Question jounce bumper spacer?

I have the stock 16 inch wheels and I am upgrading to 17's soon. Do I need these?

no unless your tires rub the inner fender's at full lock. I'm running 18/9.5's With a 56mm offset and 275/35 GSD3's with pro-kit springs that dropped my car alittle over 2 inch's after settling and have no rubbing issues what's so ever

No way, in fact I removed mine and bought some shorter bump stops to increase rear suspension travel. I have 18x10's and Prokit springs, there are no rubbing issues that the stupid spacer helps.

Those mount on the rear of the car, so I'm not sure how they'd affect turning the wheels against the lock, I think you're thinking of a wheel spacer.

You don't need them, save your money.

if you go with 11's on the back you will need to remove them.....anything under that you will be good.....just put 11's on the back and i had to remove them to get rid of the rubbing
