For those running 1/4" spacers, did you install extended wheel studs? If so, where did you find them? If not, are you not concerned with the insufficient number of rotations you're getting on your lug nuts?
I've searched around a bit and not found any recommendations...

I do very mild off road driving - essentially driving around in the desert to get to shooting/camping spots. I think if I got into anything more serious I might look into different wheels. In your experience are spacers not a good idea for that sort of use? And what issues did you run into with...
