    I would think at least a 1/4" spacer is required

    you just bought the wheels?

    I think I saw someone on JF running Cragars and said he needed a 1/4" spacer because of the caliper setup on our rigs

    The guy who has them on his WK said he didn't need any spacers, so you are good to go without them.

    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.

    Weird that just the style would be that different so it wouldn't clear...
