    Just bought a 2014 Tundra a couple months ago. The used car dealer had installed a set of these spacers:

    My question is are these "too cheap"? I have an issue trusting cheap parts, so looking for opinions on whether or not I should ditch them for something a little higher quality.

    Me personally, I would toss them and get Spidertrax or Bora if you want spacers. I have never hear of that brand.

    BTW, no need to run any of those spacers with stock wheels and 275/70-18 tires. I run that tire size on my stock truck and wheels, no issues or clearance problems at all. I would pull the spacers unless you absolutely need them for extra clearance with bigger tires.

    That's kinda what I was thinking, thanks for the input guys. I'll look into those brands. Figured anything named "Hex" had to be pretty low-end.

    Yeah, I'm aware that they'll fit without the spacers. I like the stance and plan on getting offset wheels down the road, but want to keep the stance as is for now, just don't like running Amazon crap

    I hear some have vibrations using any spacer, if you don't need them get rid of them.

    No worries! I was hoping you'd direct me to a group buy thread where I could get them for half price. I ordered a set of BORA spacers for my CRV years ago and they were very nice pieces. They were $235 shipped then, so these bigger spacers, in 2021 with materials being what they are, don't seem too far off.

    Sorry to get your hopes up! Wish that was the case. Leaning towards the Boras. I like the fact they're built to order, but I saw that you can get them already built off eBay for a few bucks more
