    This is probably asked a million times I know... But

    Can I run stock TRD SPORT wheels with no spacers up front with a 285/75/17 and not rub the Total Chaos UCAs I plan on buying before the install happens?

    Any and all answers are appreciated.

    If not can someone suggest a backspacing/offset to run or would a 1/2" spacer help push the tire out far enough from the UCA.

    How much lift can I expect on a Access cab with 887's, 90000 struts, and dakars? No extra weight.

    Stuff to make go more off road
    Order spacers, fit tire and see if you need them if not then return or sell.

    I doubt they are going to clear with no spacer.

    Ordered the OME kit with the nitrochargers and also the Total Chaos UCA's. Someone told me Wheeler's actually has 18% off, is that a group buy? (Can't find it).

    Also purchased an ARE CX cap a few days ago.. Expensive week!

    Got it... SCS here I come... And to clear what back spacing would you suggest? I know very little about wheel offset/backspacing

    I'm no wheel expert but I think most people shoot for around 4.5 BS

    OK, I have been posting around town to see if anyone has any input on this, so I'll try here too. I can't seem to find anyone who has tried 887s on a 4cyl access cab. Now that is a light truck for sure. 4wheelin4banger used 885s on his access cab, got 3 inches, and when he added skids and sliders he had to put spacers on because he lost a 1/2". I am thinking that a 4cyl access cab with sliders and skids would pair perfect with the slightly longer 887s. Any input?

    Wheels with offset are ifentical principle to a quality spacer

    Spacers suck. Get wheels with 4-4.5 bs.
    Depends on what you're trying to achieve which you haven't shared.

    As long as you don't mind getting some new UCAs and you're running some armor up front for added weight you should be good. Also depends on what you're going to put out back. Dakars?

    Yup Dakar's in back, new UCA s r OK. Slider and steel skids on a 4cyl should give me a little under three...right?
