Default spacers have u tried them?

wondering if i could mount rear spacers of 1/4 " inches, maybe 2 on each tire or that would be too much? may be 2 3/8??? , and one pair of 3/8" inches on the front....? what combination can i make?

I have the TRD rims and installed 15mm spacers, it looks better than having no spacers IMO but the problem is I need to shave my fender a little bit coz the fender and my tires are rubbing each other. i would suggetst to get just 10mm not more than that if you dont want to shave your fender. whether it is 10mm or 15mm. you definitely need someone to install it for you. coz you need to replace the stock wheel studs with longer ones to accomodate the spacers. otherwise your rims might go bye bye. lol

Has anyone installed wheel spacers on an XD? I am thinking about adding 10mm wheel spacers all around and am just wondering about the install. The rear install with the brake drum and the stud replacement is what I have questions about. Any input would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

i had 15mm wheel spacers all around. after a week, two studs got busted. it cost me $100 to install the wheel spacers. but when i decided to get rid of the spacers, they charged me $600 to repair/replace the hub(the one thats holding the studs), coz the stock studs is too loose. you can put 10mm on the back with no problem. but not on the front.
