Thoughts on towing trailer with wheel spacers?
I am thinking of getting the spidertrax wheel spacers to lessen the pizza cutter look of the factory wheels, but I also tow a travel trailer sometimes for camping. Any concerns with the added weight on these wheel spacers? Anyone have them and tow somewhat regularly?

Thanks

I run 1.8" spacers on my rear wheels, and I tow my adventure trailer without a single worry.

I tow a very close to 5000lb travel trailer (when loaded) with Spidertraxx. Did the same on my FJ. Never had a problem or concern of a problem. The same Spidertraxx on my FJ were transferred to my 4Runner. I have a total of 130,000 miles on them, no failure, issues, or hint of such. I have towed at least 7500 miles between the two vehicles.

I've towed a ton with my 4th gen w/ 1.25" wheel spacers, not a single issue.
