Quick tip on the bars. By removing the plastic cover over the bars then loosen the 2 crash bar bolts and retorque them while holding away from the tire i was able to gain over 1/4 inch of clearance to the tire.
That trick gave me almost a half inch and got rid of the rubbing. :fistbump:

I have a set of 1/2" spacers I had made by Bora. If anyone is interested, let me know but understand these are spacers, not adapters. They don't have studs on them and you will have to lengthen the studs on the wheel hub to use them
Where did you get the lengthened wheel studs from? And how much clearance do you have with a 1/2 inch spacer between the steering knuckle and tire?

I didn't install them. I went with the 1.5" wheel adapters instead.

I have 265/70/17 with 1” spacers. I wouldnt go any further due to rocks and debris thrown on the side of the truck. My left tire is also rubbing the front crash bar when I turn right.

I don’t have a lift or level.
Ok thanks. I have a 3in level on mine.
And have fabtech 1in spacers that I need to install. I have the optional 265-65-17 tires on mine. Want to put 285-70-17 on

With 285/70/17 on stock wheels, you can get away with just a 1/4" spacer. That's what I'm running.
What tires do you have? And did you have to mod the crash bars? And are you running a level lift?

Ok so I have a question. I have a Lariat FX4 truck on 265/60/18s. Im not going to lift or level it for a while. I just ordered some TA/KO 265/65/18 cause there in inch taller and more aggressive than the Hankooks. Could I put a one inch spacer on with the 265/65/18s and be ok?

I have the same overall diameter tires and the offset of my wheels pushes them out just over and inch and I had to adjust my crash bars. Not remove, but you can loosen them and push them forward about 3/8 of an inch and tighten them back down. Zero rubbing since!
