My rims aren't in the greatest shape. I found a set of new take off Tundra rims, will they fit my Cruiser?

You use a shorter lug nut to attach the spacer so that the face of the spacer has none of your existing lugs or nuts showing. The spacer has 6 new lugs spaced in between the holes that you mount your wheel on.
Here is my front with my "brushed" aluminum AISIN lockout hub. The pic really doesn't do it justice with the smoked metallic Sequoia/Tundra rim. It looks pretty good in my opinion...
Need to get the center cap in a drill press to try and cut out the center. With the spacers it will nearly be flush with the hub dial so should look pretty good.

I run 1" spacers. anything over doesn't make 100% contact with the hubs. Don't forget, our rigs ride on the hubs, not lugs (like tacoma). So you want NO real weight on the lugs...which is what over spacing you will do.

inacoma said:My spacers don't have this lip. Not sure if I've ever seen one, can you snap a pic of yours? Does this lip essentially extend the hub diameter?? Wheel specific spacer??? I have the std 6 lug to 6 lug from Performance.
I guess I would feel safer having the wheel sit on the stock hub...mainly cuz I sometimes tend to wheel pretty fast and hit the occassional bump pretty hard. I would rather that force be directed where it was designed to be directed. Of course, now i'm just "playing" engineer. 1" has worked well for me in keeping the entire wheel surface on the stock hub surface. But I am interested in what your spacer looks like still.

LandCruiserPhil said:They are made by Crow Automotive. Sorry no pics but I will try to remember the next time they are off. The spacer fits very tight on the hub and has a 1/4" lip that fits into the center of the Welds wheel. They claim them to be wheel centric and hub centric.
