Hey everyone. So I put 285/55/20 Amp terrain attacks on a set of Ford 20's I bought. Everything fits on stock ride height, but I am VERY close to the upper control arm up front, maybe 1/4 to 1/2" of clearance between the two. I know I can do wheel spacers to bring out the wheel, but is it possible to find like a 1/4" thick plate that goes on the studs before the wheels instead of all out spacers?
Edit: or should I not worry about it as long as it isn't rubbing?
You can buy those 1/4”’spacers. I don’t know who sells them off hand but an internet search should help. But, if nothing is rubbing, you should be good.

Thanks for the reply. Custom offsets has a bunch of different spacers on their website from a couple mm on up to inches. Made in USA too. I guess I'll wait and see after this week. I'll pull the tires up front looking for evidence of rubbing and go from there. Like I said, I don't have much clearance but i do have clearance. Control arm front ends are new to me.
The distance between the upper arm and tire shouldn't change since they will move together. I had one vehicle that had about 1/8" between them and the never touched.
You could always try to find a way to compress one side completely to see how it looks.
