Default Wheel spacers

Okay so I can't find a definite answer for this. I want my wheels to stick out of the fender about 1-1.5". Id get new wheels but thats a bit out of the budget and I actually like mine. I have +30mm offset right now which lines basically perfect with the OE fender flare. Would a 1" wheel spacer be a bad idea? My truck is basically a pavement princess with occasional trail riding (nothing too major, just washington trails and puddles).

I also heard i'd need new lugs if I do want spacers. Is this true?

I used to have them on my old Toyota before I got my 150. You always hear horror stories about them falling off driving down the road etc. but for me I never had an issue. I would go off road and play hard on em sometimes. I believe you would need new lugs but it will definitely make the truck have a more aggressive stance and look badass!

Thats what im after is the more aggressive stance. Especially after seeing Fuugz with his -44 offset wheels!. I would get some 0 or -12 offset fuel octanes or hostages but thats out of the question for this moment unless someone comes around wanting my current wheels.

Would I be able to handle a 2" spacer? I think that'd be my desired stance. If not I'll go lower.

I think I had 1.5 in or 2 can't remember. Definitely don't go over 2 in my opinion. Not sure how much. Fourwheelparts always has good stuff. But a quick google will turn up lots

I would look into adapters. Same Idea but they bolt to your existing lugs and have thier own lugs pressed into them. The ones I have are from adaptitusa.com. They have held up really well so far. I only have them in the back because the lift I have pushed the front out enough from stock as it was. Go with the 1.5's for sure. I have a full 6" lift and 33s, and they didn't clear well at all when I had the 2" adapters in the front.

Like those? Would I want a 1.3" or 1.8"? Thinking 1.8... Any would I need a stud upgrade?

Yep, that's the idea! You would have to go 1.8 because our lugs are 1.5. and you would not need any stud upgrade.

I'd save up and just get the wheels. Been there done that with wheel adapters... Didn't like the risk and love the new look with wheels. Here my Hostages with +1 offset.







Stock 20's when I was running 1.75" wheel adapters.
