Default looking to get wheel spacers

now I read some posts on pros and cons about getting wheel spacers. I dont know what wheel offset to get that would be good for my truck.. I plan on getting a leveling kit so I can thow on some 35's. Now I dont go offroading alot, just for hunting season. So I am asking where could I get hubcentric spacers, I couldnt get any good results on the net search. Or what offset would be good so I can throw some 35's on it without and wheel rub?

ive got 305/75 on stock 17s (33x12.50) i have 1.5" spacers hub-centric gottem off ebay.. i think for all 4 it was like around $120. no rub. i dont suggest 35s on 20" wheels but if theyre mostly for show youll be ok
been offroading alot and havnt had any problems.. i retorque them every oil change and after the first 500 miles of use..

I am running 35's on factory 20's with 1-1/4" spacers. I also re-tourqued at about 500 miles then every 5-6k when rotating tires. I also have been offroad and had no issues. BUT 35's will rub on inner fender wells while turning. Mine do not hit any metal, but they do hit the plastic. if you go 33's you wont have any issues.

Keep in mind if a spacer fails (breaks) you are in deep doo-doo....

the extra price is more than likely worth it!
