Hello I purchased some egr fender flares for my 2019 5.3 premier Tahoe. Because of this I wanted to add some wheel spacers to my truck to give it a better stance. Can anyone recommend which studs I should go with and which spacer brand?

Most will run an aluminum spacer and be fine...
I am not a fan of this or of a heavy offset wheel as it just multiplies the stress through the ball joints and steering

Research scrub angle and you will see what I mean...

Hands down the best spacer out there is this

To add on to what @STORMIN08 posted, wider is not equal to better.

Mine is lifted and big rubber, and I’ve taken pains to select wheels and tires to minimize the scrub and keep the geometry as close to OEM as possible.

No doubt others have different opinions, given what you see on the street.

there is a relation of SCRUB to TIRE HEIGHT, so you can add a slight offset with out to much ramification...but you do need to research or possibly drive a similar setup first.
