    hey I have a 2012 tacoma sitting on a 3 inch bilstien 5100 lift. im currently running Method 16×8 method 305nvs with Zero offset on a 33inch Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ. Does anyone know if I could run spacers to increase stance a little bit (1-2 inches max) and how much rubbing would they cause and where. Also if i could be pointed to a good company for spacers

    I’ve had this exact set up a few months ago. I had complete clearance with a CMC, no mud flaps, trimmed the wheel well.

    G2 Axle 1-1/4” spacers are the ones I had. Still have them actually. I might sell them ;)

    Inside fender (wheel well) like about 3-4” straight across or until desired. It’s better to get the spacers installed and then turn your wheels at full lock and see exactly where the tires are rubbing for a better reference.

    1.25” Anything more will require more trimming of course.
