5MM-10MM Wheel Shim

I have not been able to get a very good answer on this, but I was wondering if anyone has used a thin wheel shim instead of a full blown spacer. I ask this because I have a Land Cruiser and my passenger wheel is barely rubbing on a Suspension part at full lock and pushing the wheel out 5MM would solve the issue.

Any thoughts on placing that size of a shim between the wheel and the wheel hub?

P.S I posted to Mud and know one commented... hopefully someone here has some experience with this.

Thanks

 

The studs on tundras are just long enough for enough thread engagement. A 5mm spacer will present two problems:

-you will no longer be hubcentric and thus putting the load bearing weight on the studs and not the hub

- second, you won’t have enough thread engagement using stock length studs.

 

Terrible idea

 

Look at that an answer in less than 15 minutes. You folks are great! I assumed that would be a problem, but wanted to confirm. Thanks!
