I do have the 1.5" spacers. Thanks for the input I'm going to order the stuff tonight or tomorrow along with a new rack.

An 8.5 wheel has a centerline (0mm offset) at 4.75" backspace. Add 25mm offset, which is ~1" and that changes the backspace to 5.75".
Just a quick note.... if that is indeed the root cause and the wheels are 5.75" backspace as opposed to the 5.3" backspace they [seemingly incorrectly] claim, you probably have grounds to have them swap out the wheels for the JK series which *should* work better.
Superlift clearly states in their application notes:

New wheel with maximum backspacing of 5.5" is required for installation. Factory spare can be used as a temporary spare in emergency situations.
They are definitely 17x8.5 inch wheels. I talked to AEV a while back because I noticed what they had posted online was incorrect. Whatever they posted for the offset didnt mathmatically add up to what they posted for the back spacing. If I recall corectly they said the offset was correct and they posted the wrong back spacing. I havent been on their website to see what its listed as lately. Ill check now.
EDIT: The website says +25 offset and 5.3 inches of back spacing. Obvioulsy they havent corrected it. Maybe next time trailbyfire has a wheel off he can just measure it. Or did he do that already and i missed it.
They still claim 8.5" wide, +25mm offset and 5.3" backspace: http://www.aev-conversions.com/shop/...-beadlock.html
I remember this came up a while ago because someone on JF was arguing with me, they claimed I didn't know what offset and backspace were because "according to AEV...." lol you fill in the rest
That's funny cause AEV admitted their website was incorrect.
