KAX 5x5 Wheel Spacers 2 in - Hub Centric Forged 71.5mm Bore

In this review the KAX 5x5 wheel spacers are evaluated for owners of Jeep Wrangler, Grand Cherokee and Commander models who need a reliable 2 in track spacer. The bottom line: these spacers are a solid, forged 6061-T6 aluminum solution that corrects offset and clearance issues and installs as a bolt-on kit with 1/2' x20 studs and 71.5mm hub centering. For drivers who want stronger stance and improved off-road clearance without changing wheels, the KAX kit delivers dependable fit and build quality.

Key Features

• Forged 6061-T6 Aluminum: The forging process and aircraft-grade alloy provide strength and resistance to deformation under harsh conditions.
• 2 in Thickness: Widening the track by 2 in helps correct offset and improves clearance for larger tires and aggressive wheel offsets.
• 71.5mm Hub Bore with Lip: The hub centric design centers the wheel on the hub to reduce vibration and ensure consistent alignment.
• 1/2' x20 Threaded Studs and 10.9 Nuts: High strength hardware is supplied to secure the spacer and resist loosening over time.
• Simple Bolt-On Installation: The package includes four spacers, nuts and an instruction manual to install without specialty machining in most cases.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at owners of 2007-2017 Wrangler, 1999-2010 Grand Cherokee, and 2006-2010 Commander who run a 5x5 (5x127mm) bolt pattern and need a reliable 2 in spacer to fix clearance or offset problems. It is particularly useful for drivers who fit wider tires or aftermarket wheels and want a hub centric solution to minimize vibration.

Not everyone should buy these spacers: do not proceed unless you confirm at least 2 in of fender-to-tire clearance and check that your factory studs allow room for the 2 in spacer or can be trimmed as needed. Owners of other bolt patterns or vehicles outside the listed compatibility should look for a model matched to their hub specs.
