Default 1.5" wheel spacers

Does anyone have pics of 1.5" wheel spacers with stock 18" rims and 285 or 295 tires? I'm not trying to start a debate on wheel spacers and have searched but can't find any pics of this setup. I'm trying to see how flush they sit with the fenders.

1.5 spacer will push it out past the fender...take a tape measure hold it the your current config and look and see where it will be.

Yeah I've done that and am pretty sure I like it just wanted to see if anyone had pictures. I'm hoping to get a set in the next couple weeks.

Some say they can cause lug nuts to break, but if you use the hub centric type and torque them correctly and regularly check them you'll be fine
