30mm is just the thinnest available spacer that doesn’t require trimming studs. That’s only 1.75mm thinner than a 1.25” spacer but when you’re already pushing the wheel past the fender, every mm counts.

Conflicting information here on requirements to remove hub or not…. UNBROKEN is the best expert on here, so I am taking what he says as most likely correct, and I will look myself ASAP.

or, maybe I will just use the Eibach 30mm ones, which UNBROKEN says don’t need stud change or modification.

UNBROKEN and others - not sure if I saw your view on this question: 1” vs. 30mm is about .1in difference, 30mm being around 1.1.” I doubt that is a visible difference, but it might be…. I know looks is subjective….. what comments does everyone have on 1” vs. 30mm?
No conflicting information, manual says to remove the hub, If you choose to take a shortcut it's on you.

I’d bet money no tech on the planet is pulling a hub when one whack with a ball peen will shoot them out the back. Been doing it like that for decades.
