Default Wheel spacers

Hey all,

I'd really like for my wheels to stick out at least a .5" and a whole inch would be real nice....how can I achieve this?
I will be putting 265/70/17 on pretty soon and the only wheel spacers I can find without dropping a boatload are 5/16 inch.... What can I do?

I appreciate the help

What are the size you've got quoted at for 60? I was thinking about getting some for mine, i'm runnin' 315/70R17 on 17x8 factory. Do you know if they cause any problems? Id hate to have to drop cash on wider wheels when I already like the ones I have.

it has to be a 5x135. you can drill out 5x5.5s but i strongly urge you not to. spacers are sketchy enough as it is
