    Alright. I have Pizza cutter tires. They're All terrain and have plenty of thread on them so I kinda don't want to get rid of them. Plus I'm living overseas and getting new tires will be pretty pricey. I'm now thinking about going with spacers. I'm getting my brakes re-done and thinking about adding spacers to the process. What are your thoughts on the spacers with pizza cutters? Should I just stick it out and wait to get back to get some real tires or do you think spacers would do the trick.

    Should be OK. When I had SpiderTrax on my truck, in the front, they withstood the rigors of off-roading. Bora is another good brand and I'm sure there are others. I never had em on the rear wheels.

    Save your money, spacers suck. Do it right the 1st time. Good luck.

    What exactly are your goals with this thing? "Pizza cutters" are actually a good thing to have. Don't put on spacers, that's dumb and you're making compromises just for looks.

    I agree that pizza cutters can be a good thing especially for pavement (high mpg / less wander) but I'd have to disagree on the spacers. I've seen too many people successfully use bolt-on spacers and have never heard of one failing. I even worked on a new tacoma a while back where the dealer had installed spidertrax spacers with the acorn seat on the lugs facing outwards and blue thread lock - guy drove it for 20,000 miles like that... not even a vibration.

    Save your money and upgrade your tires when its time.

    Spacers with pizza cutters would look worse than I think you think pizza cutters alone look.
