Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Thanks Robbie. I just experimented with putting in 1/4 inch spacers and just had a single thread showing on my studs, so I can't go any thicker unless I come up with some longer studs.
Or as you say, ante up for some bolt on style spacers. That might be what I eventually have to do, but I'd like to avoid it if possible as that would likely put my wheels out beyond the fender as I only have about 1. 5inches to work with. If I could get a ~1. 0 inch gap at rest with 45psi, that would get the job done.
Anyone know of rims with a larger offset than the stock 5. 0? If I could find say 5. 5 and a 6. 5 wide rim, that may do the trick. Not quite an inch, but likely ~0. 75 inch. Even if I have to open up a bore or make a spacer with a flange to fit a larger bore, is OK. I'm hub centric now and haul heavy loads so I need to stay hub centric for safety reasons, IMHO. Buying two steel rims would likely be less expensive than steel spacers.
And if I have a flat on the outer wheel, no big deal. Just pull the 'special' rim and spacer and put on the std 255/stock rim spare.
