i have the jimny bits 3" lift + jimnybits front radius arms + 3" trailmaster comfort +215/75/15 bf km2 on stock alloy wheels
i use the 25mm spacers.
heard on the forum that there is problems with 32mm spacers, someone say that he change bearings 3 times in the past 18 monthes.. plus king pins bearings.
what is your experience with stock wheel and 32mm wheel spacing?
Ask yourself this, were the Jimny bearings designed to have 32mm wider on each corner ... Me thinks the answer is NO!
I have had 32mm Spacers on my Jimny for last 10yrs, and YES bearings do wear out (maybe once per year), but the extra width and stability you have for that extra gain in height is well worth it!.
I had 32mm spacers on with off set wheels and a month later a bearing went so thought oh it might a been on it's way out anyway so changed it then within a week the opposite side went and thought oh they might of been done at the same time so did that one went green laneing a week later and hay presto on the way home a wheel bearing went so it was good by spacers and guess what they have been fine ever since don't do it to yourself

What was the point with spacers with offset wheels - no wonder your bearings gave up!
