1/4" IMHO dont use. its just a piece of metal that goes in-between the wheel and hub. 1.25 doesn't look bad. If you want the wheels fitting under the truck perfectly then its just not gonna happen. You should get new wheels.

I used 1/4" spacers just to stop the wheel from rubbing the upper arm and it worked fine. i definitely wouldn't use anything bigger than 3/8" because of the stress on the studs. I disagree with the thought of just getting new rims. I like my factory 20" rims and don't like the look of most after market rims.

Romeosoldier03 has 1.25" spacers on factory 20" wheels. In the search box for this forum, type "ROMEOSOLDIER03" and his posts will come up with pics of his truck. It looks awesome with the spacers and the 36" Iroks

im not going with the huge spacers, but i will get the 1/4" spacers. i just need it to clear the control arm and suspension pieces.

and ya i forgot, romeo has factory wheels. he needed the 1.25" spacer to clear the 13.5" wide tire.

hows the tread wear on your xtreme a/t's?

One thing I can tell you about the Pro Comp Xtreme A/T's are that they are very quite on & off the highway!

As far as tread wear, only had them for a day...

I am looking for 1/4" wheel spacers...Can anyone send me a link of a good heavy duty one? I will be towing a trailer and don't want those spacers going out on me with the Toy Hauler behind! [:-]

Also, am I looking for 5 lug on 5.5 bolt pattern? And what tread / studs am I looking for?

Thanks...

Thanks Oefootball_07...

Why do you say (in your opinion) don't use spacers?

My main concern is to get the strongest spacers, weather it be the 1/4", or the 1.25" spacer that has another set of lug nuts, to support the towing of the trailer...

Any suggestions?

Also, if I go with the 1.25" spacers with lug nuts, how much more "Out" will it bring the tires???

Thanks...
