Wanting more aggresive stance

How much of a wheel spacer should I add if I already have 4.75” of bs?

 

That's up to you. How far do you want the wheels to stick out?
I'm in no position to tell you how to build your truck because what I think looks good may not match with what you think looks good. If I were you, I'd do a little more research on here and look at other people's builds. Looking at what other people have done and what it took for them to get there might help you decide on what you want to do on your truck. That's a more informed approach than asking a broad question where everyone will give you their opinion but it still may not be what you're looking for. It's a new member folly that we've seen time and time again. We want to be a welcoming site because there is a lot of useful information here but you'll have some homework to do as well.

Welcome aboard and good luck.

 

Thanks apprecite your input! Sorry for being the classic newbie!

 

This is my truck currently. The rear stick out further that the front I’m wanting bithe front and rear to stick out a little bit further than the rear currently does

 

This should help. Use a combination of both. New wheels or spacers will help obviously. Careful on measurements to avoid rubbing.

 

How wide are those wheels?

 

17x9

 

what. the. fuck?!?

freaking 3rd gen owners.

 

True story. Spotted in Santa Clarita

Like I said, what I think looks good does match what everyone else thinks looks good.

 

I'd go to a 4 or 4.25" backspace

For reference roughly 12.7mm=.5" , 25.4mm=1"

So for you to go to that you would need a 1/2-3/4" spacer

Offset is done in mm off the centerline of the wheel where backspace is the # of inches it is from the back of the wheel to the wheels mounting surface. So your current wheels have approx. a +6.35 offset

Hope that makes sense

 

Any idea how much trimming I would have to do if I went to 4” or 4.25” bs?

 

No clue my tires stick out about like yours all the way around I don't know why your fronts don't seem to be. I had to mostly trim a tiny bit of the inner fender in the front and some off the inside part of the flares not really noticeable unless you are looking for it. I don't hit my cab mount unless I am really flexed at full bump and turned sharply.

Trimming tends to be a case by case scenario so space them out and check etc.

 

This

Before I started or even asked any questions. I read a lot, now I have a little bit of an advantage as I was in the automotive field for 15 yrs or so as a tech. But there were certain things I wanted to know and know about products so I would research them. BTW I found using google for a certain question then having tacomaworld in the search resulted better results than the forum's search engine. I lurk and read more of people's builds product reviews etc than anything. I will give my input into stuff like this because I have a depth of knowledge with the subject.

 

Any idea why my rear stick out further than my front?

 

Happens on a traditional coil lift. The fronts will get "sucked in" so to speak.

 

No clue Tacoma's have the same WMS to WMS front and rear so unless your wheel offset isn't the same i have no clue

 

This is true but not horribly bad. mine isn't really noticeable

 

So for example if I were to figure out how much more the rear was sticking out that the front would I be able to correct it with a spacer if I was able to find the thickness I needed?

 

Correct! But the change in width within the arc/travel of the front suspension should not be nearly as much as yours looks mine wasn't

 

Buy a first gen!
