Wheel set up question 2008 toyota urban runner

[Dmiller_3]

Hey all, I am fairly unexperienced with details on wheels and was needing some advice. I am running a daystar 2.5/1.5 spacer lift with fj springs and also just ordered some spidertrax 1.25" wheel spacers with 275/65/18 toyos..I am looking at getting the pro comp series 7031 wheels in flat black and was wondering about the backspacing. How much will i need to clear the ucas? Will the spacers be all i need to accomplish this? Thanks for any advice and sorry for the noob questions.

If I'm reading ProComp's specs correctly, the 7031 is a 18"x9" wheel with 5" backspacing. Teamed with the 1.25" spidertrax spacers will be like running a wheel with 3.75" backspacing so you will have plenty of UCA clearance. I think the issue you may encounter will be rubbing on the body mount and/or front bumper/fender liner.

Thanks fo the reply!! If a little rubbing occurs I don't mind to do a little trimming. However, I do not want my tires sticking out past the fenders very much. The look I'm going for is just past the fenders maybe 1". Would this setup be sticking TOO far out? Thanks for the help I really appreciate it!

I'm guessing the outside lip of the wheel will stick out around 3" more than it does with the OEM wheels. You can measure down from the fender to see where that puts it.

Stick out 3"? If it does, the OP will have very serious tire rubbing problems... and I mean SERIOUS. Forget the tires "rubbing on the body mount". They will hit the body mount, tire tread will catch on the lip and probably tear the entire tread track off the tire. I have 3" of lift, 285 70 17's on 17x8 KMC Hoss wheels with -12mm offset and the lip of the tire pokes out of the wheel wells about an inch. I still have a RIDICULOUS amount of rubbing on the front body mounts when the steering wheel is cranked over to the left or right (I still have to perform the "body mount chop" procedure to mine). The OP needs to try his proposed wheel/tire setup WITHOUT the spacers first. Actually, he would be WELL ADVISED to choose aftermarket wheels, 1) that he is confident will clear the calipers and 2) do not require wheel spacers. Besides: Wheel spacers reduce the life of the wheel bearings.
