Wheel*spacers on a Rubicon ? (rear only)

[Rubicon/Deere]

I have "ITP*Mud*Lites" on my Rubicon, and my front wheel hits my winch if I get in a tight spot and have to turn the wheel all the way around.. I can take my winch and mounting plate off and drill new holes to move the winch over, and that would give me enough clearance for the front.. So I "don't need" spacers for the front.

On the rear my tire hits the exhaust if I have extra weight on my rear rack, and go through a dip in the trail.

Does anyone have wheel*spacers on a Rubicon ??

Where is a good place to buy spacers.. I probably just need 1" for the rear.

Thanks!

What kind of rims do you have and what sizes are the tires? I have ITP Mudlites stock size with ITP rims, can't remember the name of the rims, and I do not have a clearance problem at all.

I still have the aluminum stock rims that came on it.

I use to have ITP "stock size" and went with a larger size.

The tires I have now are.

Front: 26X10*12

Rear: 26X12*12

Do you have a winch on your Rubicon ??

Thanks for the reply!

Yes I do have a winch and do not have any clearance issues.

The larger size tires is why you need spacers. I just have stock size tires and do not have a problem.
