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

EVERY TIME I COME AROUND THA CITY, BLING BLING

 

My lil build

 

O really? Come visit lol

 

Nice!

 

Why not just go for the full 1.5inch spacers?

 

Because running a 33x12.50x15 tire on a 15x8 wheel with 3.75 backspacing with a 1.5" spacer would be way too wide for my liking. Plus since it took too long for somebody to respond I went ahead and bought four 1/4" wheels spacers from wheelers.

 

I've been meaning to. They opened up a distillery in town and I was supposed to be there for the grand opening a couple of years ago. Life happened and I haven't been able to make it up yet.

But soon.

 

Also very hard on your bearings

 

Very true, now hopefully the spacers are enough to stop the rubbing.

 

I was also gonna say you can trim your calipers a bit. Someone has done it here before

 

Yeah, I'd prefer not to do that. I will if for some reason the spacers aren't enough.

 

1.25 spacers fixed all of my rubbing, im very happy with em.

 

But how wide are your tires?

 

Is that shi7 flat black or is it just the pic? (because that's awesome if it is.)

 

I would NOT run those 1/4'' ones. The front studs for the wheels are already way too short. Loosing a 1/4'' is not going to do you any favors.

Id run some .75 Borja spacers if you don't what them SUPER wide. Then get some extended thread lug nuts from Allpro for the fronts. They are cheap and WELL worth the insurance for using the spacers on the front studs. I am running allpro extended lugs and they stay totally tight. Have checked the torque twice now and they havn't budged.

Don't run the 1.4'' ones..sketchy.

 

The studs seem to have more than enough length for the wheels, I'll look at the all pro lugs. I should be fine though.

If I used the 1/4 inch spacers with the ET lugs, there wouldn't be anything at all wrong with that would there?

 

Wait like headframe spirits distillary?

 

the front are short. Trust me.

I wouldn't want to run it like that anyways..

here are photos..

Normal Lug vs Extended thread



and just go pull a wheel and you'll see how much shorter they are.

I don't think you can use the Extended lugs on the 1/4'' spacers.

 

I bought a set of t100 rear springs for my tacoma today should be interesting ?

 

mmmmm...don't think they will fit..think they are gonna be too long..but..since its a t100..not 100% possitive. Could be the same as the 98-04 leafs in length..axle placement might be off though..But seeing as T100s were like pre tundras..i have a feeling they will be too long..
