aspx

You know you'll just be moving the rubbing around right? Since those tires are almost 12" wide it'll move the rubbing to the bottom of the valence and most likely the inside of the fender well.

Also do you have a link to the spacers you're considering?

Adapters style spacers are fine as long as you check and recheck the inner lugs. If they become loose you will create a shear point.

Thanks Guys, and yes Pizza here is the link

Kinda long, All the ones I have seen are made from the same T6 Billet Aluminum, so I thought to buy them on E-bay since they are cheaper and Top rated seller. In reply to pizza, My buddy has the same tires on his 07 2wd with a 3'' level but has Offset rims and NO rubbing on the Lower plastic valance or inside the wheel well, and it stopped the Frame Rubbing as well! So the bottom line is I just need to make sure everything is tight every few months or so? Thanks

i would check them everytime you pull them off, say every time you rotate your tires (5k miles or so)
