Stock 21” wheels and tires. Seems everyone that’s putting on spacers goes 1.25” front and back. Front is wider from factory by .25” so why not do 1” front and 1.25” back? That would square up wheels and be more flush with fenders.

because then you need to cut your studs. if you want to square up the stance, then do 1.25" front, 1.5" back

I was hoping the extra stud length would fit into the machined out spaces between the lug mounting areas. Not deep enough I’m guessing.

I’ve never personally ran them but I’ve wondered the same thing. You could easily put something like Playdough in those voids then bolt a wheel up to see what happens. The intention the oem stud leaves will tell you everything you need to know.
