    I have a 2005 Tacoma 4x4 LB. It has the stock alloy wheels with 265/75R/16 KO2's. My question is the following: If I add a Bora 1.25" spacer, will that allow me to increase the tire size a little? If so, what size could fit on the stock rim?

    As always, thanks for the help

    Nope.

    Spacers will likely only make it worse. 265/75r16 is the biggest you can go, MAYBE 255/85R16 with a good alignment guy before you need cab mount chop, inner fender trimming / removal, pinch weld flattening.

    Thanks for the response. The spacer is a wheel spacer not a lift spacer. I wasn’t clear in my original post. Does that make a difference or is you response the same?

    Thanks again

    Spacers are finicky, they can remedy some issues but then create new ones; ie: big tire sizes on stock rim you can rub your ucas. Slap on that hub spacer you eliminate that problem but then you get less clearance between tire and things like cab mounts... AKA positive scrub radius.
    Just to elaborate on what was already said
