hay all, just got my 99 limited runner a 3inch toytech lift and am wondering if wheel spacers is what i need to do to get the "wide" look. i was thinking of keeping my stock rims and going up one tire size in width on them and then a 1.5inch wheel spacer to get the tires outside of the flare. if the wheel spacer is the way to go what is the largest tire i can put on?? thanks

1.5 wheel spacers will still be a little inside of your limited flares... if you want the tires to stick out a little farther than your flares you will need 2inch spacers.
or you can search for a set of crager soft 8's (69.95 each wheel), or find a nice set of used wheels on your local craigslist. might take a little more time to find but thats what i did and it was a great find with tires and i like the ride of my 17s because i dont off-road too often im on pavement 90% of the time.

Spidertrax and All Pro make spacers in 1.25 and 1.5 inches- just make sure you get the HUBCENTRIC ones!
Depends on who you ask, they are marked as "for offroad use only". I have them on my Daily driver and never had a problem. P.S Discount tire will not install wheels with spacers on your rig, I just found that out.

I have a 2000 with the limeited fender flares, an i hated how my tires looked like the were crammed under my car, so i put the spider trax 1.25 spacers on my stock rims, with 265.75.16 Duratracs an it makes the tires flush with my fender flares. A little scrubbing at first , then put some billstiens up front an that took care of the problem :bravo:
EDIT: and also this is my daily driver an i have had no problems at all except for my scrubbing, but other than that the ride is just as smooth as before.
