    So I’ve read a lot about wheel spacers on the forum. I’ve decided to buy the spidertrax spacers. I’m trying to get an idea between the 1.25” and 2”. Can I get pics please! Also would there be a problem with getting spacer on just the front? Thanks

    What would you say is a good size? Would you do 1.5?

    I would say whatever works- I’m running 1.5” on the rear and 2” on the front- why??? You may ask....


    315/75/16 on TRD alloys. 35s. They’re a great band aid- definitely not a long term solution but they do hold up against some good off roading.

    Tip for 2” spacers.... you need extended wheel studs, the stocks are too short. For the 1.25/1.5” spacers, stock wheel studs are long enough for proper thread engagement

    none is the proper size, get the right backspacing and offset.

    The 1.5” are a nice set up, I had 235/85/16 and it made the truck look right. The BFGs were FLUSH with the stock fender flares.

    I like as little as is needed. I use 1" Bora spacers. Have 'em on for almost 80K now with ZERO issues. I off road mine a lot....And run 285/75r16 load range E tires....NOT light tires/wheels... Track width is track width....Spacers are no different than wheels with more offset.... If you don't have issues with lug nuts getting loose, no reason to think lug nuts holding spacers will get loose. 99.9% of the people who criticize spacers have never owned them. Just parroting what some other uninformed "internet expert" repeated.

    As long as they're at least 1.25, you should be fine. I run them on the back only to match the wider track from the Maxtracs.

    Can you post some more pics of the rig? I'm heavily considering going to that tire size but worried it might look too narrow.
