Widened wheels

[sflrainmaker01]

I am installing some 9.5" wheels on the rear of my 04 in a week or so when I get the tires (295 45 18 Nitto) put on them. Am I going to need a small spacer to fit these? I have aftermarket control arms and stock shocks and airbags.

I use a .25" spacer. Some get away with no spacer.

I had the exact same combo on my 2003 Marauder and the tires cleared the rear shocks by about 1/4".

no,you won't need spacers

I have the same setup on my '04. No clearance issues.

I think it all depends what shocks you use, I had KYB shocks on the back and they rubbed, my solution was to remove the plastic piston guard/cover and it worked perfectly. I’m not a fan of spacers, especially non-hub centric style.

With the 1/4" spacers, the wheel still engages on the axle hub.

Yes. *Currently have ¼" H&R spacers on all 4 wheels.
