Default Spacers

I have looked this up in the search but it gives so many and I cant find what I am looking for. SO sorry if there are threads on this already.

Trying to see if anyone on here has used wheel spacers. Looking to do a 1in to 2in spacer. Has anyone had problems or any info on them? Most likely going to do a 2in because of the length of the studs, So they clear the wheels. Thanks.

I dont recommend 2 inch highest is go is 1.5.. if you have a 04-08 you shouldnt have any issues with studs. as i installed perfectly. Get hub centric ones with the lip

Why not the 2in. What is the difference in the .5in

I have run 1.5" spacers on mine and I liked the stance but I didnt like a few things about them. First off is you are effectively extending the hub and putting more pressure on the bearing inside, causing premature wear and tear. I took mine off because of that. If you do get them, dont try to save money and buy Bora spacers. Also dont go over 1.5" because anything over that will even rid you quicker of those pesky wheel bearings.
