Default 1.25" spacers

i just picked up sum 1.25" spacers for my heep.

problem is, the ad said 1.5" , but when i got home they turned out to be 1.25"


stupid me, ya i shoulda mearured when i picked 'em up, but................

my question is will i run into MAJOR issues when i upgrade to the planned 35x12.5x17 tires, i don't see .25" making a big deal difference, but you never know?

if you keep these, you will need to grind down your wheel studs as they will prevent you from mounting your wheels flush.

already mounted them, there were no issues with them. the studs were below the spacer.

i don't see how the studs would be a problem. there is a void/space between the mounting holes on the back-side of the rim. the protruding stud would sit in that space. would it not?

i'm just curious about the tires rubbing when i upgrade.
