I filled up and put 8 on it this weekend
All this came up because I had a buddy at work today tell me he has a brand new Super Swamper SSR that I can have. He just wants it gone. So, I'm probably going to run 33x12.5x15s.

I would just recommend keeping the tools needed to tighten the spacers in the truck at all times.
We had a guy wheeling with us 2 weeks ago who had one come loose. He didn't have the proper tools to tighten or remove the spacer with him and no one else had a shallow socket. Big fail on his part.

Good advice. I keep my torque wrench and sockets in my truck since I installed mine.

it's much easier then beating a larger socket into a smaller hole Ive come to find out
Now I'm waiting for him to bring the tire into work so I can get it and make sure it is what he thinks it is.
Making a mental note.... don't be the jackass that can't tighten go because of a loose tire.

Ive had spidertrax front and rear for like 2 years. I wheel it hard and have never had a problem. Like any moving part, proper installation is important.
The only problem ive had is whatvwas mentioned earlier. The local discount tire wont touch them. I had to take my wheels off and bring them in loose to get my tires installed.

So - to continue this cluster F along - wheel spacers are ok. I'm going to need to run a hub centric spacer on the back axle and lug centric spacer on the front. Correct? Or just run lug centric spacers on all four corners.
Lug centric on all 4 will work fine
Sweet. I have FS post to find from yesterday....

Tommy want wingy..
As said above a properly installed/torqued wheel spacer should work well for you. I run a set of 1.5" spacers from Marlin. They have worked well and have not loosened up any.
However, everything does have its weaknesses. I saw it happen first hand. Alex had a little bad luck at Jambo this past year. A proper BS'ed whell is still your best bet in the long run. With the luck I have had with wheels and tires I plan to eliminate the spacers in the future to decreas any extra leverage on the front hubs.
