You're looking for wheel spacers for added width, right? Not coil spring spacers for extra lift?

For wheel spacers check out Spidertrax.

well, if it has a 3" bodylift and maybe add some 1.5" coil spacers you could run 31's

I think the biggest tire the sidekick driveline can take is a 32"-33" tire, but that is just my opinion.

I would recomend the 31x11.50x15 Super Swamper LTB's  I'm running them and they were cheaper then a BFG mud and perform 100% better then the BFG muds IMO

You can either just go with a set of 15x8 with the standard off-set of 3 3/4"inch
or go with the Black RockCrawlers with a 2 3/4"inch offset.
I run both of these off-sets on mine.
Check out the first posting here on
Members Rides Info thread
and see what others are running for lifts/tires/wheels

Both of these have Calmini's 6"inch lifts

15x7s with 3 1/2"inch offset and 31x1.50 tires


15x8 with 3 3/4 off-set and 31x10.50 tires


And another pic of 15x8 with 2 3/4"inch off-set and 32x11.50 tires


Does this help explain anything?

If you you're looking for wheels, be sure to check out www.summitracing.com. They have very competive prices, and they only charge a one time handling fee of $9.95...free shipping otherwise. They do charge shipping on tires but not on just wheels.

I got a set of US Wheel white 8 spoke wagon wheels from them. I went with a 15x8 with 2.5" backspacing (part #USW-70-5855R, cost per wheel - $33.88). They are mounted with 31x10.5 Mud King tires. This setup gives a very nice aggressive wide stance. I did have to do some cutting and trimming of the front fender opening. I also had to hammer the pinch weld on the inner fender flat in order to turn lock to lock with out rubbing. They do stick out beyond the fender wells and will require some flares eventually.
