That makes it a +13.65, a 0 offset would get you real even to flush, or a 1.25" spacer would put you at around -10, which is slightly less than my -12. Depends on how wide your tires are as mine are 275/60/20 or 10.8" wide.

Went ahead and ordered the eBay spacers for each end of the truck. The hubcentric just seems like a good thing, thanks for the replies guys.

The 1/4" ones? Think you'll notice a difference?

Won't be a lot, but I'd still like just a tad bit more on the front. I'll likely notice since I put them on, but probably no one else would. You know how I do these things like that.

1/4" spacers aren't gonna be hub centric, nor will they have studs, nor would you want steel studs sunk into 1/4" spacers. With 1/4" spacers, you are using basically "disc brake spacers", the cones of your OEM nuts will center in the lug holes of your wheels, the hub may even still reach the hub on the truck. Light weight aluminum disc brake spacers were never "hub centric", nor do they need to be. It'll be fine.
