Do I need the jounce spacers that SLP calls for if you run a 17in rim/tire set up?
Or is it garbage?

I paid 400 for the whole set, they are silver I wanted chrome but what can you do. The poor guy was told the same thing but when he picked them up this morning he found out they were silver too, and knocked 100 off the price for me.

They are absolutely perfect, no scratches all have the SLP caps and new lugnuts/locks and lugnut covers.

Too bad they are silver tho

So back on topic jounce spacers needed?

Man SLP says run spacer with any wheel taller than a 17. I have 18/9.5's Z06's and my wheels don't rub and I don't have the spacer's. The only thing they do is keep your tires from rubbing your inner fender. I'd say put them on and if they rub your inner fenders get them and if they don't forget it. But I don't think you'll have any problem I've never heard of anybody running them.
