    I have a 2019 tundra trd pro
    Stock / OEM 18” rims and I desire to get some brakes but they say I’ll need 1/2 spacers on the front. So what does that look like ?

    these are the brakes
    https://racingbrake.com/2254-k/

    It seems like a futile idea as of right now because I don’t really want to get spacers especially having a staggered wheel setup on a truck

    what are your thoughts
    thanks in advance

    You would have to run the spacers on all four to make it look right.

    I would probably look around at different setups.

    UPDATE: There is a kit that you dont need to use a spacer for and the company sent me an email link to it. That being said
    i am not sure about the rear brakes and that is something to consider but better than a reverse stagger. I have a X50i with staggered wheels well its more like my wifes lol.
    @ColoradoTJ a staggerd look is nice on some vehicles but never in reverse on anything lol. As you suggest I am looking at alternatives. One thing that was mentioned to me what EBC brakes. Most of the guys have 20" or bigger rims that I've spoken with and I don't want to go that route because that is not my vision.


    @reywcms thanks for the link. I actually spoke with the rep and it was a great conversation. One thing that got me was you can only use their pads so that is something to consider. I greatly appreciate the help and the feed back.. really I do. Brakes is the final step in this build for me i believe.

    Correct- Not really a concern for me as the level of performance gained is significant.

    I understand it was just something to consider. about how long do you get from your pads? From talking to the rep I have to look into something he suggested before purchasing but one thing I like about it is they are the same all the way around.

    I wouldn't be surprised if I see 30k+ miles at least. I've had them on over a year with hard use and they barely look worn. Few years on the old mans rig with the same results

    My apologies, but I can't remember what size tire you are running, and iirc you are on the OE Pro suspension... if my recollection is correct, something to keep in mind is that folks with 295/70s or 285/75s on the OE pro set up are usually fine w/clearance as long as they avoid spacers. However, when they add a spacer to get a little poke (usually for appearance and not function), they end up w/rubbing issues...

    Thank you very much
    I’m running on oem suspension but with 305 sized tires. Had breakfast this morning discussing this and the one thing I’d nothing else that came from it is no spacers at all.
