What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Believe he is on 296/75r16 with stock wheels and 1.25" spacers.

 

Currently running Hankooks in the 295/75r16 variety on stock wheels with an inch and a quarter wheel spacer.

Planning on picking up another set of the same tires shortly, and I have these waiting to go on which on 4" BS:



Might swap the 1.25" spacers to .75" to keep me at the 3.25" backspacing that has been working out well.

I've been tempted to make the jump to 315s, but can't quite bring myself to go through all the effort. Plus my rig has taken me everywhere I've wanted to go and then some in its current state.

 

Any reason you want custom ubolts instead of a pair from wheelers?

 

Thanks, Brett. Those Ray10s are so damn nice!

What brand are the spacers?

 

Spidertrax.

 

I just want to make sure they'll be long enough I guess, I dunno, just getting a price right now. I'm sure they'll be at least 50$ soo I guess we'll see.

 

The wheelers set is $30 for everything and you can get them up to 9.5" long. How much longer of bolts do you need?

 

Well that's what I don't know....

 

Remember that you can always cut longer bolts but can't lengthen short ones.

I'd wait till you get your springs, compare the thickness of them, and order appropriate ubolts...stock are 6.5", so if the new springs are an inch thicker order 7.5" at the minimum.

 

Thanks Jimmy....thats where i got the idea from.....


I hear your rig is almost ready

Im siliconing the small holes and finding plugs for the bigger holes

 

Buy longer. Cut as needed.

 

12.5" wide tire on stock 7" wide rim? The internet would have me believe that thats not exactly ideal. See any issues with the fitment?

I like my stock rims and would like to put 35-12.5-15 tires on aswell.

 

I'm hoping they'll tell me what length I need, they'll know because they made the springs. Then just buy those.

 

Not a 12.5" wide tire. More of a 12". But it is pushing the limits.

 

They will know, just buy them from them.

 

I sent back the info they asked, just go from there I guess.


Good news is my springs will be done this week hopefully

 

I meant but from wheelers.

 

You ordered form alcan right? What was the customization like as in lift and carrying capacity. And if you don't mind a price too. I like my OME Dakars but might need something with more capacity and lift in the future with the tent rear bumper etc...

 

Springs from them are 700 a pair before shipping. Give or take 20-50 bucks.

 

Monte's here, I won't say it.
