Rock Crawlers

what size spacer is necessary size spacer to fit 15x8 rockcrawlers on a 2001 4x4 tacoma? And would 32x11.5 fit with no lift?

 

If they require spacers, you'll need at least 1/4" spacers and with those, I would recommend 1/4" longer studs. You could also go with the thicker spacers(spidertrax) that bolt on and have studs built in.

My guess is yes, you will need spacers for those 15" wheels.

 

they hit the caliper...

 

1/4" spacers at least. I had 15" Cragars that hit the caliper.

 

what size spacers are you running? whats you backspacing? I am actually trying to figure this out for a buddy, he ordered the wheels, they told him they would fit fine but they hit the caliper...

 

1/4" spacers. The wheels were 15x8 and I think the B.S. was 4". The spacers are only needed for the front. Alot of guys don't like those thin cheap spacers, but after a year, I didn't have any problems.

 

his back spacing is suppose to be 3.75...where your lugs long enough?

 

If you mean studs, I would recommend longer ones. I didn't get longer ones and didn't experience any problems, though. Make sure he has the conical lugnuts. The shaft style lugnuts from the alloy wheels won't work.

 

he had the 16 inch alloys, so i'd say he needs to replace the studs...any idea where to get them?

 

You(he) can get lugnuts just about anywhere that sells autoparts. Shop around. As for studs, talk to the parts guy at the dealership. If you replace the studs, you'll want ones that are a little longer than the original to make up for the 1/4" of spacer.
