I've looked through like 8 different spacer threads on here and can't find a definitive answer. Really want to get the tires flush without trimming the studs and avoiding rubbing.

Z71 wheels have indents where the studs would poke through almost as if made with spacers in mind lol.
If you're looking for flush, 1.5 is the better size if you have factory flares. Mine has flares and 2" spacers and the tread is just inside the flares with just the sidewalk bulge poking a hair outside the flares. If you don't have flares, 1.25 should work for you.
Here's mine with only a 1.25 level and 2" spacers no rub at all. Can't see them rubbing at stock height either.

Amy driveability or warranty issues with these? I plan on buying good ones but don't want any issues. I've owned like 6 trucks in my life but never considered spacers. These trucks just look like they need them though.

As long as you get hub centric, good quality spacers, you should be fine. Mine drives just like stock and feels more planted/wide. If something does come up regarding warranty and you have doubts about it, take them off before you bring it to the dealer.
I have 1.5 bora spacers on my canyon with OEM flares, with factory 255 goodyears and they are flush. I want to go to 1.25 spacers so when I go to the 265/70/17 tires they wont stick out at all. I like them flush, if not a tiny bit in. But I have a canyon, the colorado is different...
Not sure about the Z71 wheels, but my Trail Boss wheels and DuraTracs worked excellently with a 1.25" spacer. No lift or leveling kit.
Only rubbing I am getting is at full lock there is some against my WeatherTech mudflaps. Not enough to be of concern though.
With my DuraTracs and factory flares that put the sidewall of the tire just out beyond the flare. I didnt want to get beyond teh fenders as I dont want crap thrown up off the tires onto the side of my truck all the time. I ended up having mine powder coated black so they were less noticeable behind my black wheels.
The key is to check the backside of your wheels and see if they are grooved or indented all around...this will allow the ends of the studs room to sit without having to shave them off.

Ya those weathertech flaps have very little when clearance even considering everything else is stock. Who do your powder coating? Called a couple of places downtown the other day and nobody answered the phone. Another one of my buddies said there's a place down in Spring Hill that does a good job.

Not off the top of my head, most manufactures offer them specifically for these trucks, I just searched my yr/make/model truck on eBay and many brands came up including the popular bora brand. Should come the correct size.

I installed the BORA 1.25" (did not have to trim the studs) and this put the sidewall just inside the fenderwell with OEM flairs. tires are stock 265-65/17 Duratracks and had zero rubbing. I then installed the BORA 1.5" and this put the sidewall just outside the fenderwell. I also have Eibach leveling shocks. Pictures show stock, 1.25" and 1.5", note the step bar. Anyone interested in some BORA 1.25" spacers?
So, what winter tires are you folks running? I am in the mountains of Northeast PA and dead set on getting a pair of 16" winter tires mounted on a set of steelies. Note: I have no intention of running any AT tires during the winter.
Right now, I have my eye on General Grabber Arctic tires, as...
Would these tires fit on the 2019 Z71 Crew Cab? See the image below where the stock tire is listed on the left, and the proposed tire is on the right. Thank you so much. This is very confusing for people who have never leveled or lifted a truck before. Reading through the mountains of info...
I am looking to put a leveling kit in my 2016 Canyon CCSB V6. Initially I just purchased the RC 2" kit and planned to put the recommended 265-70 R17 tires (probably DuraTracs-31.7") on with the stock wheels. I ran into an issue installing the kit after disassembling everything. The coil...
So I've got my 2016 CCSB Z71 Colorado sitting on a Rough Country 2in×1in leveling kit. I'm running 265/75/17 with Fuel Hostages. I'm wondering if anyone on here has tried taking that truck to leveling kit ratio and tried running 35s or something wider that 8s. Thanks in advanced
I want to hear from anyone who has the BDS 5.5" lift installed and specifically what exact wheel/tire combination that works as designed without rubbing in the wheelwell liners/fenders or bumper.
I'd like to do this to my 2018 crew cab Z-71 gasser but do not want to have any problems with...
