Tacoma Spare steel rims spacer question

[overlandmachines]

Merry Christmas amazing Mud members! I know this have been discussed in detail, but I don't seem to be able to find a direct answer after searching. I have collected a set of tacoma spare rims and would love to mount them on my 60. I know it requires a spacer (1.5"?) but there seems to be a discussion about hub-centric and lug-centric which I don't understand at all. Does anyone run this setup? Is there a good spacer you are using? which spacers do I need to get? thanks!

I have 17” FJ cruiser steelies which measure 4.5” BS. You need 1.5 inch lug centric spacers for this.

I would imagine that the wheel itself doesn’t really care if it is getting centered by the hub or the lugs, as long as it is centered on the axle itself. The stock wheels were lug centric, this means that the wheel uses the lug itself to center the wheel on the axle as you tighten all the nuts on evenly.

Thank you for the reply. I have ordered a set of 1.5” spidertrax spacers from Amazon ($210 total) will post pics after wheel install for future reference

I posted the exact same question back in August. I got a few answers, but here’s the definitive. And I was also told these wheels are ”lug-centric”.

@NookShneer is correct you need 1.5" spacers all around. I had these on my first FJ60 and that is what the PO had on there.

They will be fine if you get good quality ones. Do not buy cheap ones or you will have nothing but issues.

That rig had a 4" lift and ran 35" TrXus. The PO drove it all over CO and I drove it all over VA. the next owner all of SC and then sold it with the same tires on it. None of us every had issues with the spacers.

Lug centric vs. Hub centric
