Wheel Spacers

[Jzop]

ok so after I put my 33" Pro Comp xTerrains on my 98 XLT I realized that at full turn both left and right that they are rubbing against my front sway bar. Im not to worried about it at the moment because its basically just polishing the sway bar and since its a smooth piece of medal I don't think im in danger of hurting the rugged tire side wall. But I am interested in purchasing a set of 4 wheel spacers to widen my trucks stance and fix this front wheel rubbing problem. So my question is for anyone that has bought wheel spacers, what would be a good reliable brand to buy and how large should I buy them meaning 1" 2" or 3" spacers. I do not plan on putting on fender flares because i just have never liked the look of them so the smallest possible spacer that would fix my problem would be preferable.
thanks

Your going to have to measure and maybe do some math.

The problem with spacers is that they increase the torque on the wheel bearing. Not along the axis of rotation but perpendicular to it, this will cause excessive wear and shorten the bearing life.

You should get tires that are not as wide or get a new rim that only off sets the tires just enough to stop the rubbing or buy the spacer that is small as possibly to stop the rubbing.

Do a search for wheel spacers on the forum. Then search pros and cons of wheels spacers on google.
