Does anyone know what size wheel spacers I would need to make factory wheels even with the factory fender flares? I have 17' inch stock rims

I think 1.5" will get you really close, but you'll have to cut the studs shorter to run that size. I ran 2" spacers and they stuck out a little

I used 1.5" in the front and 2" in the rear on my Denali with the factory 17" steelie wheels w chrome covers. I still have them if your interested in getting a set. I had them on for about 1k miles. They are hub centric spacers. If interested email me at gr86ss at Hotmail dot com.

Hey man, I was wondering where you got your front bumper and light bar or if it is a custom build?

So exactly what needs cut to run the 1 1/2 in spacers?I'm thinking of getting some.I would like to run 285/70/17 on my stock 05 hoe rims.

When you slide your wheel spacer on, the actual wheel stud from you hub will stick out farther than the spacer so you have to cut them a little shorter. Make sure that you screw your lug nut on the stud and then cut, that way when you unscrew the lug nut, it'll straighten any threads out that get messed up.

I'm running 1.5" spacers on my Yukon and did not have to trim the studs. My wheels have little pockets on the back of the wheel for the protruding studs to stick into. I know not all wheels have this though. 1.5" sit perfect IMO

Countryboy07 that's deadly!!! What you are doing is allowing the weight of the truck to sit on the studs not the hub. Eventually the stud will break off and the wheel will fly off! Pull your wheels off now and you may notice the studs break while removing them. You don't want even a sheet of paper to slide between the hub and the wheel. Imo from my experience its mandatory to grind the studs for 1.5. You will be sorry if not.
