Aluminum spacers, 1.25" 5 on 5 bolt pattern JK, Chevy. $75 for the pair. Used for about 20 miles and removed. Swapped wheels and don't need.(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/02/na7ade8a.jpg)

NOBODY? Man, with all the JK guys I figured this would be gone by now. BUMP

Good luck with sale. I've already got a set that I still need to install

Not to rain on the parade but you may want to check, the JK requires Hubcentric spacers and those do not look to be. Then again, I may be wrong.
-
Nope. They are hub centric or so Jeremy told me when I bought them ;) jeepforum is next.

Ok...I didn't see a shoulder on them but it could be the glare. //cheers2//

Well after looking at some Google pics I may be wrong. Does it have to have the lip to be HC?

Yes, that is what centers it on the hub, the way yours are uses the lugs to center it.
Non hub centric can cause a wobble on a rig that requires HC
-
Hmmmm. Well, guess I will try some Chevy sites. None of my Fronts were hub centric then. Maybe why I had an issue on the why????

I "think" hub centric has the lip on the hub hole and that is what lines up the rim. Peep the spidertrax spacers for the tj and you will see it.

That makes sense, to me. A good lesson that everyone could learn from.

Well, I still have the old spacer from "the incident" and it does not have a lip. Could that have really caused the wheel to come off? If so, I was sold the wrong spacers. Need to dig a little on this as I still wonder what the hell happened that day. //popcorn//

What I read was that the lip of a hub centric design is what supports the up and down motion of the wheel (well, the weight is rested on that lip) whereas the lugs are what provide the lateral motion support. What surprises me about your situation, is the lugs coming away from the hub, not the spacer. If the lugs between the spacer and the wheel separated, then I could understand since the wheel would have no lip to support the forces, but since the vehicle's hubs were 'hub centric', the spacer should have been fully supported by the hub's centric part, thus that shouldn't have broken away at that point.
I take back my "makes sense to me" comment...it does not make sense, if the failure was at the lugs between the vehicle hub and the spacer.

Clark... back up to the "makes sense to me" part... if he was using a non HC spacer the center hole is larger then a HC hole so thus, the vehicle weight was NOT resting on the center hole of the non HC spacer just as the tire was not resting any weight on the non HC spacer except through the lugs.
A non HC spacer does not have a shoulder on either side and the center bore is much larger then the hub on the vehicle.

Ok, I'm back to, "makes sense to me" lol

Yeah, you made me scared of spacers. I have them & have always said to my self "Well, Ben wheels his Jeep a lot harder than me & he's never had an issue"...Then you posted those pictures. You're lucky dude, it could have been a lot worse! Anyway, good luck with the sale.

Yup. Could have easily died. Still amazed at how stable it was on 3 wheels at 65.
