hello i have a question about wheel spacers.

Hi I am new to the Tacoma World and I need some info on wheel spacers. I have a 2007 Tacoma SR5 Prerunner with a 3" leveling kit. do I need wheel spacers in order to fit 33x12.50r20 on my truck? if so what size spacer would I need?

 

What type of wheels are you running and what are the specs in regards to be offset and backspacing?

 

sorry it took me awhile to answer. The wheels are ultra motorsport Gauntlets 20x9. The offset is 18mm.

 

What about backspacing?

 

to be honest I don't know how to find that

 

5.681" according to Summit.

i found it on TireRack.com it says it is 5.67"

 

Thanks Windsor

 

Ya you probably are going to need a wheel spacer avoid rubbing the UCA, and with that size tire you are aware of the amount of trimming your going to have to do and possibly a CMC

 

yeah I know about the trimming but what is a CMC

 

I figured it out

 

Cab Mount Chop, basically chops part of the cab mount off and you have a new plate welded in, it gives more clearance in the fender on turns. I'm running an OME lift on 285/75/17 and I had to do the CMC.

 

oh ok it seems like something I could do myself huh? Would it bother my tires if I don't off-road?

 

It all depends, on how bad it is at full lock and any sort of flex in the suspension. It's almost a for sure that you will have trim some of the fender since with the wheel spacers you are pushing the tires out in order to clear the UCAs. And when trying to turn you may hit the fender well. I had a local member to me do the CMC for me since I do not know how to weld.

 

nice your lucky cause I don't know how to weld I was going to cut it and and take it to get welded. what size do you think I would need with the wheel spacer? I was thinking 1.50"

 

Ya or 1.25" might even work, trying finding any local members to you that can help you with the CMC, if you have to do it

 

yeah I should. how would I find someone in the Houston, TX area?

 

I might try 1.25". That was my first choice.

That's the link to the Texas regional thread, you can look to see if there is a Houston thread, or you can create a thread there for help with a CMC to see if anyone in the Houston area is able to help you.

 

Thanks PreRunnerMan. You helped out a lot. I am going to look on that thread.
