2in wheel spacers

so I have a 2016 Tacoma TRD sport white. And I ordered 2in wheel spacers to put on my truck. Running stock tires at the moment but ordering 33x12.50 M/T in the next week. Do u think 2in will push my stick wheels out super far to where t looks dumb?

 

Why would you ever put 2 inch wheel spacers on?

 

Do you have a ruler or tape measure? Can you measure 2" farther out on the wheel and visualize it? If so, you've just answered your own question.

 

Would you expect anything different from a guy who put in his mod list as just "Light Bars" ?

 

There's nothing else that's done to it but light bars. And also why do people make such a big deal about wheel spacers? You guys get so butt hurt about it. Are you paying for the vehicle?

 

I foresee major rubbing issues in your future with those spacers and tires

 

And ball joint and wheel bearing issues

 

Conveniently ignored my question about if you can measure and visualize something.

 

He was blinded by the light bar

 

Well I get them in tomorrow so I'll post a pic of it. And I measured like you said and they will sit flush with the fenders. Since my fenders are a little wider than normal

 

Bad idea I think. Not something I would recommend doing to your truck.

 

I had 1.25 spacers to try to get my tires flush with the fenders, I personally don't like the look of them sticking past. However, my mud flaps didn't line up, the 1.25" stuck out about 1/8" from the top of the fenders and threw unending amounts of junk on the side of my truck, so I took them off and went back stock.

As far as durability, I wheeled them several times and never had an issue. I just decided I liked the look of the OEM, and I like my mudflaps, so I decided to keep it stock. I'd have been happy with 0.75" but I wasn't happy with a spacer (don't recommend), and no adapter would fit that thin of a space, so that's a no go.

The reason it will likely rub is that when you space the wheel out it can reach farther at the max turning lock and rub the inner fenders on the front or back.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Yeah no problem. Thanks for the information. I'm leveling it out so it'll fit the 33s on it. Should look good

 

Ive been running 1.25" wheel spacers for over a year with zero issues

 

You have a picture of the Tacoma?

 

If you're really planning to run 33s with just a 2" level lift GL. Also, think about it, you're going to need to measure wider then 2" for just the spacers. The 33x12.5 tires are already going to add some extra width with those M/T.

 

1.5's here, I've had them on every taco I've owned and never had
an issue. Does the issue lie in whether you beat the truck up on
trails and such?

 

Not really sure, I think people like to give advice on things they 'hear' instead of 'done'

Mine literally have not budged one bit (100% street driving)

 

Stock, the offset of the wheel places the load directly over the wheel bearings. Spacers off set this load. Spacer will effect wheel bearing and brake longevity. Spacers are one of the worse modifications.
