Default Best wheel spacer option?

Apologies for asking a common question, I did a search and there were plenty of threads talking about offset and thickness, but not really the brand. Are most people who go with the 30mm spacers using the TerraFirma set?

I'm about to pull the trigger on these but if there's a better option I'd love to hear it. Thanks!

Why would you want spacers? The Defender handles great the way it is? Also, check if adding spacers could void your warranty.

Usually spacers will not void your warranty. I have thought about getting spacers in the past and after speaking to a tech at my dealer, they have had multiple Defenders come in with spacers that have damaged the hub, and since that was caused by the spacer, it wasn't covered under the warranty.

I've run spacers on a bunch of cars in my life (I'm old) and never had an issue, including on purpose-built off-road trucks that I've wheeled the hell out of. I have no issue with them and have never had any dealer care enough to mention a warranty.

In this case I have the arch kit and would like to push the wheels out a bit so it's all flush. I'm having my wheels powdercoated and it's an opportune time to put the spacers on as well. It's an inexpensive way to make my Soccer Dad Mall Crawler look a little tougher, and I am here looking for any opinions from folks who've had various brands.
