Wheel Spacers Alum vs Steel/1"vs1.25" TRD Sport

I’ve run the spidertrax on 3 of my last Toyotas. Probably at least 100k miles worth. As long as you follow their directions, a failure is highly unlikely. Here’s a shot of them on my Tacoma with T4R trail wheels.

 

Heavy snow storm today too, so get to try em out. 6" of snow in a couple hours. Should be a fun winter test in the Falkens

 

Black is such a sexy color when it's clean,which is the hard part. Nice looking truck.

I love my blue, only downside, is I can't do all the Red decals like you can on a black truck, just looks tacky to me. So the blue limits my color options for schemes

 

For anyone wondering, I ended up going with

$120 KSP 1.25" Wheel Spacers for Tacoma 6 Lug Wheel,4pcs 6x5.5 Hubcentric Spacer fit for 4runner Tundra Fj Cruiser Sequoia,32mm Forged Spacer with 12x1.5 Stud 106mm Center Bore,6x139.7 Aluminum Tire Spacer

1/2 the price of the Spiders, easily went on without any problems, had up to 90mph, no shake or anything, and had it on some light off road. Getting the torque checked on them today when new tires are put on. Extremely happy with them.

If you get these, make sure you order the extended wheel nuts for $35. Tacoma studs are short, and nuts that came with spacers only attached 2-3 threads. The extended gave roughly 8-9 threads of grab. Definitely worth it for the safety purposes.

 

Exactly. Makes a huge difference.

 

Your right it does...

 

You installing those now?

 

Nope did last summer...no issues

 

Ahh, nice. You use the Red thread lock on them?

 

Yes red locktite and torque to 95 ft. lbs.

 

red? Jesus you'll never get those off should you need to do your brakes. All shouldn't say never, but why not just use blue?

 

I believe red comes with Spiders

 

eek, that is surprising as we all know how freaking hard it is to get a bolt out with the stuff on it. I've snapped a few bolt before the locktite let go.

 

Do you have a side or wider angled shot of your truck? Your wheel/tires/spacer set up is exactly what I’m thinking of doing. Already have the pro wheels in the garage, waiting on an eBay coupon to hit so I can order the tires

 

I never considered spacers before but that looks really good when staying with stock wheels. Thanks for the pics.

 

Looks really good! Thanks

 

Spacers are fine, if they are installed correctly with the proper lugs. My $ goes to spidertrax only and I’m the only one that torques them. Never use or let anyone use a pneumatic wrench on your wheels with spacers !!!

Purchase your own wrench and don’t let anyone else touch it or your wheels : ). Multiply sets over many years & trucks, never one issue.

Always used the red locker, no issues there either.

 

So 3 months later, how are the spacers holding up?
Also, were you able to use your lugs after the spacer was installed?
I have considered doing this in the past. Ended up buying new wheels with 0 offset, but again I'm thinking of adding spacers. From all I've read I was going with Spidertrax, then I found your post using these KSP's. I've contacted an ebay seller of these spacers, asking if they can include the extended lugs due to your info here. Waiting to hear back from them...
