X2 that was my problem also.

I have had spacers on for 3 years with no issues. I put them on so my 32" MT's would not rub my radius arms. I'm very glad I installed them. Not only does the wider stance look good but I believe my D1 handles better on road and off road. Greater stability. I do a lot of off roading and have had no issues of any kind.

I am pleased with the replies.
Please describe your setup:

I am sure many others are interested.

P.S.: if you know of sources to avoid, please say so.

Thickness I'm not sure exactly on, but slightly thicker than the distance from the hub face to the end of the stud.
I think around $200 for two (I got them about 7 or 8 years ago)
From RTE
Cooper 7.50R16 Discoverer STT (old style) and also 7.50R16 Goodyear G90's
No problems.

I had Toddco spacers with 32x10.50 mts. I think they were $400 for the set about a year ago. The only problem I had with them(not spacers fault) is that the lugs come loose on the spacer after about 5miles i retourqed them and never had a problem after that.

Oh yeah forgot to add they are 1.5" thickness.

Bought my 1 1/4" spacers out of Rovers North. They are Proline Performance aluminum alloy spacers. Not cheap though at $429/kit I think it was. Have had no issues knock on wood. I like the benefits they have given me. Probably can be gotten cheaper elsewhere.

If all you're trying to do is help your turning radius, you only need them on the front. I've had no issues running them only on the front.

I measured my spacers today. They are 30mm. Pretty standard.
