    Ive got a 2003 tacoma with 3" toytec/ bilstein lift, 2" AAL rear. Considering using a wheel spacer to clear the rubbing on upper control arms with 285 75 16 all terrains. Is this a bad idea? Has anyone had issues with aluminum alloy wheel spacer breaking or bolts loosening? On the other note, I could get an offset rim.

    Looking for Opinions??

    Seems like nothing but good words about Spidertrax spacers. I plan on stepping up to 285's myself, and will go with Spidertrax spacers because I like my steel wheels.
