Installed some 1.5 inch spacers this weekend. They are from Supreme Suspensions in CA.

Before the install the wheels were tucked a little too far inside the flares.

Did the same with mine for my winter stock wheels because they looked lost inside the pocket flares....made all the difference in the world.

A vehicles stance is everything. Wheel spacers used to be frowned upon but the new, hub centric designs seem to be fine. Unless you go too far of course. I've seen kids on instagram post pics of 12 inch wide wheels with two sets of 2 inch spacers! I swear you can hear the ball joints screaming for mercy over the internet!! LOL

Im really happy with how it looks with these on, I contemplated 2 inch but I'm happy with the 1.5.

I had to take about 1mm off each wheel stud to ensure they dig to the spacers.

I bought 1.5 spacers didn't get them on yet but I was told there would be no shaving of the lugs with the 1.5 spacers

I'd say YMMV....my studs still protruded about 1/16" with 1.5" spacers but they fit into the recess of my wheels so no issues.
