A few things…
If you look closely at the pics, you will notice that the studs do not protrude past the 1.25” spacers at all (especially on the rear)
I probably could have gone with a .75” spacer and still been good because the stock SAS wheels have a hollow between the holes on the back side.
If your aftermarket rims are 0 offset, then you already have the same amount of poke that I achieved with my 1.25” spacers.
(Factory SAS are -32mm, the spacers bring them out to 0mm)
Hope that helps.

Thanks, yes that does help. Correct, the aftermarket wheels don't have the void in them to allow a little wiggle room. With my lift and the 37's (IMO) with my zero offset wheels it has that "mail jeep" look (not really but to me) so I just wanted a little poke and to me a little more stability. I don't what that "oh lord that looks stupid look" so the smaller the better but I haven't found anyone to tell me really if any stud has to be trimmed on the 1.25 spacer.

When I talked to BORNE Off Road they told me the smallest I could go without trimming studs was 1.4 which by your pix isn't true which is why I am so confused. In the end I am looking for only a total of 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch of poke, not the Carolina squat poke goofy look. Slightly more aggressive but not where someone would say that looks stupid with spacers.

Kind of a catch 22. I love my wheels but they only make them in a zero offset so a spacer would be my only option.

Just wondering if anyone has added any size wheel spacers to a SAS package on the Bronco. It should give it a little more aggressive stance. Just wondering if this would make the tires rub? Also if they do rub I'm guessing a leveling kit might take care of it.
1” Mishimoto. No rub. 35s
