    I know there are wheel spacers for the Tacoma and that different rims sit further out then others but, this guy has his out the farthest I've seen on a 2nd gen tacoma. It's def. further then what the Spidertrax would put the wheels out.

    looks like a wide tire with a deep off set? also may have added spacers.

    id stick to the spidertrax or bora 1.25"... MAYBE 1.5". see if anyone already has a thread on wheel spacers and how wide they stanced out. I'm positive youll find something. And as far as my opinion on wheel spacers, I don't see the harm unless you are looking like they guy in your original post lol. wider stance = more stress on suspension components such as lca's and knuckles. never seen anyone have any major problems with them before though. just make sure they are installed properly. I posted a thread about spacers recently and theres really not much difference between getting spacers and getting rims with a smaller backspacing.

    i saw some trucks with both the 1.25" and the 1.5". the 1.5" appeals to me more. havent seen 2" yet.
