Just putting out the options to see what feedback you guys have. Pros/Cons for each setup? I do not want to get spacers over 1". I know a lot of you run the 1.25" Spidertrax and recommend them. I've heard too much of rubbing issues and pushing the wheels further out isn't a good idea for other components. I'm leaning towards upgrading to 255|85R16 tires. The option to do 285s with the OEM LCAs would be very appealing.

Small spacers:
2x10mm spacers for front - $20
Longer front wheel studs - $100
Labor to install studs and cut to size - $80? (1 hour?)

Pros
-longer front wheel studs are nice
-very little change to the overall vehicle stance
Cons
-probably cannot upgrade to 285 tires with the stock UCAs
-longer studs might not allow removing the spacers (not a big deal)
-I've heard of poor quality in cheap, disk spacers (?)
-need to go have a shop do the stud-install work

Studded spacers:
4x25mm spacers - $80(ebay)-$130(Amazon)

Pros
-a little more stable stance, cool looks
-cheap
-enough clearance to run 285 tires with OEM LCAs if I want
Cons
-not factory quality studs
-possible rubbing issues?
-greater need for fender flares for mud flinging and the law

I'm kinda leaning towards the 1" spacers, because they give me the clearance to run 285s and I think it would look cool to have a wider stance with 255s. Any input?
