well I've heard potential rubbing issues with 1.5in spacer with stock 38mm offset, this would put me at 1.8in from stock? will that be to much and rub pinch weld or am I getting my math wrong.

You will have rubbing at 1.5” spacer. I have 1.25” but the 235’s.
As for you math, the stock offset is 38mm and you said “30mm offset. So gives me about 0.8in protrude”. If I’m following you correctly, you minimized the offset 8mm (38 to 30) and not .8”. But really, this is all moot for you if you plan to do 255’s.
well here's where my math was from, the wheel is 8in instead of the 7in so I thought maybe that calculated into more offset? but 21mm is 0.8in is where I was getting that from
Mine did need some trimming done and I also did way more trimming than needed to be done, just to make sure. Several of the areas I removed the felt, then even split the felt where the firewall is soldered so that it allowed more space. Every little bit helps! What you could do is buy some spacers (they are cheap), put them on one front wheel and turn it to see what you got. I love the stance it gives me and even rides better.
yeah I would give a 1/2in spacer a shot I think that could work, but I cannot find any at this time. LIke I said though not sure if I want to spend the money given that I just plan on bumping the tires up a size in the future ?
EDIT: just found these... opinions??? studs going to need trimmed?

Installed my new trailer hitch cover.
1) I agree if doing new tires in the future that don’t need spacers, stop thinking about them
2) 15mm or 20mm spacers should not need trimming or any other adjustments (CAVEAT: this is my understanding from all my reading but you have different wheels/tires so there is always a chance)
3) as for your two brands you posted, I am not familiar with them and they are much cheaper than companies like BONOSS. That doesn’t mean they are bad but I’d do my research! (at least search them in this forum to see if any feedback)

Oh cool! So I can order parts on there and it ships to my local Ford? I think I read something like that.
I'm coming from Honda where I could either order it from my local dealer OR order it from a website (usually a dealer that sells it cheaper than locally) and have it shipped to my home but it adds S&H.

Yep you can ship it to your house (you have to pay shipping) or you can select your local Ford Dealer and have it shipped there for free. But if you are using your points to buy it they will charge you for shipping.
Sounds good! I don't mind waiting a few days for free shipping.
I haven't decided what I wanted to do with my points. I saw they expire after 2 years and my dealer supposedly gave me 2 free oil changes. That will probably last close to two years so I'm thinking I'll need to use them for accessories.
I would suggest going with the Titan brand.
I wouldn't bother with anything smaller than a 1". Those would be like installing a washer and your studs could be too short unless you replace the studs with longer ones.
These are what I bought. Looks like they are on sale, but also sold out, but I've noticed that they come and go from stock. $120 for a full set. Check Amazon too. They stock that brand, but it's hard to find that bolt pattern a lot of times, that's why I went direct to Titan.

Not today, but this weekend I scratched the pillar plates on some branches, and then I got so much mud jammed up in the wheel wells that I'm not sure how I'll get it out.
Does that count?

Let it dry, then go jump over some speed bumps.

Whether or not the studs have to be trimmed is mostly a matter of wheel design. If the wheel has pockets between the lug holes, then you shouldn’t need to trim them. Of course if you go huge with the spacers then it doesn’t matter. If you go less than 20mm on the spacer then you probably need to get longer studs as the thinner spacers don’t have studs pressed into them, they are just a big washer with the hole pattern drilled into them.
