Just wondering if anyone knows of any good places to buy wheel spacers for a 2000 TJ sport?
Any good wheel and tire shop will have spacers. BUT be advised they are NOT reccommended for wheeling. They put alot of stress on you front end components and cause where faster. Also IF you are decided you want oto use them, If you go any more than 1/2" be sure to get the type that bolt on not the ones that go behind the wheel. Just my thoughts.

Well really wheel spacers put just as much stress on the hub and its components as wheels with the equal amount of backspacing so.....either go with new wheels or wheel spacers it doesnt really matter. steel wheels are about the same price as spacers though.
I'm running spidertrax spacers in the rear on my 8.8. They are pretty nice, but the price is a little high.

Spidertrax is the ONLY brand I'd trust. With them being hub-centric and mounting to the lugs directly, they are along the lines of buying new wheels. They will take stock Jeep wheels (5.5" backspacking) to a 4.25" backspacing, which can really help fit the bigger meats.
If you can work it and want to replace wheels, that MAY be a cheaper way to go, depending on which wheels you go with. If you love your wheels now, spacers would be the way to go.
