That looks familiar

I would NOT use washers to space a wheel out. That is a TERRIBLE idea!

Lmao. No guys I was using the washers to get an estimate to order spacers lmao. Cmon guys!!! But foreal. Nobody use washers.... With 13/16 I couldn't thread the nuts on their. But it looks like I'll be ordering 1" spacers as it looks the wheels will not stick out.

I have 1.5" on mine and have enough clearance with my 325 tires. At 1" you will need to either get really long wheel studs or cut yours off and use the ones on the spacer, depending which spacer you get. I would just run the 1.5" my tires dont stick out any.

Well the area you have to worry about is around the middle part of the tire due to where the leaf spring is. I suggest 1.5" for simplicity in mounting and make sure you have enough clearance.

Ill wait and get the tires mounted n rough estimate with the washer prior to ordering spacers. But I imagine 1.5 won't be too bad.
