    does anyone have an opinion on wheelspacer brand / size. I have a 2015 Trd dcsb. I have stock tires / rims right now. I'm putting in icon Uca's next week. I put on a 3 inch ome lift and am looking at either spidertrax or all pro wheelspacers. The spidertrax comes in only 1.25 while the all pro comes in 1.25 or 1.5. Thanks!

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    Are you going to a bigger tire size?

    Why not pick components that don't require the use of 'shims' (what spacers are)?

    I like the more aggressive look that the spacers give the wheel stance.

    Spidertrax only lists 1.25 on their official website. The all pro lists both sizes.

    So pick a wheel with the offset needed to get the look you want.

    I went with a -10 offset and wouldnt be able to use a sapcer if i tried with a 1.75" lift in front. with a 3" lift youd have no problem with tht or even a bit more of an ET

    scratch that brain fart I'm on two different forums I was talking about my 4runner but same idea. But if you're going with spacers I'd go with the spidertrax they have better long term reviews.

    Be warned. Wheel spacers may not be legal for highway use in your state. Making passing state inspection a PITA.

    I know many who have the spidertrax 1.25 spacers and they love them. I have the all-pro 1.5 spacers for the same reasons as you have described. I called them up and had the guy place the order over the phone to make sure I got the right extended nuts for it. I havnt had them on my ride long, but they are a great addition. If you want the extra width, go 1.5. If not, then Im sure you can scoop up some spidertrax on here quick as they seem to be sold pretty frequently. Don't know if it matters, but I have a 2012 Baja Tx double cab 4wd.

    Try Bora spacers.....High quality, and available in a wider variety of sizes than any other name brand. They offer 3/4" and 1", plus all the common sizes. Hub Centric like Spidertrax. I'm more than a year and more than 33,000 miles into life with mine. ZERO complaints. I'm using 1".

    I just ordered a set over the phone today from BORA also. Good easy transaction and lots of online reviewers give them just as much praise as the Spidertrax stuff..

    I was told they're laser engraved with matching numbers from your invoice for "insurance" purposes from Bora as they're made to order. I got the 1" ones also.

    I'm waiting on a set of 1" spacers myself. I wanted the 3/4" but the studs are @ 1/8" to long.

    Take a close look at your wheels. Almost every one I've ever seen has a relief between the lug holes that will allow the 1/8" of protruding studs to be acceptable. I've worked on one truck with 3/4" spacers and they worked just fine. I bought 1" spacers for the very same reason you did, only to find out later the 3/4" spacers would have worked just fine.

    I'm running the stock steel wheels. The rims have no space for the studs. The whole rim sits flush with the hub.
