Wheel Spacers???

I'm about to put a 3"/2" lift under my '05 Taco TRD Sport. I also found a deal I couldn't refuse on a set of 285/75/r16 tires (Bridgestone all terrains to be exact) on 16"X7.5" rims. I'm not sure yet of backspacing, but the rims are stock H3 rims if that helps. Does anyone know if I will need wheel spacers? If so, how much?

 

It depends on the amount of backspacing and offset of the wheels. You want to make sure the dimensions on these wheels will fit the truck. You should be clear of any rubbing on the wheel well, maybe a little trimming if any.

FWIW, I just put on a set of 16x8 wheels and 285/75/16 BFG AT KO's without double checking the backspacing and offset, and there was 1mm of space between the caliper and the wheel spokes. I put on a set of Spidertrax 1.25" spacers/adapters and now I have plenty of clearance. I have a 2.25" lift in the front, but I still have some rubbing on the cab mount and the plastic wheel well.

If I had a choice, I wouldn't put spacers on my truck, but if you must use them, go with Spidertrax. They are industry standard.
