Anyone know what the max width wheel spacer you can put on a 2012 kk without having inner fender rubbing issues?

Looks great man. Did the 1.25 inch wheel spacers rub anywhere prior to the truck being lifted. I am not lifting mine yet. Plan on getting day star 2.5 inch kit. But for now I'm just wanting a more wider stance. I'm worried that 1.5 inch spacer will rub inner fender. Do u think it will on stock hight 2012 kk?
thanks for the reply.

I ran the wheel spacers before the lift and I was fine. I wouldn't go any wider. 1.25inch pushes the wheels out to be perfectly flush.
You're going to want to do your research before buying a Daystar lift. :2cents:

What trim level is your KK? My sport has the 16 inch rims. Not sure what would happen with the other sizes available on other trims...

You don't mention tire size or brand / type of tread, all of that has to be known as well before anyone can say yes or no on rubbing
PLUS forget the Daystar or any spacer lift
Fill out the information as well so we know what year you have etc, also makes difference

I am running spidertrax 1.5 inch spacers on stock wheels but with lift tough, it pushes the wheel even with top of the fender flares or slightly pass the flares it gives it more agressive stance, but steering radius is reduced and rode feels more stiff then before..
