So I measured my tire to flare difference and the front wheels would need a 1" spacer to sit flush and the rear wheels would need 1.5" spacers. Will this cause any tracking issues? Please dont warn me of using spacers. Its a street queen and they would be hub-centric. I run a 285/50/20 and they are roughly 1" wider than the 275/55/20, but I want them flush. Thanks.

I was wondering the same thing. I have 285/60/20s and the fronts are just about flush but the rears are pretty tucked in.

I don't believe it would cause any issues on the truck. Would be like running different offset wheels front and rear.

Thats what I figured. But there has to be a reason that the factory has the rears a little more tucked than the front. I am guessing that even though I just did all new ball-joints, struts, shocks, sway bar links and bushings and tie-rod ends, I will be fine for a while.

Is there a mininum thickness of the spacer that wont require any grinding of the existing studs?

You won't have any problems. A lot of trucks have a slightly wider front stance from the factory. I have no idea why. The 1" spacer will need to have the studs trimmed, the 1.5" probably won't.

So I am bumping this up again. Since I dont want to trim existing studs, I think I will order 1.5" for the front and 2" for the rears. My son has been running 2" on his Ranger for 2 years with no issues.

Yes IIRC, 1.5 is the smallest you can go with no trimming studs. And even if you do have to trim them, it would be such a little amount you would not have to replace the studs if you ever took the spacers off, I had a similar experience when I bought my truck with 1" wheel spacers and took them off, there was still plenty of stud left.
