    Hey guys new to the group and looking for some help on the best solution.

    I have a 2020 TRD OR 4x4 with 6112’s with 285/75/16 on stock wheels.

    No rubbing anywhere really but the UCA.

    Happy with my stock wheels for now so wondering if new UCA would fix this?

    I know wheel spacers will help move the tire away and most people are not a fan and to use a trusted brand like spider trax.

    What’s the best fix here?

    If you want to keep the +25 offset wheels, you will need to get minimum spacers to keep a clear full turn. 3/4" bolt ons are the smallest bolt ons, I am aware of. BORA makes a 10mm (<1/2") slip on spacer but you need to replace the front lug bolts with longer ones.

    tubular uca like icon will clear. some like spc and jba will not. a 3/4" bora spacer is the best route. start going any wider and your wheels will be rubbing the body.

    Thank you I wasn’t aware of the 3/4 size offered by Bora.

    I was going to get some spidertrax 1.25” but that will probably fix the one issue with the UCA but then cause another issue because I’ll probably start hitting the cabmount and need a chop.

    I would get a 1/2" spacer and get extended studs. You can always get a tubular UCA. Is it rubbing at lock in reverse?

    One thing to consider with the thickness of spacers that I recently learned is the length of the stock studs. If you put a spacer on shorter than the length of the stock studs you will have to cut the studs down.

    Does anyone happen to know the length of the stock studs?? The part that sticks out. The total length is 40mm or 1.5” I am seeing

    I have the 3/4" bora spacers for about 4yrs now. 0 offset 17x8.5

    JBA UCA 35/12.5/17s, no rubbing full-lock. Minor rubbing on reverse though.

    Ok awesome! You’re running some big tires too. Did you have to trim the stock wheel studs to get the wheels mounted correctly with the 3/4” bora spacers?

    No my icon wheels have grooves on the inside to accommodate the studs
