Pic request : wheel spacers

[bak3rme]

Anyone have wheel spacers on care to share a pic?

what im really looking for is one with sr5 flares running 265/75/16 tires. lift or no lift is fine. spacers size 1.50''

just got some spacers from a friend but too cold to put on . mainly for looks.

what are the cons of running wheel spacers ?

Not exactly what you asked for, but I'm running 265/75/16's with a 1.5-2" lift, and 1.25" wheel spacers. I also have the limited flares, not SR5. But this should give you a general idea. Overall, I'm really happy with them!

Important things to know about wheel spacers:

-Make sure your spacers are "hub centric" meaning they will have a small ring around the center of the spacer which the tire will slide on to ensure a proper fit thus preventing any balancing issues. "Lug centric" don't have this lip, and it is more difficult to get Toyota wheels to align right.

-Some believe that wheel spacers add more stress on ball joints and can cause premature failure. There is some debate about this, but it is probably worth while to keep a good eye on them if you plan on running them.

-You may have to do some trimming to the front bumper. I did a little bit.

Do you have some pics of what you needed to trim off of the front bumper. I am looking to get some wheel spacers too and am curious to see what you had to do to get the tires to clear.

I reckon I have all the requirements met for the pics you ask for. I didn't
do any trimming and have only rubbed once.

whats the diff between sr5 and limited flares? color keyed flares vs. black ?

limited flares are the bigger wider flares you see. the sr5 flares are the flatter flares

i beg to differ - in my case. i have the fat, color keyed "SR5" flares.

Only on newer models was that offered. it's the same as the limited AFAIK without the door panel molding things.

X2 I love love LOVE my limited flares. I think they really make the look of the vehicle (at least stock).
