    I just put a rough country 3-1 lift level on my 2010 tacoma trd off rd. Im trying to put 285 75 16 instead of the factory 265 70 16 but they hit the upper control arm. Any recommendations on wheel spacers to make these tires fit?? If im in the wrong section I apologize!

    Look on their site for blemished ones... I doubt many ppl buy spacers to look at, so who cares if the finish is not perfect?

    He is right, most people get the 1.25 Spidertrax wheel spacers

    http://www.spidertrax.com/products/2001-Up-Tacoma-Pre-Runner-4WD

    but check around here and see what others have used, you may find you need 1.50's

    also

    just make sure you follow the directions, torque them properly and use the Loc-Tite on them and check them to make sure they maintain their proper torque.

    Sweet. Thanks gentlemen. Considering its a pre runner I may look at just running
    265 75 16 so I can fill the wheel well better but keep my standard width.

    Yes, My Spidertrax came with Red liquid Loc-tite so if you buy used, get the red stuff.

    I venture to guess, 2 reasons:
    1-1.25 seems safe and if you believe the hub centric spacers stress the (bearings/parts/etc) 1.25 is an acceptable amount of risk/stress, but in hindsight I think 1.50 would have looked better.

    2-Fear of Hawaiian style wheels
