    Hello, Bought wheels on marketplace that were off a 2020 Tacoma to upgrade my 2001 tundra 16s to 17s. Didn’t catch the offset difference until after the tires were installed. Ordered 1.5” KSP wheel spacers kit off Amazon (4pc) and now the wheel track difference is obvious. Front tires stick out more than the back. Visibility diff, haven’t pulled a tape yet but it’s somewhere between 0.5”-1.0” diff front to back. Anybody had this problem before? Figured the kit that noted it was compatible would take the wheel track into account.

    ? Spacers change the wheel track. Adding an extra 3 inches is going to change that. The wheel offset difference is ?10mm? Per side, 1”=23.4mm. Maybe im misunderstanding your problem.

    and i havent measured, but i think most trucks have a wider front track anyway.

    Yeah. Front wheels set out further than the back. Wasn’t noticed when they set in fenders prior to spacer install.

    Get some flared fiberglass fenders. 1.5” seems like it would be alot of spacer.

    Mine looks more obvious as well after spacers and Tacoma trd off road wheels I put on. Think that just the way it goes. It was there before the spacers but now that your wheels stick out more, it's more obvious.
    I'm more concerned about your brand choice of spacers. Are they at least hubcentric?

    They are hubcentric. Thanks for the reply.
