    It's good
    Put them on. You may rub the frame a bit but then you will know if it’s enough to care.

    0 offset 285/70/17 on method nv305

    before no spacer after with spider spacer 1.25.

    I did not end up running the spacer because it push the wheel out to far and required more cutting that I wasn’t comfortable doing myself. Spacer we’re on the truck for about 5min

    Rubbed the fender flares off the clips and inside supports

    you can see how much I’ve cut away already. Right up to the bolt. Iv since cleaned it up, you can also see the frame rub. Iv learned to live with the frame only rubbing at full lock to the left.

    Love the look with spacers it was just to wide and rubbed a lot.
    I noticed double cabs 05-06 and smaller wheel, wells and other years and AC

    It wouldn't surprise me. Not having an adjustable UCA like SPC's offering gives you a bit less flexibility in how you can triangulate things. My guess is that could be tuned out to avoid rubbing with an adjustable upper, but it's just that: Guessing.

    No issue with using spacers, as long as you understand what NOT to do after install, and making sure everyone else who touches the wheels knows they're on there and what NOT to do with them installed.

    Doesn’t make sense to me if that’s the case. Pushing the wheel out would give more clearance to the frame I would think.

    The frame rub is with no spacers. With spacers on you eliminate the frame rub but push the wheel out that you rip the fender flares off and rub around the body mount
