Do you have any indentations on the backs of the wheels? If so how deep? That will tell you your clearance, Clarence.

Not hub centric, bad idea.

1.5 will clear for sure, the 1.5 it's just wide enough to clear the bolts, anything less, you'll need to check your wheels back spacing.

So, 1" spacers should work? With no cutting the original studs? I'm not sure what you mean by less.

1" spacers will LIKELY require you to trim 0.5" off the studs to keep them from sticking out past the outside face of the 1" spacer ...

UNLESS ...

you have 0.5" or more space inside the back of the wheel for the protruding studs to go into.

OK, sometimes it has to hit me squarely between the eyes.

Like he said, you need to check the back of your wheel hub and see how big the indentations are, if any. Just pull the wheel off and have a look. Much more reliable than asking us idiots.

here's a pic for reference. I have 1.25" spacers. You can see that my studs stick out about 1/4" past the face of the spacer. If your wheels have a fully solid flat surface where the wheel attaches to the hub, except for the holes in the wheel for the factory studs, then your studs have to be trimmed, or you'll need at least a 1.5" spacer.

However, on my FX wheels, there is a "cavity" between each of the mounting holes on the wheel that allow for the "excess" stud to sit in so that there is no interference between the back of the wheel and the protruding studs.

Just got back from the shop. One of the balancing weights got knocked off somehow. Rides like a dream now. The Rancho 9000 are legit.
