KAX 5x5 Wheel Spacers 1.5 in for Grand Cherokee & Wrangler - Better

Our review of the KAX 5x5 wheel spacers finds them best suited for owners who need a reliable, bolt-on solution to correct wheel offset or increase track width. These 1.5 in spacers are hub-centric with a 71.5mm center bore and M14x1.5 studs, so the single biggest reason to buy is their combination of precise fitment for many Jeep and Dodge models and strong forged 6061-T6 construction that gives confidence on rough roads. Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic wheel work, and the included 10.9 class split nuts and instructions help ensure proper torque.

Key Features

• 1.5 in thickness: Widens track and corrects offset without extreme modification, improving stability and clearance for aftermarket tires.
• 71.5mm hub centric bore: Centers the wheel precisely on the hub to reduce vibration compared with generic non hub-centric spacers.
• M14x1.5 threaded studs and nuts: Uses common stud size and high-strength 10.9 split nuts for a secure bolt-on attachment.
• Forged 6061-T6 aluminum: Forging offers higher strength and consistent dimensions versus cast alternatives for long-term durability.
• Vehicle compatibility list: Specifically fits many 2021-2025 Grand Cherokee, Wrangler, Gladiator and Durango variants when a 5x5 bolt pattern is required.

Who It's For

This product is aimed at Jeep and Dodge owners who need a precise 5x5 in (5x127 mm) spacer that is hub-centric and 1.5 in thick. It is a good match for drivers fitting aftermarket wheels or seeking a slightly wider stance for off-road or trail use, and for those who want the reassurance of forged 6061-T6 aluminum and high-strength hardware.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners whose vehicles do not have at least 2 in of clearance between fender and tire, or anyone with factory wheel studs longer than 2 in who is unwilling to trim studs as recommended. Also, shoppers who prioritize scratch-resistant finishes above all else may want to consider alternatives after checking this model during installation.
