thanx for the pics and info...im staying with the stock wheels but thinking of spacers but cant decide on the thickness!
I don't really want the wheels stinking past the wheel wells like my previous truck cause I don't want to put on fender flares.
I hung a string line from the edge of the fender a got 1".
how far do yours stick out?

When I talked with Fred Goeske (Fred Goeske Racing/WheelAdapters.com), he basically told me that 1-inch spacers are too thin for use on our heavy 4x4 trucks and would not sell any that thin. I initially wanted 1.25 inches because I thought I was going with wider tires, but he strongly recommended 1.5-inch spacers for my setup with the 11.5 inch wide Duratracs, and he was dead-on right. My tires are pushed to the outside edge of the fenders and just barely peek out (about 1/2 inch) which is exactly what I wanted. Even if I go to a wider 34-35 tall tire, I will still only be no more than an inch past the fenders. Like you, I didn't want my tires to stick too far out, and didn't want to add wider fender flares either.
Here's a better angle and closeup on how far out the tires are:

Here's my truck: the tires are basically flush right now with the fenders.
