Anyone run these wheel spacers?

Yes, those are 1.5" spacers in the pic. A/T tires in my opinion will look better, and you can switch out once you decide to ditch the GYs. However, i don't think yours will look bad at all.

 

I had no cons with the spacer itself. I did rub the wheel liner in reverse at full lock, but that was because of the tire OD. Those were 275/60/20, so 33" tires. If you stick with the stock size, you'll have no isssues. Even if you bump up to 275/65/18 or 285/65/18, I don't think you'll have any issues with rubbing. I had no vibs at all, very happy with them. Make sure to get good hub centric ones, that makes all the difference in the world.

In the pics you postrd... Are those 1.5 spacers? My only concern is your tires have that nice squared off edge. The factory gy have that rounded look. Curious if that makes them less appealing. Did you notice any cons by putting a 1.5 spacer on ....vibrations?... I had read a spacer messes with the wheel bearings but would assume aftermarket rims with a diff offset would be the same as a spacer in regards to increased bearing wear

 

 

Was looking at these

Those might work, but I have no experience with them.

 

I HIGHLY recommend these:

I used Bora Spacers on my 9-7x with my winter setup, no issues at all. I used them on the truck, no issues at all.

The ones I posted aren't hubcentric as far as I see. I looked at rough country and those aren't huncentric but see almost all 5 star

Here is my truck when I had the 1.5" spacers/adaptors on.

 

 

I wanted to know, with the 1.5" did you need to cut the factory studs. I tried to install 1" and the factory studs hit the back of my 15' Z71 wheels LT.

Nope, 1.5 fits with no trimming on the OEM studs. Do your wheels have the little pockets behind the wheel as well?

Yep, little pockets. I'm running stock tires for now. Should be a little past flush with side of truck

I have 2" leveling kit with AAL, stock wheels on 275-60-20 duratracs. I'm getting some rubbing on my UCA and am thinking about putting on some wheel spacers. I have mud flaps installed the wheel well that are about 1/4" thick. If I put 1.5" wheel spacers on will I rub the mud flaps/ anywhere else? I might be able to taper the thickness of the mud flap if required when the spacers are on and the wheels are turned. Open to suggestions to fix the problem and get a better stance.

I am running 1/4" wheel spacers all around with my 20 inch stock wheels and (32.8" x 12.3") federal couragia mt tires to avoid rubbing in the front on the UCA. I used to have the 1/2" wheel spacers on the front wheels on my old 2006 gmc canyon with ET lug nuts and she ran fine but I would only drive it locally or to the beach occasionally because I did notice that not all 6 ET lug nuts would torque all the way to the spacer. My 1/4" spacers have been doing great on long distance travels of 600-800 mile trips but I do tire rotation prior to re-torque wheels and have peace of mind.
