I have factory 16” rims on a 2021 SR5. I just got new 285/75/16 and they are rubbing on the control arm. What are the thoughts on a 1” spacer?
Thanks

Welcome. Many people run spacers. Nothing wrong with it. May run into cab mount rub after.

Buy the CORRECT quality spacer, install them as per instructions. Apply loctite, Torque them properly, don’t over torque, don’t use impact wrench.

If you follow those simple things, you will never have an issue and they will last as long as you own the vehicle.

I run spidertrax 1.5". Perfect. Never any issues. As far as my research goes, and i research EVERYTHING, I'd go with either spidertrax or Bora.
