Question for those with Spidertrax spacers...

[Okie]

I have the Spidertrax spacers on my '04 model. I noticed that in the rear the wheel studs fully go through the supplied lug nuts from Spidertrax when tightened. But, on the front the wheel studs seem to go only about half way into the lug nuts from Spidertrax when tightened.
Have you guys noticed this on your 4 Runners? Is there a difference between the front and rear spacers and I received all rear or something?

The studs in the front are a bit short. I have some extended thread lugs for my spacers that taper in so that they can be threaded deeper but they are All-Pro. Not 100% sure if they'll fit your Spidertrax. They're only like $9 for a set though, you could order 'em and try 'em out.

I noticed the same thing on my rig. So far I have about 20K on it and no issues.
Only real bummer about the ST Spacers is Americas Tires will no longer touch my rig with them on it. So I have to do my own rotations and un-mount and bring in the tires for balancing, and repairs.

Just installed mine and found the same. The front studs are shorter but still came all the way through the lugs. Rears are through about 1/4" more.

Take 'em off before you go to America's Tires. You can go to Autozone and borrow their 1-ton jack and tools.

It's easier just to rotate them myself rather than pull the spacers. Doesnt take long with jack stands and air tools. Just disapointed in Americas for their misguided policy.
