You have 1in wheel spacers? Pretty sure there's enough room in the recess behind your stock rims for the stock studs to go into without bottoming, but you may wanna check it to be sure.
Sounds like your toe needs to be adjusted, do you have an alinement print out?

So, no printout on what your toe was before and after alinement? Just him saying it was fine?
If they did an alinement, I'd ask for the spec sheet.

Rotational as in rocking it is normal and it'll clunk when it gets to the end of movement. I take it your grabbing it and twisting it forward and back, that's normal. Straight up and down play or straight side to side, not normal. It's not moving straight up and down , is it?
