I had my rear Firehawk rims widened to 10.5" and I'm wondering if a 1.25" spacer will be enough. The site I'm about to buy from has 1.00", 1.25", 1.50", and 2.00"+ spacers. The tires I bought are 315/35ZR-17 Goodyear F1 G3-DS. I'd like to avoid using a big hammer, avoid fender rolling, and avoid having the tires even with or sticking out past the top of the fender.

For ride height I currently have "SLP's" Bilstein shocks and OEM rear springs. Within the next couple of weeks I'll have Konis and the ProKit or "SLP's" Eibach springs, depending on which pair looks better. The fronts will be changed from SLP Bilstein/Eibach to Koni/ProKit.

TIA!

why do you want to use a spacer then? That would just push the wheel out 1.25"

It was my understanding that you had to when putting on wider rims.

Yes, you will have to when widening your stock rim. On rims like the TTM's where it is already 10.5", the offset is "custom". Widening a stock rim places added length to the inside part of the wheel which will run into the body well.

Considering that the factory size is 9 inches and you widened to 10.5 - that's a 1.5 inch difference. If you are adding a 1.25 inch adapter, that leaves .25 of an inch that'll fill in the gap between the tire and the wheel well. I'm sure a 1.25" adapter will suffice. Jus' to be sure, measure the current distance. I'm sure the stock dimensions leave plenty of space though.
