I beat myself with a wet noodle AND searched before posting this. :pfeilimkopf-big:

2004 XE - Didn't see this setup anywhere, that's why i'm posting

Stock Rims
1.5" PML
1.5" Wheel Spacers
265/70R 16 (currently on the X)

I'm ok with a little plastic trimming.
Where is a good source for wheel spacers?
Anyone know if I could go just a bit bigger with tires w/o major work?

Thank you

The wheel spacers make it so the tires will rub more....just delete them from your plan.

:D

On the X, being IFS, the spacers make the tires swing through a wider arc, and hit more things on the way through...requireing more trimming, just to fit tires a rig w/o spacers could fit with no trimming, etc.

I have that same tire size and I fit them with taking off like 1/8" off the plastic.

Good to know about the spacers. My main reason for thinking about them was more stability, helping with the 18-Wheeler grooves in our roads around here and looks. I think the wheel spacers are out. There's PLENTY of places to blow that cash
