Default spacer???
What size spacer do you have to have to put a 37" 12.50" 17" on a stock wheel and not rub the top link?

You need a lift not Spacers. With the spacer you can fit 35's with a little rub when turning.

He'll need a lift 'and' wheel spacers...

Browse the FAQ's, if you haven't already.

They talk about lift needed for various tire heights, backspace needed for running wider tires, wheel spacers, etc.
