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

Not yet, I put it on the backburner for now since I only graze the inside of the frame at full lock when my tires are aired down, so it isn't too bad. I do want to do it eventually though.

I knowyou can buy longer studs to install and I've also heard of guys using 2004(?) Toyota Matrix studs, apparently they're the perfect extra length

 

Anyone run 285’s on factory 2nd gen 17”s?

I feel like I’d need spacers.

 

Yeah I’ve got 35s so I’ve got a lot of rub on the frame everywhere. I tried the matrix ones they seemed to fat. I chewed up the threads on two of them and just couldn’t get them to fully seat in their for some reason. Maybe with an impact it would work.

 

What backspacing are your wheels? I don't think 1/4" spacers are going to do much for you. I have 2.5" total backspacing and I still rub the frame with 315's

 

yeah what Dan said. You're gonna need 1.25'' spacers minimum. Id just get 1.5s and call it a day.

 

Didn't realize you were on 35s, I rub my frame with 33s lol. My backspacing is no bueno

 

I have 1.25 spacers and I didn’t have as much clearance with them. Took them off and the tire fit much better but I’m just on the frame a little on turns. Only on the passenger side my drive side doesn’t rub frame though. My rims have 3.75 backspacing. I figured a small spacer would get me off the frame some

 

Ah with that backpacking I'd go for the .75 ones. Should be good

 

I’ll check some out maybe pick some up in a few days and try them.

 

I measured the thickness of the matrix studs they’re a tiny bit bigger then the stock ones but I managed to get one to work. Just a pain in the ass. You’ll have to get the AWD matrix one.

 

Heres my 265/70 on 2nd gen TRD wheels. Close to the knuckle with no spacers. Cant get my finger in between the two. Your gonna need spacers definetly.

 

I dont have the part number. Ill dig thru my stuff tonight after the toy run.

I think my rims are the same BS. But my rims are 10 inches wide. I rub on the passegner side only as well. Full lock. Im running 1/4 inch spacers other wise the rims touch the caliper

 

10" vs 8" wheel is a big difference

 

Did the Honda Odyssey windshield nozzle mod, legit.





Thanks to the peeps that experimented to figure this out.

The usual, ended up in the high country, 3 miles deep on a dead fall covered backpacking trail, balls deep snow.

Still fun though, back at it again tomorrow
