    Wheel spacers?

    MC, did you ever make wheel spacers? Will is looking to offset his stock rims now that he has the 35's on there. I'm thinking 1 to 1-1/2 inches.

    If you make them that would be great, we like to keep our money local.

    Yes we made them for 6 years however the import billets are now cheaper than the material I can get.

    Bet that billet stuff starts out from a boat in the good USA as raw ore and get refined there.

    Isn't china getting all the steel and coke from us, then we get lead back on toys under the free trade? lol

    How many aluminum pop and beer cans would a guy have to melt down to make a AMC block?
    If this new part can't break....what old part will??

    I've seen spacers of several different thicknesses on ebay starting at about $60/pair plus shipping. Considering purchasing a set myself, my CJ5 has 33x12.5x15 and there is noticeable rubbing with the rear tires.

    Too much money for me... Either way you cut it... Maybe if I had a constant flow coming in then I'd splurge but until then... I'm counting pennies... So to speak.
