    Does it contact the face of the caliper? Is it minot enough you can just have your caliper or get really thin spacers

    @Sperrunner It does contact it so I dont understand. Also If i get shorter than an inch spacer I will have to trim my wheel studs.

    Where does it hit on the caliper when you put the rim on without spacers

    Yeah I have 17x9 no way it was going to clear. I also only have about 2.5". I'm also running a 1.25" wheel spacer.

    Nice man we have the same truck basically. I wish mine would work, but nothing has so far. I have already cut 1.5" out of the fender and flare and done the pinch weld mod. Im still rubbing at full turn.

    They are the cut out style which i think has you cut out like a 1” of the fender which will probably be perfect for you
