Wheel Spacers

Looking to add spacers to my 2021 Limited with the 22" wheels. It seems like everyone is only using 1 size spacer for all four wheels. My issue with this is the track width is different between the front and the rear:

Front track (")
68.5
Rear track (")
68.1

In order to keep things even, I'm looking to go 1.5" up front and 2" in the rear, especially since there's mention of rubbing up front with 2". Does anyone know if the studs need to be cut up front with 1.5" and stock 22" wheels?

Don’t think so. Most stock wheels have cutouts to compensate for stud length

Yep, as others stated no stud trimming with 1.5" spacers. I went with that all around...Now kinda wishing I went 2" all around...Seems to be common wheel spacing for our Rams, and all the pics of look really good.

I just installed 1.5" wheel spacers on stock suspension. Had to trim the front husky mud flaps I have on the truck, but nothing else.
Please post a picture of this. I did 2in and they rub. Looking to adjust but lost on how to do it. Thanks

Little dirty from the recent snow, but should give you an idea. There's a raised circle that I trimmed just to the side of and then straight down taking out the "bulge" where it was rubbing.

Seriously? lol, I should have looked closer before taking my spacers off. Looks like I know what I am doing next weekend. It's 88 today and tomorrow here. Opening pool to keep kids busy.

Haha, just bought 1.5in spacers on Amazon and I must have had a grey moment, they were a set for all 4 wheels but I already put 2in on the rear so now I have an extra set. Shipping would suck for cost or I would sell them. Maybe I can do local to central Florida? They will be installed soon and I will report any rubbing. The 2in certainly rubbed up front.

Just picked up the 1500 Mopar beadlocks.. I’m curious if 35X12.50’s will touch the Upper Controls Arms...

I’m not sure my tires are 12.8” wide so that could be the difference + the TRX suspension is totally different 3” wider on both sides

I have 2 bora 1 1/2" inch spacers with barely 100 miles on them. I did not like the additional poke so I bought 1" instead if anyone wants to buy them.
