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?
I have a 2018 z71 Colorado and it’s making this squealing sound. I’m thinking it’s a brake problem. But I researched it on YouTube and some say it can be the output shaft seal? Has anyone had the same problem?
Really great all terrain tire. In my opinion it's an in between tire, very aggressive all terrain / mild mud tire.
Bought my 265/60/18 from discounttiredirect.com for $580 shipped to my door.
I did a lot of research and reviews before finally making a choice. Every review from Amazon.com...
I've been wanting to put together an all inclusive thread that lists the basic lifting options with links to popular products as well as what tires are generally considered an acceptable fit. This will be a work in progress so if you spot errors or omissions please feel free to correct me. I...
Just ordered the Old Man Emu leaf spring setup from OK4WD for my Zr2. I was on the phone most of today with both ARB and OK4wd just to make sure all the part numbers would work on my setup. My main concern was being the Zr2 is lifted 2" over stock and the OME setup only lifts you 1". I did...
Anyone with experience regarding the 4" ZR2 BDS lift? My specific question is as follows:
The BDS product page (http://bds-suspension.com/product?ma=5&mo=69&ty=115&yr=2017-2019) shows different requirements for tire and wheel sizing when compared to the installation guide...
