Wheel Spacer Question

Wheel Spacer Question
My truck is lifted 2.5" in the front with a Rough Country level, and a 2.5" block in the back. I just bought a set of 35/12.50/20 BFG All Terrains for it because I really wasn't liking the gap in the wheel well I was getting with the 305/55/20 Terra Grapplers. I didn't use a spacer, even though there was slight rubbing when I cut it in U-Turns, but I feel like I will definitely them for these tires, maybe even in the rear too. What are y'all's thoughts on spacer size (1.25"-2"?) and would I need some in the back as well? Thanks.

You should be fine in the rear with no spacer, but adding a spacer up front is just going to move the rubbing from one place to another and you'll end up having to cut and trim a decent amount most likely. A narrower 35" tire would've been a better choice, but because it's an a/to there's no huge side lugs so that'll help some.

How much rubbing is going to be where I can't really say, every truck is different.
However I don't recommend spacers, they're inherently dangerous and need to be regularly checked. Plus for the price of a good set your already a 1/4-1/2 way there for a new set of wheels with the right offset/backspacing.
