wheel spacers

I'd like to widen my stance a little but i'm in no position to do new tires. so i want to do wheel spacers. i'm looking at the 2" ones from TG. does anyone have experience with these? i'm worried about vibration and such......help and advice would be appreciated. other links or comperable prices would be welcomed too. thanks.

Lots of differing opinions on wheel spacers but with proper maintenance and not expecting your truck to ride like a BMW they are fine as I daily drove mine with them for a long time with no problems.

We sell them and will save you sales tax but ship from TG.

ok wab, i like what i see on your site. i think i'd like to run the 1.5" spacers, but are there any downsides to using them with ifs? is it going to be less strong? any thoughts or warnings would be nice.

I have 1.5" spacers on my xterra(i pick up my 4runner tomorrow) ive wheeled the hell out of it, daily driven the hell out of it, its road handling has definitely gotten better. havent had a problem yet, at first i rubbed on the bumper at fuul turn, but my dremel fixed that quick. its got more stability offroad for the obvious reasons, the only risk i can imagine is it may put more stress on the ball joints just as you can put more torue with a longer breaker bar.
i think you'd be fine
