Downsides?

What are, if any, the downside to putting wheel spacers on my rig?

I just want the wider look...not wider tires.

Any good places to get them from...and cheap?

I found some a while back for about 15-17 bucks a piece. And how hard are those to put on???

Thanks guys, I'm gonna run a search on here and see what else I can turn up but please lemme know ANYTHING about them!!

Thanks again.

Found the site I was at before, here is the link and tell me if you think these are what I need.

Thanks guys!

And do you think 1" would be too much of an increase? I am thinking maybe 3/4"...

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Thanks again!

IIRC, I didn't think you wanted to go too wide on those spacers as they strain your wheel studs and other front end "stuff".

IIRC? I don't want to go extremely wide I just want to get some pertrusion from the wheel well. Right now they the wheels are still inside the wells.

Wheel spacers a good idea or bad idea?

Wheel spacers

I'm not sure if they have them for the 4Runner, but you may want to check out...

H&R Springs

Hope this helps.

Sounds like they are more for street racing applications...but I will give them a call once I find if it is safe/smart to use wheel spacers at all.

Thanks for the link man!

IIRC - If I ReCall

I know All Pro has 3/4" ones and 1 1/2" ones. For the cost of the 1 1/2" spacers, you could get black rock crawlers with a different offset.

All Pro Off-Road

What about that link that I posted...they were for like 16 bucks a piece. Do you think it would be worth buying all new wheels?

Thanks man...any more help would be appreciated.

IIRC - I'll keep that one mind, ya learn something new everyday!!

Yeah, Cebby has a point, go with rims that have the wider offset.

The H&R spacers for the 4runner are over an inch (30mm) and they are $180 a pair... yikes!
