    Hey guys.

    I posted this in the wheel/tire thread but it doesn't look like that gets much attention on here, and that a lot of guys post there wheel questions on here. So here goes.

    I recently decided to spritz up my truck. I have an 03 Double cab. I grabbed some of the newer style TRD Off Road rims and have those getting powder coated currently (I have the ugly Sr5 star style rims on there now). It is my understanding these would sit tucked in about an inch due to the backspacing difference of the rims. So I ordered a set of 1.25" Spidertrax spacers. For tires I ordered a new set of General Grabber AT2s LT265/75r/16 from Walmart and they're currently on the way.

    I feel I've done my share of researching. My buddy does a lot of crawling and all that good stuff. He says I should have no problem running that combo of rim/tire/spacer. I just want to make sure before I take this into the shop to get all mounted up, that I'm good to go and nothing is going to be conflicting with something else. Thanks fellas

    I think you should be fine, should have just bought my stock rims with at2s already on it! Ps... those tires kinda suck... maybe they will be better new but...

    Idk a lot of people love them. I don't do much crazy off roading except when I'm hunting or getting into a tight fishing spot, so I don't need anything too exceptional anyways.
