Sure thing.Pics??!?!
Not perfect lighting my any means but just saw the reply. I’ll try and snag some better ones not in the garage.

Take this as it's coming from an old guy with a bad memory (because it is) but I thought someone had some contact at full droop with that spacer. That may have been a one-off but pushing it even further down may not give the desired results.Hey Guys, Im planning on adding the Pro Comp 2.5" leveling spacers on my Temor and am also thinking about 1.5" spacers... What are your thoughts on the spacers? Adding 3" in overall width could be a problem but im not going on trails so... Thoughts?
Are you reffering to the wheel spacer? So by pushing out the wheel the additional 1.5" the tire could come in contact with the truck?Take this as it's coming from an old guy with a bad memory (because it is) but I thought someone had some contact at full droop with that spacer.

Given that you are building a mall crawler, you'd probably be fine. 1.5" is the equivalent of changing the offset by -38mm and are basically giving yourself a +5mm offset on the stock wheels. I'm willing to bet you'll be fine unless you start going too wide on tires.Hey Guys, Im planning on adding the Pro Comp 2.5" leveling spacers on my Temor and am also thinking about 1.5" spacers...

Crap....for some reason I was thinking 43mm, got stuck on Raptor wheels. @Yeti is right....you'd actually be sitting at an equivalent of -4mm with the stock wheels.^ this but you're in negative offset territory. Our stocks wheels are 34mm. That said, further out may give you the right space to clear the fenders. That tire is going to swing a lot, though.
Did you end up doing it? I’m in the same boat, I like a little wider stance (slightly out past wheel wells). Curious to see pics of one with stock wheels and tires and 1.5” wheel spacers.Hey Guys, Im planning on adding the Pro Comp 2.5" leveling spacers on my Temor and am also thinking about 1.5" spacers...

I’m in the same boat. Garage full of goodies minus the truck.I bought all of the parts… if only I had a truck to install of my gear on!

The only thing that converter is missing is the wheel width, wheel width will change offset calculation. I have 9" wide Black Rhinos on mine with a +12mm offset and personally love the look. A little poke without the bro look.Yeti,
With the stock wheels at +34mm offset, does this logic make sense? Looking to snag these Black Rhino wheels with +12mm offset. I currently have BFG 35x12.50 r18's with stock wheels.

Gonna need some lift, up front. I seem to remember others have a bit more poke and are still fine with a lift. I'll bust my calc out when I get a chanceYeti,

So those fit with no rubbing and no level? The reason I ask is I’m really considering new tires as I had a flat this morning and I’d like to get 295/70R18 if they’ll clear without a level and without issueJust had some Mickey Thompson 305/70R18 installed. Tire guy said they wouldn't fit. They did. Now I'm trying to decide what offset of wheel I can fit....the math here hurts my brain.
Pretty sure neither of those will fit without a level, or they will rub. I'm getting the 295/70r18 and I'm leveling beforehand.So those fit with no rubbing and no level?

They will probably rub. The question is when. I.e. will they rub during street use or only on trails.So those fit with no rubbing and no level?

Thank youThey will probably rub. The question is when. I.e. will they rub during street use or only on trails.
Assuming with a level? In the tire I’m wanting the 285/75 is actually a couple of pounds heavier than the 295/70. Taller is really what I’m after, but I’m just trying to figure out how much bigger I can go with zero clearance issues in any situation. I have full intentions of leveling it but I’m not satisfied with the current leveling options available. I know once it’s leveled I will prefer to size up the tires. I was hoping I could size them up before the level because at this point I’m going to need tires before a leveling system I want is available.I’m eyeing the tire size of 285/75r18 to go on the stock wheels. This is ALMOST a 35” tall tire (most are in the 34.8” range) - so about an inch and a half bigger than factory, they are load rating E, and only about a half inch wider than factory tires.
I feel like they’ll mount and stay mounted to the narrower factory wheels better and provide better tracking / handling, as well as clear without rubbing easier than 295’s, 305’s, etc. Plus, they’re lighter (better performance stopping, starting, handling, mileage) than the bigger / wider tires.
Now, if you’re looking for the look of ‘big ol meats’ they won’t get you there. But they should be a noticeable bump in diameter, which increases ground clearance, and helps fill the wheel well a bit.
