Spidertrax Wheel Spacers 2009 Tacoma

Nice color choice on the truck. Full pic?

 

Nope, just a cheap one I picked up. I think 4x4 group buy was the best price. All the sites I found seemed to be about the same.

 

You are going to need both.

 

nice, i did the same too...

except i took the rear ones off bcuz it seams like the rear wheels already stick out a lil further than the front ones.....anyone else hav that issue.....

so now i just got an extra set sittin my my room....might throw them up on b/s/t section.....

plus when i get my spindles it should push them out a lil further, so when that time come im just gona throw the ones in the front to the rear to match them up a lil better

 

I got the same ones and size and i love them i couldnt be more happy about the look and feel of the ride.

 

I love mine. I plan on bigger tires down the road but have already lifted. imo these make the stockers look way better with a lift if you dont have the funds for new rubber. install was easy as well. the first time backing down my drive way the handling seemed like it had a little bit more scrub radius but after a while it all seems normal again

 

Just an little FYI, adding spacer puts alot more stress on the stock lug studs. And as you can see from the picture I snapped my studs, 4 outta 6 on the left and 3 outta 6 on the right. For those who plan on not pushing their truck hard off road I'm sure this is a none issue, BUT if you plan on hard romping I would advise against. I had the spacers on for no more than 8k miles.

 

I dont see how that happened if there installed properly and regularly checked for there torque settings every 5,000 mi or so. Spacers are not set it and forget it. Ive had mine for 3 years and no problem and I do wheel hard for stock...broken skid plates, damage transmission pan and dented cross members up front....my fault dont have a lift lol...but hey anythings possible i guess

 

Its a subtle difference but i like it. Ill get some head on shots later.

 

^ looks way better!

 

Thanks man. I seen your link and was bout to click it BUT...I know my fellow TW members all too well hahaha

 

Lmao, a few min after I posted the "link" , I checked and had like 70 new vews.

 

will this be necessary if you have a 2 1/2 to 3 inch lift? i plan on doing a toytec in the spring and want to run 285's on stock trd 16 inch rims.

 

^ if you are doing stock wheels and going that big you will deff need a wheel spacer and a lift with minor trimming.

 

This is sweet I think I'm going to do it to mine

 

I just got some 285/70/17 bfg ko2 and rub on UCA's. Just bought these spacers to clear the rub on them. Might have to do some trimming after.

 

I go offroad a lot. Like the wider stance. My concern is does this create a weak link.?. Could these break while climbing over rocks. Do these put undue stress on the wheel bearings?
Rough country also makes a nice set
Would like some experienced knowledge

 

Revival of an old thread but I've seen quite a few spacers being talked about & sold so maybe someone else will find it helpful too.

Nice write up. I have some in the mail should arrive today so I'm looking forward to installing them, sounds like what I need to not rub on my TC UCAs and clear 285s with my 885s/Dakars

Thanks Op

 

It really shouldn't put much more stress on the lugs. The spacer is still hub centric and that hub circle will bear a large amount of the load. The lugs are really just to keep the wheel from coming off the hub I believe.

 

It's best to have the load resting on the hub and not the wheel studs. Hub-centric is without question the way to go if you don't want your wheel studs sheering off.
