the reason the smallest is 1" is because there's no room for the studs on the hub if you go much thicker. The good spacers (like these) bolt to the hub with the original studs, then boly the wheel to the spacer with the spacer's own set of studs, this eliminates the inadequate clamping forces that the thin spacers that bolt the wheel and spacer on with the same studs have probelems with, which is why the cheaper spacers can have probelems with the wheels coming loose from the vehicle.

Crazyhorse,

I used to live in Prescott. On whetstine, right across from Denny's.

My roommate was a flight instructor at Embry-Riddle, Andy, he drove a lifted Cherokee.

I just installed my new spacers from Performance Wheel. These things appear to be strong as hell. I wanted my EB to have a wider stance and these were just the ticket. Glad to here Crazyhorse has not had any problems. I went with 1.5" in front and 2" in the rear.

No shit, it really sucks. I miss the desert, and the climate.
