The 1.5" spacers are currently $116.44 so I ordered a set. So everyone's going by the seller's 120 ft/lb torque specs to bolt the spacers to the hubs and the lugs bolting the wheels to the spacers? I just emailed them to verify and if they come with those additional ET lugs for the fronts
UPDATE seller said the 1.5's probably won't come with the additional front nuts. Torque-wise he recommended 120 ft/lbs for the spacer-to-hub and I should be ok with 120 or OEM for wheel-to-adapter. I forgot to ask about loctite though.

Installed the spacers today. Cleaned the hubs really well with a small wire brush, some brake cleaner, and a rag. Then used blue colored loctite on the OEM studs and bolted the spacers on. I used blue just because I had it. I called spidertrax and the guy said either blue or red works. I used the provided black acorn lugs on the rears and used the provided ET lugs on the fronts, as instructed. This is because the front studs on the vehicle are a little shorter. The ET lugs will help with thread engagement.
I don't own a torque wrench that's accurate enough but I worked in a tire shop all through college and I have a rough idea of what 83 ft lbs feels like (OEM torque for our 4runners).
I did probably about 90 ft lbs all around tightening the correct order
Then bolted on the OEM wheels. My only concern is that the studs that the wheels now bolt on to (that are pressed in to the spacers) seem like they end up sticking out of the wheel holes longer than the stock studs did. When I tightened down the OEM lugs I felt like maybe the closed end of the lug was going to bottom out before actually getting tight against the wheel. Anyone else have this problem?
Eventually the OEM lugs got tight but it felt like forever tightening them. I drove around and rechecked and they were all still torqued to where I had them around 85-90 or so.
I started rubbing pretty bad on the front wheel liner when turning after installing these too. I do have 265/65r18 Terra Grapplers which are a bit more aggressive. I moved the liner forward and now rub just a tiny bit on the inside corner of the bumper. Will be trimming a little off with my dremel tomorrow.
Moving the liner forward was easy. Just lay underneath and remove the little hex screws. I trimmed a bit off the liner towards the front of the car so I could push the liner forward and use the same clips and hex screws just an inch or so back. I just punctured new holes with a screwdriver.
Gonna follow this guy's post on trimming the bumper.

Got a set of these. Skeptical about them being made in the USA as they claim, given there are no markings on the box or the spacers themselves but they looked to be good quality.
The packaging was lacking and they got marred up since they ship face to face in a thin box with nothing but bubble wrap between them, unlike spidertrax that have rigid foam packaging.
Install was a breeze, and mine came with a full set of ET lug nuts for all spacers, so although not necessary for the back, extra bit of security. The front most definitely needed them and I would not have installed without them.
They don’t come with locktite so I bought my own Red.
Looks so much better and I sense better stability around corners, but who knows!
I’ll be taking the wheels off in a few weeks to install some 5100s so, I’ll check them then and make sure all is good.
Overall, happy camper.

Here’s another set thats cheaper. They all look like the come from the same factory. All have the same markings. Hopefully they come with the ET nuts for the front. I will see when they get here.

I run the cheapest eBay spacers, hubcentric if they're on factory Toyota wheels. On aftermarket wheels that are lugcentric I don't care. Last set I paid 30$ for 4 hubcentric spacers, always using non ET nuts with no loctite. Properly torqued, checked any time I pull the wheel off. Never had an issue.

stock tires and ride height?
Hello, will a 1.25" spacer work with a stock TRD trail, or will there be rubbing?
I have a 2.5" lift coming, but will add the spacers in the meantime if they won't rub. Thanks

For those still wondering if these spacers are any good.
I've wheeled the crap out of my rig, tire rotations, an any other type of work involving removing tires or wheel spacers (rotors, wheel bearings, cv boots,etc)
No issues at all, throw some loctite on them an call it the day.

If anyone is in LA and wants a set, I have a brand new set in the box for $60.
i was going to use them, but bought SCS wheels instead which have the spacing already done in the offset. DM me. $60, can't go wrong.
EDIT< SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!
