Just tried test fitting the wheels. They dont clear the caliper bracket. There is not enough lip of the inside where the wheel mounts to the wheel bearing/hub assembly. The wheels that guy has on his WK are a totally different wheel. Now I have to figure out what im going to do. Do I get 1/4 spacers or see if they will take the wheels back. The guy at quadratec said they would work on my XK.

If he said they would fit then it's there fault and should take them back. I ran 1/4 spacers up front for awhile with no issues but it did bug me knowing they were there.
How long did you run the 1/4 inch wheel spacers and do you think its a bad idea? I called Fred Goeske at wheeladapter.com and he can make me up a set of 1/4 inch wheel spacers, hub/wheel centric and have them to me by tomorrow for $100. After speaking to him I called quadratec and they said they will pay for the wheel spacers and refunded my card $100.

That's pretty cool of them to do that. I didn't run the hub centric it was the old school plain spacer that's why i didn't like it at all. I still had a lot of thread to grab with the lug nuts but it still bugged me. I did some wheeling and took a trip with them on they were fine probably had them about 5 months and just had them on the front it didnt cause any issues for me at all.
Looks like he has these: http://www.quadratec.com/products/92613_0350_07.htm
I like the ones you have better.
Weird that just the style would be that different so it wouldn't clear...

Its all good. I got custom 1/4 wheel spacers made yesterday (hub centric to XK hub, wheel centric to the black rock wheels) from Fred Goeske in California and they were sent overnight to my house. They are on vehicle for delivery as we speak! The tires are being mounted on the wheels as we speak and will get installed on XK tonight as long as everything works out.

WOW that was fast glad it all came together so fast. Are you running the spacers on all four wheels or just the front?
Just the front. The wheels clear fine in the rear. Im not really a fan of the 1/4 inch spacers for safety reasons, and really didnt want to go this route. That was the whole purpose of buying the wheels. But what can you do. The spacers are both hub/wheel centric so that will make me not worry as much about them being installed. Also I dont think the front sitting out 1/4 inch more will be all that noticable. Oh...and I just got an email on my phone, the spacers are at my house now! 24 hours ago they were just a block of aluminum sitting in cali.
