Hey guys, on my previous 4runner i had to slap on some 10mm wheel spacers to avoid rubbing the UCAs until i got my hands on some proper spidertrax ones. I just put 32's on my newest 4runner and remembered how much i liked the look of the added 10mm. I know there is a lot of controversy regarding wheel spacers but what are the thoughts on these 10mm ones. I was able to achieve the desired amount of threads (turns) on the lug nuts when i had them on previously so no need for extended studs and i believe there was still some lip left to mount the rim (hub centric). They would be purely cosmetic

thanks

Ive had a .25" wheel spacer on for a few months now and no problems. However, i didn't have enough threads without a longer wheel stud so longer ones were needed. You can go to any auto parts store and get the studs for the rear axel and they'll give you enough stud. I did find that even though they were light aluminum the holes on the spacer are larger than the studs the spacer doesn't fit center and does cause wheel vibrations. drove me nuts trying to figure out what it was. to solve the issue I took some super glue and applies 3 dots around the spacer to stick it to the hub so when I went to put the tire on it stayed put. hope this helps
 
the spacers will only be for the rear.. not sure if you have longer bolts on the rear but when i put a set on my last runner i was able to get 8 turns of the lug nut
