If you don't get any responses this time around, you might try over in the Tech part of CF. Good luck!

Rob, what exactly are you trying to accomplish with the spacers? Are you getting fender rub or do you just want to push your wheels out a little?

Personally I'm not very comfortable with spacers or adapters for that matter. I had adapters on the rear wheels of my 01 Toyota Tacoma (my winter car) althought I never had a problem with them for the short period of time I had them on there I constatly found myself checking the side view mirrors to make sure the wheels weren't wobbling or coming lose.

Beings I moved from California to Colorado I said the heck with it and traded the 01 2WD Tacoma on a 02 4x4 Tacoma. Now that I've got a 4WD it's yet to snow but that's a different story. lol

If you do decide to go with spacers depending on the size of the spacer you should purchase some extended studs and make sure their not that Chinese crap. The one thing you don't want to do is try to save a buck when it comes to your safety.

I purchased my adapters from Fred at wheeladapters.com. He's a little bit more expensive but he he has an excellent product, is a wealth of information when it comes to spacers and adapters and will provide you with the exact product your looking for.

Hope this helps

Mud
