    Hey yall, recently bought some new wheels and tires for my first-gen taco but would like a bit more offset. I want to get 1/2 spacers but am concerned because they don't make 1/2in ones with studs because they are too shallow. they only start to make the ones with studs 1in and up. My question is that if I get the 1/2in ones, will I have a safe amount of thread left for the lugs? what do yall think?

    Welcome to the forum. You should absolutely not use spacers that don’t bolt to the hub assembly. Any sort of floating spacers with no studs are dangerous and most all tire shops will refuse service. So you need full 1” spacers with studs or different wheels.
