Spacer width...

After my initial day of some wheeling the new rig, it became apparent that I'll need some spacers.
The question is what width? I'd like the least amount I can get away with while eliminating the tire rubbing on the UCAs and rear shocks.

GEAR:
King Stage 3 3” RR Coil Overs SPC UCA’s
BFG K02 (315/75/R16)

Thoughts?

 

What are your wheel specs

 

you on stock rims? how you rubbin the rear shocks

 

Method 703
Not sure on size...either 7.5 or 8.5 x 17

 

Lol nobody can recommend anything until you provide basic info... like current wheel data.

 

yeah, yeah I know...PO can't remember so that means breaking down the rim to measure I guess.

 

Might be marked on inside of rim.

 

They’re 8.5
That’s the only width the 703s for Tacoma’s come in 17s

 

Given that, what spacer width should I need?

I have 1.25 for sale if you need

 

PM'd

 

I took a quick look and couldn't see anything obvious.

 

I run 1.5" spacers on bfg LT285/70/r17 (32.5" tire) & 17" XD recons with a 2" lift and had minimal cutting. Same cutting in this vid: https://youtu.be/2IzmH2LRu6A

 

My GUESS is a 1" spacer would be enough. 1" should not be too hard on bearings and other parts.

 

This is very confusing you said you ran a r16 in the beginning. Then it turned into a 17? Also 703 does come in both sizes and the width and bs is diff on each one. 17" 8.5"w with 4.75bs. 16 8"w with 4.5 back spacing. Even after knowing the correct wheel sizes we would need to know if you have a cab mount chop(how severe) or a cab mount relocation? What is your caster set at? Anyways if you don't know any of that, I'd start with 1.25 try it and go up form there if need to be.

 

You're correct that R17 was a fat finger on my part. They are R16s. I am still trying to work out the rim width, which unfortunately is likely going to require breaking down a rim.
My rubbing is not on the cab/fender as far as I can tell but, on the UCAs and Rear shocks
See photos for the latest alignment and current fender trimming. Sorry for the confusion...

 

Every wheel I’ve ever seen has the dimensions on the back, like this:



(That’s a Method 501.)

 

Clearing things up

King Stage 3 3” RR Coil Overs SPC UCA’s
BFG K02 (315/75/R16)
Rim 16x8.0

 

Found it...just needed to clear some mud

 

Just know that adding a spacer will push your front wheels in the back of the fender which means you'll now be doing a cab mount chop or a cab mount relocate at a minimum. You won't be able to adjust it out with the control arms.
