Spacer help (1 Viewer)

Hey all! I just bought my forever(4 real this time,lol) 2020 HE on BaT with only 12k miles. It came with new 285/60/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers on Ironman foam cell pro suspension. The tires look small for the truck. Not familiar with the Ironman setup. Hopefully it’s good stuff. My previous cruiser had BP-51 and wasn’t a fan of it.

I want to add 285/70/18 tires and considering the best spacer option since I really don’t want to swap out the Heritage wheels for better offset wheels which would be the best option of course. I don’t like the idea of adding spacers but this truck will be used for big road trips mostly pavement but also including the Pan-American highway and fire roads.

Just to give you a data point I am running 275/70/18 with 1" BORA spacers and the wheels sit perfectly flush with the fenders. No spacers related issues to speak of after 25,000 miles.

Have 275/70R18 with 0.75 inch front and 0.875 rear spacers and tires sit just inside the fender edge. No problems, but make sure you get hub-centric spacers and check torque when rotating tires (I needed to tighten one stud up one time.)

OK your right, here's the pics (spacers installed after suspension ( 1-1/2 inch Eibach) upgrade, but before other mods.

Nice get dude. The SD truck was nice but nothing beats low miles.

Absolutely agree! The truck is practically new inside and out. I also wanted to add my own mods.

Go straight to a 1" bora spacer and 295/70r18. There's an article on it. Just need to mold fender liners mostly. That's what I'm running. Works great!

I’m surprised your drivers side tire doesn’t rub at full right turn. I had 295/70r18 on my previous 200 with 1.25” Spidertrax and it rubbed the lower bar pretty good. Do you have any pics of your setup?

I was following that auction, good buy! I’d of chose this one over that one that was out in San Diego as well.

My bad. Forgot to mention that I have an LX, not a LC. No KDSS for me.

275/70/18 with factory spec wheels and 1.25 in spacers

285/70 would sit a bit better I think…

Sorry, 2016+ photos would be more relevant. Here are a few of factory sized tires with 1.25 in spacers.

Again, bigger tires would look that much more aggressive… happy to take some more specific photos if it would be helpful

Still looks good. Makes a big difference having the tires more in line with fender

Or maybe a 305/65R18

My little LC wouldn’t be able to do pull it off I don’t think, might need an LX for something that ambitious
