    hey folks,

    my names lee and i own a pretty much stock ‘13 tacoma trd sport access cab 4.0 and i have the factory aluminum rims.

    i want my wheels to stick out just a tiny bit more to give it more of that bulldog stance we all love so much,lol,and my budget wont allow for a new set of rims so my question is if and how can i achieve this without buying new rims ? is it safe to put small wheel spacers in,like maybe a 1-2 inch spacer on each wheel ? and will that do what im wanting done ?

    please and thank you,

    lee

    Spidertrax 1.25 spacers. Very proven and what most people on here run. They’re also hub centric so safe. I’ve ran them for about 1k miles. Many on here have 50k plus of hard miles on them. They can be had for about 200 bucks for the pair. I got mine from wheelers off-road.

    As stated above, Spidertrax. I run em, very happy with em. Keep an eye on the classified section, usually can get a set for half the price of new.

    thank you all very much.i had asked around in the local offroad shops but theyre arent many nearby and the few that are i think are more interested in trying to sell me some new rims than a simple set of spacers...lol.

    I have over 30K on a set of SpiderTrax 1.25" spacers. Not a single problem and they do give the truck just enough of a wider stance to look good (in my humble opinion).

    Whatever spacers you get, make sure they are hub centric. DO NO GET lug centric, you will be chasing vibes.
