    I just bought the TRD Anthracite wheels and I need to find out if I still need to run my Spidertrax wheel spacers?

    I have heard of a lot of people just grinding the caliper a few mm as thats all it takes rather than spacers

    Not needed for these wheels. And not really a great idea IMO across the board.

    I only have the spacers cause of the stock wheels. I know the Antharcite wheels have a 4.5 backspace and just want to make sure before I install the wheels and tires this weekend.

    4.5 backspacing should clear a 285/75/16 with minimal trimming

    +1, you're good to go. It's going to be a nice setup.

    Wheel spacers have shown to be a lot less safe than shaving a few mm off the cast of the caliper

    Why not just buy wheels that fit?

    Did I advocate the use of spacers? :confused:

    Haha cary true. Just hard to find soemtimes I guess..I did go back to wheels that fit as I didnt like the wheel wobble from my last new tires and wheels even after balence some rims and tires cause this issue...could be due to simply not having the correct rims on and tire sise
