Default Wheel Spacers
Any advice on wheel spacers? Looking for 1.5" to match Bushwackers. Thanks!

Thanks, do you know if I would have to cut the studs if I run 1.5" spacers with 20" Sport wheels?

Factory 20" Sport wheels will clear 1.5" spacers without cutting. I've got them on my 2015 FX4.

Are there any "watch outs" with wheel spacers? Can they cause issues or premature wear on other parts of the suspension?

Depends on if the spacer is lug centric or hub centric.

Tie rods, ball joints, and other suspension components will be stressed at a higher rate and will therefore wear out faster because you have pushed the wheel centerline out further than OEM design.

Is that true if you get new wheels with a different offset?
