    I love the aggressive look of a tire that sticks out a little bit from the flare what are the pros and cons of wheel spacers? Thanks

    and if you do take the spacer root. Use "SpiderTrax" spacers. This is one of those things where cheaping out is no good.

    Spidertrax because they are hub centric and you wouldn't want to go cheap with wheel spacers.. Wheel spacers are a no go for me I would just go with a larger tire and different back spacing...

    So to actually answer his question, there is actually no real problem with running good spacers like say Spidertrax 1.25"? I was going to buy them to run stock suspension (TRD stock Bilsteins/canadian 4 leafs in rear) and 17" sport rims with 265/70/17's. But after hearing people says things like "excessive strain" I decided not to. Am I over reacting?

    I think so. I was also a little worried about the strain also, but after reading about guys who have them and wheel a lot harder than me, i decided it would be fine. One guy said it doesnt put anymore strain on the balljoints and other components than a wheel with a lot of BS.

    I got spidertrax spacers and have had them for a week and so far so good!
