I'm looking to run the ReadyLift 3/2 on my '16, but don't have any plans on replacing the rims when I go to a bigger tire. Does anyone have a reco. for wheel spacers so that I can run a 12.5" wide tire? I found some Rough Country 2" spacers, but 2"s seems excessive and I want to make sure I get quality ones, since they'll be holding my tires on.

Thanks in advance!

1. Readylift will only allow 11.50 wides on stock wheels so let’s start there.

2. If you plan on running 33x12.50 you will not need spacers. Plenty of people on here running Readylift and 33x12.50 with no issues.

3. If you want anything taller than 33s, you are gonna run into a bunch of rubbing and panel trimming issues trying to space it out enough for clearance. I see you have fixed running boards so that will be in your favor there cutting wise

4. I did some measuring to try to see what size spacer I need for 11.50 wides. Anything more than 1/2” and I will have to start cutting into electronic running boards, wheel well liners, and fenders.

5. For 35s, you will need a minimum of 1/2” to get the tires off the UCA. 3/8” is the maximum width for a spacer you can run on OEM studs with enough bite to sufficiently hold wheels on. So I’m gonna guess either 1.5”-2” adapter will be what you will need but from what Ive measured that may not be enough either to clear them without any rubbing or cutting.

If you want a good brand check out bora. Only company I would trust for adapters or spacers. Let me know if you have any other questions

So are you saying a 2" spacer will give me enough room for a 35x12.5" w/out cutting on the truck?

It’s gonna be iffy. You will probably have some minor rubbing and cutting involved. Check out custom offsets website, thousands of vehicles with all different sized tire/wheel combo. Ppl post all the cutting and rubbing issues hey had to do.
Just be careful bc no matter how good of quality an adapter you get you’re gonna put a lot more stress in the suspension components with that much heavier of a tire and being that far off the hub
