Does anyone have experience with wheel spacers on a lowered Silverado?  I want to get the proper kind, the Bora's on this site: https://www.motorsport-tech.com

 I love my rims but I would like them to be more flush with the wheelwell for a much better look, but not sure if anyone can think of it posing an issue since they are the good kind of spacers?? I was thinking of getting like 1" or 1.25" spacers, I know that I would probably need to cut the wheel bolts though, but might be worth it. The front is a a little higher now than the picture since I adjusted the coilovers by about an inch to prevent rubbing.  The rear is adjustable as well since I put in airbags.

Thanks for the advice.

I have 1.5" spacers on my truck whihc is lowered 2"/4".  I put the 1.5" on because I didn't want to trim the wheel bolts.  My wheels do stick out a bit more than I would like.  I have purchased 1" spacers but haven't been able to get the wheel bolts trimmed and the spacers installed.  I am ruuning the stock rims in the picture.  I don't have any pictures showing how much they stick out otherwise I would include them.

Thank you.  I can tell from that shot that they are out more than I would like as well.  Maybe I should do .75, in that case the website offers regular spacers as well and maybe its worth trying them so I don't have to trim the lugs.  I love those rims you have by the way.  I am worried that I will get major rubbing on the rear well rim if I hit a big bump.  my biggest thing is cutting the lugs though, makes me very nervous although I'm told they are easy to replace later.  Not sure.

I haven't had a rubbing issue on the top of the rear wheels.  On rare bumps it does have rubbing on the top of the front wheel wells.  Part of that is my front suspension on my 2" front drop.  I would have thought the same as you that with my 4" rear drop it would rub the wheel well but even with 285/45/22 wheels (stock size for my model) I don't have rubbing.
