question on Wheel Spacers

I've searched around on here and google and have yet to find what i need...

i need a set of 3/4" spacers, i can find 1" spacers...but i'd prefer some 3/4" ones...

i would just stack 3 of the 1/4" spacers together....but idk if i would have enough of my wheel studs left to safely drive this thing back and forth across the state this summer for work.

my tires are rubbing on my upper control arm (285/75 Toyo M/Ts with 16" rims, 4.25" backspacing i believe) the only reason it's rubbing now is because my Camber is off..when i get it aligned everything will be okay...but it'd still be nice to have some extra clearance





if all else fails i could just grind the lip off of my upper control arm LOL

I am running 1.25" spacers and the work fine. if you can find 1" run those. I don't think you can find 3/4" spacers due to the length of the wheel stud. it is either 2 long to use the 1.25' style set-up. or 2 short to use 3 1/4" spacers stacked. I ran 1.50" spacers on my 89 and the stance was perfect in the front.


and we are going wheeling sunday (15 May) if you feel like driving up here around lunch time. it will be a mainly muddy type trail run. and i have a pressure washer you can use at my house when we are done.

All Pro used to make/sell a 3/4" wheel spacer kit, came with longer studs (Dorman p/n 610-144/front or 610-073/rear). The thicker spacers (actually adapters) have to be thick enough to cover the existing studs/lug nuts then they have their own studs to bolt the wheel to.

thanks for the offer but i gotta pass this time, i just got my 4runner back together (chipped ring gear) and i wanna make sure everything is in good shape before i go wheelin again, i work in Stroud this summer 7 days a week so that'll let me make sure everything is A OK!

I will definitely shoot you a message sometime so i can go wheelin with ya'll!

so i guess i'll just go with the 1" spacers, since those are the smallest i can find.

might do two of the 1/4" spacers...haven't decided yet.

I would be worried about Braking wheel studs with the 2 1/4 wheel spacers stacked like that. can you get away with just one 1/4" spacer?
