I've been reading on the various issues that have been found with the 1" and 1.25" spacers, like tire contact with the fender liners and wheel arches.
Has anyone experimented with thinner spacers?

I assume that the biggest headaches with these kinds of spacers would be getting them positioned correctly, given the use of lug bolts instead of lug nuts, and how that might affect wheel balance. I'm also assuming it means using longer lug bolts, or possibly looking into switching to a threaded stud lock-tited into the hub, with a true lug nut again...
My thoughts are that depending on available tires for the 17" trailhawk wheels down the road, it might be easier to switch to a 235/60-17 tire. That wouldn't require a whole lot more spacing (10mm approx) and there might be more tires available for offroad use in that size.
