Wheel Spacing

I have been looking into getting some wheel spacers for my tacoma, to give it a little more of a beefier look. All i havefound so far are 6 lug kits. the 5 lug kits seem to be rare, and the ones i saw were universal, which is a no-go. if anybody knows where these things are at, i would be very interested.

thanks

Why not go with higher offset rims?

 

well, the rims i have are aftermarket 18 inch wheels, and buying new ones would be a little more expensive than buying some 1 inch spacers. all i am trying to do is fill out the fenders a little better. i am also going to be replacing the tires soon, and i would like to increase the size to fill in the fenders more as well.

 

Checked ebay?

 

yes, there are plenty of six lug. 5 lug i found is only universal, and lug centric, and based on the research i have done, that can cause problems with balancing. i found some with this guy that makes custom ones, but hes asking 280 a set, and im a bit cautious on buying those, in case they dont work.

 

I found plenty when I typed in 5x114.3 wheel spacers? I had some ebay ones on my 03 precummer and they worked fine I still see the truck ridin around and he still has them on there.

 

are they are lugcentric? and everything works fine, no vibrations at higher speeds?

 

Im no wheel and tire guy but they say hubcentric and when I bought mine I just bought some with the same lug pattern and they were fine.

 

do you have any pics? i found the items yor talking about, just trying to get a feel for the size, dont want to overdo it, but definitely want to see a change, you know?

 

Nah sorry about a month after I got them I traded the truck for my X Runner. I want to say I got either 1.5" or 1.75" and it was definitely noticeable. They stuck out of the wheel wells but I had 32.5x10.50s on it, so the tire was wide anyways. I plan to put a 1'' spacer on my X once I get my wheels back from getting powder coated.
