Are there pockets on the back of TRD OR wheels so you can run 1” or 3/4” spacers?

    I was hoping someone could answer this question without me taking my wheels back off. I’m running my stock wheels with 265/75/16 snow tires and wouldn’t mind a little more poke, but don’t want to go with the 1.25” spacers and end up with rubbing. I was thinking of getting a set of 1” or 3/4” Bora spacers but understand the factory studs will protrude. Are there pockets on the back of the stock TRD OR 16” alloys that will allow the studs to poke out past the spacers?

    I just did a 1.25 inch spidertrax wheel spacer. I’m running factory wheels and a 285/75 tires. There’s barely a poke and I love it. Make sure to get hubcentric wheel spacer.

    Did you end up with rubbing? Or do you have a cmc?

    1" wheel spacers will clear any protruding lugs.

    .75" will not unless your wheels has those relief pockets.

    No rubbing. I just needed to remove the mud flap. Are you doing any lift? I have a 3’ lift.

    I’m just looking to run my snow tires on my stock wheels for a few months while maintaining the cool-factor of wheels that aren’t tucked in. It’s totally vain and I admit it. I run the TRD SEMA wheels the rest of the year.

    I thought we needed the 1.25” to clear the studs without pockets, but could be wrong. I may just end up pulling the wheel off to see if the pockets are there.
