    I have a 98 tacoma with manual locking hubs. I understand I need lug centric wheel spacers for the front. Do I get hub centric spacers for the rear then? Also what size should I get? 1.25 or 1.5? I have stock 15x7 alloys with 32x11.5 tires. They rub slightly in the front at full turn right now.

    My understanding is that you need hub centric both front and back. There are acorn style lug nuts that also help to center the lugs, but the hub centric is more important.

    Everywhere that i've read online says that hub centric spacers will not work with manual locking hubs...

    Your above assumption is correct. Get lug centric spacers for the front so they'll slide all the way through on your front hub. For the rear, get hub centric ones so you'll have a little lip for the wheel to snugly mount on.

    For size, just decide if you want your current wheels to stick out another 1.25" or 1.5".
