wheel spacers 01 tacoma

so ive been looking around for wheel spacers i want a nice stance im thinking of 1.5" then get my 3 inch lift after i get that gas station job (the guys taking forever to hire me) and finally throw some 33s on there but for now im gonna buy some spacers or at least look around for em... ive been looking on ebay and after looking it up, a lot of people have mixed feelings on the random no-name-brand spacers but i feel like aluminum is aluminum no matter what right? but then again it is holding my wheels on lol.. so either i get some no name spacers or some spidertrax spacers for twice as much any ideas? just wanna get something done with my truck and i figure it cant hurt to throw some small mods on there before the lift and tires

 

I bought the cheap eBay spacers. They are solo aluminum and look durable. I've had them on all four corners of my truck for a year and no problems I think mine are half inch though.

 

I think the ebay spacers would last just as long as a name brand one. Its mostly just a personal preference, like comparing apples to oranges. Go with whatever fits your budget. Keep in mind though that the front spacers would change the steering angle. Instead of turning at a point, they would sort of make a swing, like a circle. It will turn differently, but you will get used to it. Any pics?

 

as long as the handling isnt too harshly different i wont mind... ive read that the wheels tend to want to straighten out faster while turning with the spacers so its harder to keep it where you want it but im not sure how much harder itd be, i dont think its anything to be afraid of though...

 

I have a set of 3/4" spacers from Bora on the front and I immediately noticed that the truck seemed to track better and have a more solid feel. Our roads are pretty bad here and I think even the slightly wider stance made the difference.

 

I ran 1.25" Spidertrax spacers for a few years until I upgraded to wheels with better backspacing. Loved em. cornered much better and the truck felt more manageable when driving aggressively, probably due to a wheelbase that is now wider than the truck.
