    They sit further out, 15mm to be exact. But Ive got mine so Im ready for the hybrid SL lift we will be running on mine. You need them further out so that when it flexes they have room to move. And it helps with stability. Ill eventually be running 305/70 tyres, and with my measurements it should be spot on with the +10 offset. We are also making some new flares to cover the tyres but i dont know if thats an issue over there.

    I dont know what Maryland's laws are but I don't believe thay will pass state inspection here in Va. Something to consider.

    In md. We only have to get inspectiin when you buy a vehicle
    They are very strict but we only have to do it once. But if you get pulled over they can write us a repair order and have to have it fixed within 7 days. And thats the only thing they look for if u get one

    Yeah they are illegal over here. But than again so is any tyre larger than 15mm diameter than factory, anything over 2" of lift, and any track change over 25mm. So Im out on all counts.....

    Dave

    Greg hasnt even been asked about his yet, so I guessing thanks to all those with the fake beadlock rims making it easier to get away with!

    Beadlocks aren't too bad on more modern vehicles... such as the WK. On previous vehicles I've had, including the cragar wheels on the XJ, they tended to be really bouncey. I never had any issues with losing air pressure in them. The quality of them has improved since I bought my last set, So maybe they won't chip and peal like mine did. But I like'm.

    With 6-8" of lift you WILL need more backspacing. The golden rule is you go up you must go out. For 6-8" You'd need about 4.00" of back spacing. If you still have both sets of your spidertrax you might be able to achieve that. Otherwise, look for something that will give you this.
