Wider stance options

[Shaun808]

I went with Borla 1.5 inch spacers with thread lock and torqued to 140 ft lbs. No rubbing and it gives the truck a good stance. View attachment 22682View attachment 22683

What size are your tires?

2021 Trail Boss LT with 2” spacers, stock factory rims, factory lift, no cutting and no rubbing. Gives the truck a nice wide stance

What brand of spacers?

I went with Wheel Accessories Parts 15mm hubcentric spacers all around. 6x5.5/6x139.7 bolt pattern, 78.10 wheel hub. M14x1.50 thread ET 1.80" long lug nuts. 4" suspension lift in addition to the factory 2" TB lift. Does not give it too much of a wider stance, but my purpose was to alleviate the rubbing with as much minimal stress on the CV's, tie rods, upper and lower control arms, etc. So, I found the 15mm spacers were perfect. The more negative offset, the more chance of rubbing the wheel wells because of the angle of the turning radius. This is why I went with the 15mm; it gives me enough clearance from the UCA as well as no rubbing issues. I am running 0 offset 18" aftermarket wheels (Rough Country Series 84) with BFG KO3 305/70 18 tires. I removed mudflaps when I installed the fender flares. With this setup, I had to zip tie the wheel well liner front and back and did have to do minimal trimming of the L/R corners of the front bumper (a little cutting with SAWZALL).

I'm new to this site but love the enthusiasm and information shared.

Here's my "issue" with my 2021 Trail Boss LT. I recently installed Falken Wild Peak AT4 285/70/18 tires and want to widen my stance. I also have wheel flares (not sure what style). I've watched video after video with all sorts of ideas/options. I would really like to not purchase new wheels as I like the original Chevy ones.

With the factory lift, is it better to try something like a 1 & 1/2" wheel spacer all the way around and will that clear all wheel well with the factory lift? I think the 1.5" is just right to match up with the flares. If I add the spacers, do I need to level the front end or is that just a recommended option?

Or ... do I spend the $ and get new wheels with a negative offset? I've heard -6 is good but as much as -12 was also mentioned.

Any thoughts/comments appreciated.

I wouldn't run spacers those factory wheels look good they just not neg offset so no matter the tire it not goin stick out much..Im same way I like the stock but don't wanna run spacers so eventually get more wheels probably around -18
