Please help really annoying!
So i had wheels with an offset of +2 on my 315/75/16 tires and i was forced to put 1 1/4 spacers on and my 2000 tacoma shook like no other. So i was told it was probably the spacers so i ordered my new wheels with a -11 offset and took the spacers off and the shaking is still here?????? the side it feels like it shakes on is the side that i keep having to replace my brake rotors because there getting grooved days after replacing them and i dont see anything that could be wrong under there, anyone have any suggestions?

Sounds like something is very wrong w/ your brakes, my last set of rotors lasted about 6 years and I only needed to turn them once during that time. Look at your tie rod ends and ball joints too. Check for any torn or leaking rubber boots. If you can't find anything wrong, I would take it to a shop because it could be dangerous.
Does it do it if you coast in neutral?

Sounds like you might have a stuck caliper that is causing premature wear on that rotor.
Try to jack the front of the vehicle up, and try to free-spin that wheel to see if you can turn it by hand.

and i literally have only had the new rotors on for 3 months but it has been doing it the whole time, i heard maybe bad metal since they are made in a diff country and they can come warped

Okay. Check your inner tie rods by shaking the wheel side to side with it off the ground. rack bushings are also a likely cause, autozone etc sells urethane energy bushings. Also, there are rack guide buhsings inside the rack that can wear out on lifted trucks from the ties rods working on an angle instead of flat, this feels just like a worn tie rod.

well. a couple weeks back after i went to a larger tire, i was getting all types of sounds and shakes. then i took a look at my steering rack while turning the wheel. and it was moving back and forth over 1/4 inch. after i put the poly steering rack bushings on it was perfect. if you have anything over stock tires you NEED the poly bushings
