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?
Was considering doing a lift block or shackle to bring my rear end up a bit and went to inspect the underside of truck and noticed my leafs are getting pretty deformed. I carry 2-3 dirtbikes maybe every couple weeks and have done a few thousand miles worth of towing with a small trailer...
Has anyone who installed the Eibach Pro Truck Kit had any issues and gone back to stock?
My 16 z71's front suspension was toast by spring 2018. I could no longer take the side to side head toss. That August I bought the Eibach Pro Truck Kit and had it installed at roughly 37 or 38K miles. I do...
There is a few threads / posts mentioning this tire size but I have not seen them fitted on a Colorado yet
Is anyone here running 255/80R17 tires?
BFG Cooper & the Nitto Ridge Grapplers to name a few have 255 80 R 17 tires available, figured someone would be surely running these by now

What is too much + offset and - offset on a stock truck? I am looking at a 16" rim that has a + 6 offset. I am not going to do any lifts or levels and the specs of the stock 16" wheels are 16x7.5 +33 and the aftermarket wheels will be 16x8 +6. Since this truck is new I plan on keeping the...
Quick question for those of you that have installed the Auto Spring 2" leveling kit. Did you have to fully remove the shock and trim the mounting bolts for the installation? The reason I ask is because this kit looks identical to the Performance Accessories 2" kit which requires complete shock...
