So I recently bought some new tires, bfg all-terrains 265/75/16 and lifted my ex with aal and torsion twist to clear the tires. But i'm experiencing slight rub at full lock and was thinking of getting some spacers to clear the tires. I found these spacers on craigslist and wanted to know from you guys if these will work for me or if theyre too much spacing. I spoke to the guy and he said theyre 1.5 inches thick. I'm completely blind to this whole thing and would really appreciate any help you guys can give me. Thanks in advance

I am no expert, but I would stick to well known brands, like H&R for example.

Those spacers in particular, scare me. Look at how close the open lug holes are, and how little material is between the holes. I would think that little would fail for sure after tightening some lugnuts down.
 






yeah thats what I was thinking, the guy said they were a no brand that he bought from a tire place that got them from a local machinist. Guess i'll just tough it out and save up for some quality spacers.
