    Ok so I want my wheels to stick out for a more aggresive look. I dont want to get new wheels with a different back spacing, $$$$$$. I dont do alot of off-roading and am just lookin for the look. I have 265/75 16 with (stock wheels). will a 1.25 back spacing give me that look?

    I just installed my Spidertrax tonight and am very happy with the product and the resulting look. They were so neat in their bright blue glory I felt bad hiding them behind my wheel. Test drive resulted in the truck feeling more stable at speed and cornering a little flatter (nice since I have the Sport). If you buy from 4WheelParts you can nab the Spidertrax for 10% off which based on my searching is probably the best price you will find, and there is free shipping.

    Oh, and let me save you 1000's of threads and searching........Spidertrax are the best/most popular. Yes they are more expensive but the going opinion is that they are worth it! Having now held them in my hand and bolted them on, I would buy them again without hesitation.

    x2...wheel spacers. Just remember that you'll be placing more load on the axle, suspension, and CV joints because of the increased leverage. Also, they may be illegal in some states if they extend beyond the fender flares.

    i've been running All-Pro 1.5"F and 1.25"R spacers for a couple months and don't really have any complaints (the different widths basically even out the front/rear axle difference). the handling is good so far and the stance definitely looks better than stock! my tires are 265/75/16 also

    Remove your fenders like I did to make them look like they stick out more. Plus I got wheels with 3.6" backspacing to help also.

    Erik, that's what i was considering for a while. i have also thought that tacos just seem to look smaller when they dont have any fender flares (i have the large ones, which i like anyway)

    15" wheels wont fit on a 2nd gen though. If they did, you can buy wheels with a lot less backspacing than that.

    Run some quality spacers that have a good rep like Spidertrax

    Here's mine with 1.5" Spidertrax spacers and the ProComp rims have 4.0" of backspacing vs. 4.5 stock.

    Yeah I know I was just giving my specs to give him an idea of what offset and BS he would need to stick the tires out.

    Will these work on a 2WD Taco or must it be 4WD?
