Wheel spacers

What are wheel spacers used for

Really mad daddy? No reason to be rude. Simple question, not everyone understands how certain things work or what they are used for

 

Wheel spacers push the wheel out a certain amount (depends on how big the spacers are) to give you more backspacing

 

I just put spacers on my taco. They attach to the hub and create distance between your wheel and the hub. Depending on the width, mine were 1.25", they move the wheel that far out. It pushes them out past the fender. You can also get new wheels with different offsets which accomplish the same thing without the need for the spacer. Some people don't think they are safe. As long as installed correctly, it's all good. End game would be using them to clear a bigger tire. I think you will also need a lift though. I had to trim my fender after I put mine on to stop some rubbing with stock tires. I'm going to install my lift this week and then get bigger tires when my current are bald.

Just answered his question with maximum efficiency. That's all

 

Could I put them on with stock suspension because I have stock wheels and tires. I like the look of a wider stance but I don't have the money for a lift right now
