Hello there,
I recently installed a set of your 1" Wheel Spacers (140001-1-K) on my '13 T4R with stock 17" SR5 wheels and 265/70R17 C load BFG All-Terrains. Looks fantastic IMO.
W/O the spacers I didn't notice any steering wheel wobble (I was VERY strict with the guy that mounted and balanced my BFG's!). Since I've installed your 1" spacers, I notice some steering wheel wobble around 40-60MPH, and it comes and goes as the wheels wobble "in-sync" and then get out of sync (constructive and destructive interference if you will).
I seated the spacers gradually (finger tight, then 1/2 turn increments in a criss-cross pattern - also used red loctite), and approached mounting the wheels the same way (but no loctite).
Do you have any suggestions on how to get a "truer" mount from these spacers? They appear to be very well-made, so I'm hoping it is operator error (something I did)...
Lastly, are these spacers truly hub-centric like our Late Model T4R's require for a "True" mount?
Thanks for any clarification!

Randy, the wheel spacers we sell are lug centric, not hub centric.
However, we run these all the time on stock vehicles. But we convert to an acorn style lug nut on the wheel itself.

Thanks for the reply! I'll look into tracking down some acorn lug-nuts. Are the Toyota Wheels designed to be solely "Lug Centric" mounted (will they be "100% true" with lug-centric mounting?)?
Do you have any lug-nut recommendations off hand? I'd prefer a "closed" end and a chrome finish for aesthetics (like the factory ones, but acorn style).
I also just realized this is not a general Addicted Offroad Vendor thread (thought it was). Mods - feel free to move these posts to a more appropriate section as needed...
Thanks again for your help!

The Gorilla lug nuts you can buy at Discount Tire are nice, and chrome finished. Plus it gives you a locking lug nut
