    No it’s the newest model. They are custom bypass coilovers with titanium springs and only cost $12.

    Just kidding, yes, I meant 5100s, lol

    I went the next size up on rims and tires from factory size. Had to get spacers, Old Man Emu Dakar leaf springs, Bilstein 5100 series shocks, Marlin Crawler clutch.
    This is the package I went with for the lift kit. The spacers I got are 1.5". I am going to buy new ones and sell this pair. How much does that cv joint angle kit cost?

    I found out these spacers are made by Supreme Suspension. Anyone heard of this company or know anything about them? I pull their site up on my phone and looked up spacers for my year taco and they are claiming they are hub centric but there is no raised lip to be hub centric.

    Sounds like they're hub centric to the hub. But not the wheel.

    My spacers on my truck are made by sixity or whatever 1.5” thick. My stock studs look just like yours do with the lug nuts supplied by them. I used red locktight and haven’t had any trouble for 80k miles. The rule of thumb is that any fastener needs to be threaded on 1-1/2 length of the fasteners diameter to be secured properly and torqued down. You could be simply looking at the open end of an extended lug nut, which would not cause any issues. Just my two cents
    Looking a second time at your spacers, they are wrong for your wheel. They are for a lug centered wheel and it looks like a hub centered wheel that you have mounted.

    werd, just read up on it. the hub-centric are only for ADD.

    another reason I'm kind glad I don't have manual

    also Trail Gear was recommended by @paranoid56 on another thread, and they have a range of sizes

    http://www.trail-gear.com/product/5102/wheel-spacer-kit-6x5-5

    and @Blackdawg recommended All Pro looks like whatever you choose is good quality, just get the extended lug nuts for peace of mind

    It doesn't really matter if it's lug or hub centric. Not that much.

    The front studs on 1st gen tacos are short to begin with. I'd recommend getting some extended thread lug nuts for at least the front.

    I've never had issues with mine.

    I'm running the all pro spacers with extended nuts on the front.

    The rear wheel studs are longer for whatever reason so the regular nuts are fine there.

    It actually does matter in this case, the hub centric spacers have a smaller center bore that won't clear the manual hubs.

    Can't use hub centric spacers on the front of a manual hub Tacoma, the hubs are in the way. Y'all know your wheels don't sit on the hub when they're torqued down right. It's just there to help you line things up initially.

    I went the next size up on rims and tires from factory size. Had to get spacers, Old Man Emu Dakar leaf springs, Bilstein 5100 series shocks, Marlin Crawler clutch.
    My Tacoma is all done with suspension up grade and the spacers are doing fine. Toyota dealership mechanics say plenty of stud thru the nuts. Put on Old Man Emu Dakar leaf springs and Bilstein 5100 shocks.

    Fwiw, I've been running spacers just like the OP for 10 years with 33/35" tires... Over 100k miles and never had a problem.

    I'm not saying that it's idea, but I doubt he'll have an issue
