Wanting to know peoples thoughts on front wheel spacers on a lifted 100 to bring the front tracking back to normal. If so what size?, brand?, material? are they.

Cheers
 
I opted for no wheel spacers and installed 315/75/16 BFG KM2's about a month ago. I gotta say I just took them trail riding for 4 days and around town I'm not experiencing the rubbing I thought I might have. Vet happy with my setup right now. I can tell I've moved to a 35 but it's real hard to get them to rub at all. Maybe others have had different results but everyone riding with me last weekend felt no rubbing even on the more difficult trails.

Hi, could you give me some info on your suspension set up, I'm trying to install the same size and type tyres as yours on my 2000 LX470.
Thank you for the help.....

100% necessary and usefull in many occasions!

I run a set of spacers to compensate for different backspacing on a set of special addition tundra "Rock Warrior" wheels. These wheels look great on my LX and wouldn't trade these wheels for any other wheel available in the market. The spacers work perfectly and have "Zero" downsides. They also widen the stance on a hundy with the stock 16 wheels getting rid of the "Railcar" look.

those wheels are rad man. are the fake bead locks?
 
Yes the Beadlocks are fake. The best part was i paid $950 for the rims and tires. Tires were off a 2010 and over 80% tread remaining. I looked for almost 6 months for this deal as the set normally goes for $1300-$1800. I only wish the tires wern't e rated and weight 59 lbs each. I lost apx 1.5 mpg with the heavy tires.

That's crazy, just this morning on the way to work, I saw a white Tundra with those wheels, and was wondering how they'd look on a cruiser. Thanks for showing....they look nice.

Looks good though depending on what one does wheeling, suspension and tire-wise they could run into fitment/rubbing problems with that wheel/tire combo. Glad it works for you!
