Wheel Spacers, 03 TRD

Hey guys just bought sweet 03 four door Tacoma TRD. I swear it’s a gem in the rocks, one owner, 88,000 miles and ZERO rust anywhere. I just got some factory black TRD 16” wheels that came off of a 2015 and the offset is different than the factory 03 16” wheels. In order to use I am going to need a small spacer. Looked to me like ½ or so but do not need much. Looking at he Bora .75 or the Spidertrax 1.25, both I believe are hubcentered and have great reviews. I don’t what the tires past the finders or by much anyway and I don’t want to take a risk of hurting my ride.

I have just heard so many negative things on spacers, I think because in the past they were made bad but believe they have come a long way.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated… Thanks!

 

If you're going to do spacers, go hub centric and a reputable brand. But with thr TRD wheels from a 2nd gen, you shouldn't need any. I had TRD off-road wheels on my 02 with no spacer and didn't have any issues at all. I added spacers later for the looks.

 

Yeah already mounted and rubbing brake caliber but only looks like I need quarter inch or so. Morel less was worried that is I went with the 3/4" or worst case the 1.25" they will stuck to far out. Going to have to use some sort of spacer if I want to use the black wheels.

 

These are the new wheels I have.

 

Factory 03 wheels currently on truck.

 

Ok, different style. I could see how there may be some interference with the caliper.
This is what mine looked like with 1.25" spacers.

 

Got ya. Thanks!

 

Correction... those are 1.5" spacers. I checked my posts from 2010 to make sure.

 

Good deal. Kinda gives me an idea on how much they may stuck out. I can dig that, looks good!
