    I don't personally run any, but Spidertrax has an impeccable record. All Pro also offers a decent set too. The main thing to look for is that the spacers are hub centric. Other than that go for some wider tires and a little more backspacing on the rims.:notsure:

    also if you have manual hubs make sure you get spacers that fit those.

    8 inch wide wheels with negative offset should do the trick.

    Fox 2.0 Coilovers in the front and Fox 2.0’s in the rear, Total Chaos UCA’s, Al-lpro expo leafs, K&N cold air intake, TRD headers,Magnaflow catback exhaust,URD short throw shifter, switched out my 60/40 bench seat for some Tacoma Limited seats, Replaced the vinyl shift boot for a leather one, completely soundproofed the cab w/ Frost King. Replaced stock radio with a Pioneer AVH series head unit. Focal component system w/a 10" sub powered by 2 Alpine amps. Weathertech floor mats. Line-X'd the bed. SCS Ray 10’s, Installed an A.R.E. MX series camper shell. All-Pro Apex front bumper w/ All-Pro skid plates all the way back to the Trans. Low Range fuel skid plate.
    I had 4WD in Dallas put on a set of 4Runner rims on my 03 DLX and figured I 'd throw some wheel spacers on because I always liked the look and they said my tires were rubbing. I have a 2&1/2" lift and they said I would need to go up to a 3" lift to clear. Another thing for the wish list...

    I've run wheel spacers on almost every Toyota I've owned. I have never had an issue. Don't run the cheap ones from the parts store. Get the good ones like spidertrax, or the like.

    I've been running these for over a year and haven't had any problems although I heard wheel spacers will wear out your hubs / bearings quicker. I just replaced my front wheel bearings, rack & 2 CV axles but the CV axles ripped probably since I have a 3" lift. I even have Camburg UCA's & a diff drop. But I also have 247,000 miles and they were the original bearings & rack. I have Spidertrax 1.25" wheel spacers on all 4 sides.

    Bora spacers.....Every bit as good as Spidertrax, and they're available in more sizes. Spidertrax starts @ 1.25". Bora offers a 3/4" and 1". The 3/4" covers the lug studs by the slimmest of margins and is the thinnest bolt on spacer you can use. I've had 1" Bora's for a little over a year....33,000 miles, a fair bit of off roading, a LOT of highway miles, towing a camper trailer, and hauling a few rather heavy loads (for a Tacoma...) Not a single issue. 1" brings stock wheels right at the very edge of the fender. I'm running 265/75/16 Duratracs. They look MUCH better with the wheels spaced out. No negative effects on alignment, handling, or ride quality. blackmountain10-24-15 010.jpg
