The further your tires stick out the more wear and tear there will be whether less back spacing or spacers. Additionally, a 37 inch tire will add a lot more strain on your balljoints amongst other parts.
I had the RedRock 4x4 spacers before the new wheels and they were every bit the same specs as the more expensive spacers other than color. Not a single issue in the year that I had them on and not a single negative review on WF either. RedRock 4x4 1.5 in.

The spacers shouldn't make a difference. All they really do is move the wheel further out.. My 2016 manual specifies 100 ft/lbs. (I'm guessing your 2018 manual should say the same). I have 1.5" Spidertrax spacers and use 100 ft/lbs..
All bottles are Red but the color of the thread locker is different. The color code is printed on the packaging as well as the product number. The red code is Locktite 263 and that is the strongest. I would not use that. The blue is 243 which is a medium strength and there is a purple which is lower strength. IMO, blue is the best choice.

Seems this are the two that have the best rep Spidertrax appears to only come in 1.5" while BORA comes in a variety of sizes. It seems like perhaps 1" or 1.25" would be ideal on a stock rim.
So, they suggested new wheels and use my existing tires. 4 - 1.5" spacers installed will be roughly $330. Seemed high but I specified SpiderTrax spacers since I read the cheaper ones are...well, cheaply made. The estimate they gave me for 5 wheels is $1,325 which is far more than I wanted to spend at this point.
SpiderTrax or TeraFlex are the most popular. As already stated retorque is supreme importance for both spacer and wheels. Using locktight on the spacer nuts is a must, but when you retorque the spacers, check the torque at 5ftlbs less then the original torque so you don’t break the locktight loose while checking them.
