Wheel Spacer Problem

My lug studs on my 2016 Limited are 1 1/4" long , when I put a wheel spacer [1.5"] on , the nut only goes on half way , leaving half the threaded nut exposed . Im my opinion , that is not safe . Anybody else with short stud syndrome . I don't want to Loctite them because I plan to take them off and on due to dealer and Firestone maybe voiding my warranties [Firestone lifetime alignment] . Any help would be nice . Thanks .

 

correct, not safe! what do the studs come off of. i know on many vehicles if one get stripped they pound out maybe you can get longer ones and change them out?

 

All four = 2 front disc and 2 rear drums . I believe that they can be pounded out , somehow , but sounds like a pain . Damn , It looked so much better with the wide stance .

 

you need et lugs if that is not what on there. or if you want to you can get some longer studs.

 

Buy some spidertrax. Problem solved

 

What are spidertrax

 

that not the problem, any brand will work but as I stated et lugs are needed unless op wants to get longer studs.

 

I like to work on my truck myself , the process of putting on longer studs , is it hard ?

 

How do et lugs work ?

 

not hard but I believe on the 2nd and 3rd gen it a little pain in the ass because there aren't enough space behind the hub unlike our 1st gen. you can source out studs from a Toyota matrix since there stud are longer than tacoma.

 

This

or Bora

 

just like normal lugs but the shank part goes into the wheel spacer and grabs more treads. you are better off getting et lugs, less headache.

 

The et lugs what do they do ?

 

Thanks

 

Amazing I have full lug engagement without using some funky ass lug nuts.

you can source out et lugs at your auto parts store. btw et stands for "extended lugs" and you welcome.

 

yes but op didn't get what we all have so instead of returning or buying another set, et lugs will do the job for him.

 

How did I get [op] after my name . I don't want to be opey .
