I'm ditching the stock 20" goodyear SRA tires and ordered cooper at3 4s stock size tires (275/60/20). I was between leveling the front or lowering the rear with McGaughys 2" drop coils. After looking thru endless photos of both i decided to go with the rear 2" drop. I just love the look much better and will keep the stock coils or order air bags if i tow so no problems there. My questions are about wheel spacers. I love the look of the 1.5 wheel spacers and i already have flares so hopefully no issues with rocks down the sides. I will order the good supreme 1.5s hubcentric. Will i have any issues with the stock 20s fitting the wheel spacers or will the studs need to be cut? And will there be any rubbing issues with the 2" rear drop?

I have the supreme 1.5" hubcentric spacers on my 2015 Ram 1500. I absolutely enjoy these and installation was effortless. No cutting studs or anything.

Clean the surfaces, torque to wheel installation specs in random order, add blue locktight. Recheck torque after about 150 miles.

I've had mine for almost 2 years... Zero issues.

Only question left is will stock size tires rub at all with 1.5 spacers and 2" rear coil drop?

I wouldn't go larger than a 33 with stock suspension in the front and imo even if it wont rub that packed wheel well looks horrible so any bigger would look bad. Side note in was always under the impression that with a 1.5 space it would bottom out without trimming studs. I thought 1.75 was minimum but obviously it's been done. I also recommend bora over supreme.

Thanks for the info...I'm definitely keeping the stock size the coopers i bought are 33" tall stock 275/60/20 and 1.5 spacers from what I've dug up and what the poster earlier in this thread mentioned they fit no problem with no stud cutting required.
