What size spacer do people use in the front of these trucks to use the 17"x9" R/T wheels? I put mine on last night and noticed the hit the upper control arm.

it should fit with the dust covers off, mine did. Though its a bad idea, all you have to do is take a cut-off wheel to the excess threads at the end of the spindle and cut it clean off. Then hammer down the dust cover until its nice and flat and the caps will fit.

Nope, no pics yet. I still have the wheels off, I tried the spacers but hate the way it handles with them. I am going out to cut the spindle down and try to massage the dust covers.
I stuck one of the centers from the stock wheels (black center cap) and kind of liked it but it doesn't stay on so well. I think one good bump and they'd fly.

Its all preference. I use 255/50/17. BUT a 3 inch drop in the front and my tires hit the fender liners when hitting dips in the road.
