Default Wheel Spacer Help

I am very confused and would appreciate some help. I have a 2013 sport s. I heard that 1.25 inch wheel spacers will need cutting/trimming modifications to the factory studs but 1.5 inch clear it enough.

BTW- ill be running 315/70/17 hankook mt, on pro comp 7069 with 4.75 inch backspacing.

You shouldn't need spacers if using the pro-comp wheels you mentioned. Also, I'm running the Hankook's 315/70/17's, nice tires

There should never be any reason to trim the factory studs.....put down the sawzall.

Yup. Sawzall equals bad. Ha. You should not need a spaced. I do, however; due to back spacing issues on stock wheels. I run stock rubi wheels and spidertrax 1.5" spacers and 315/70/17 nitto trails. No rubbing
