Default help with wheel spacers

Hey guys, i finally got my nitto trail grapplers 35x12.5x20s mounted on my factor fx4 rims and with my hell bent steel leveling kit. The only place it rubs slightly is on the upper control arms not the fenders or anything. So i think i need to order some small wheel spacers. What size do you think i should go with and where/what brand should i get? I have never used spacers before so I'm kind of worried about using them.

careful. I had 1" spacers on mine and I tore the bolts off Uturning on the street. Nothing to aggressive, but I sheared 4 on one and 3 on the other.
Coulda been a disaster!!

The rubbing you are experience wont last long. Mine rubbed a hair for a few weeks. then it was done

295x60x20 prob would of fit no rub, cheaper and very close to your size..I have the 18" fx4 rims for winter and 285's almost rubbed the control arm, to many horror stories ill never try wheel spacers, your better off getting aftermarket rims or a tire not as wide as you have the height clearance just not the offset

I'm literally thinking 1/4 inch spacer maybe 1/2 inch at the most.
