Wheel Experience and Offset vs Spacers
Looking to maintain the OEM Plus style and keeping the upgrades a little on the vanilla side (most I run is fire roads and backroads to canoe and camping trips), I'm set to bolt on the Spidertrax 1.25" spacers to my TRD Pro wheels to fill in the wheel wells on my Eibach stage 1 leveled setup. I'm waffling on the spacers, mostly based on the rare horror stories of failed bolts and long term safety of an extra point of failure. Also planning to upgrade to 275s or 285s when the factory tires run out (still only have 14k miles on the Ridge Grapplers) and thinking a true aftermarket wheel would be better suited for sizing up longevity-wise.
Some last minute holiday sales are pretty appealing - for example, looking at Nomad wheels and RRW, full sets can be ordered under $900, further offset by selling my TRD wheels on the back end. I like the clean and simple black options to stay close to OEM(ish). Anyone have any experience with Nomad? Seem to be Toyota focused but don't ever see them here on the forums. Is the 0mm offset (I believe the TRD Pro is +4mm) going to be enough to fill the wheel wells with bigger tires, or am I going to wind up wanting the spacers down the road anyway? Guess the safety concern would still be there, but maybe it all comes down to the looks. Thanks for any input in helping me spend my money!
