    I recently got Mickey Thompson tires had them on stock wheels 295/70/18s. Or 34s. They where running 3/2 level kit two inch spacers they fit fine with some mods (mud flaps and front plastic). I had a issue with the tires and got new rims and a warranty set of tires. They are TIS 18mm offset. Put on but with the spacers 2inches they rub on frame and front bumper. Took spacers off they fit fine now. I really don't need 2 inches with that offset anyway. I would like some spacer. Anyone have any idea if 1.5 or 1.25 or 1inch would fit? Don't want to go through it all again if they don't fit

    I am assuming that your wheels are 9 inches wide. I would not install any wheel spacers with 18 mm offset wheels. Take a look at your set up now. You will notice that your tires come very very close to the body mount.

    Welcome to the forum.

    I'd stick with the 18 offset with no spacer.

    Any less than 18 offset and you'll have serious rub no matter what you do.

    Yes they are 9inches wide. Can't get refund on the spacers only a replacement in size. I don't want to throw money away would like 1 inch at least but I don't want rubbing. I like the way they looked with the spacers but the new offset really looked kinda silly. Gonna need fender flares if I do space it again. That's a pic but it's still in the lift there

    Try and sell them in this site's marketplace forum. I'm sure someone'll snatch them up.

    Otherwise...might have to eat the money. We all had to do it at one point :annoyed:

    Stock wheels with 2 inch wheel spacers will give you about 9 mm equivalent offset. But because stock wheels are only 8 inches wide, the outer edge of stock wheel with spacers will be just about at the same point of 22 mm offset wheels that are 9 inches wide. So with 18 mm offset after-market wheels, you have tires/wheels sitting further out than your previous set-up. You could add spacers and push them even further out if you are willing to go with smaller tires. But would you want to?

    Your truck looks awesome, by the way.

    Looks perfect without the spacers. That's my favorite color on a Tundra too. But if you can exchange them, I would exchange them for 1.5". A lot easier to sell 1.5" than 2" here.

    @chphilo saved me from having to do math calculations. haha, but what he said. Your new wheels gave you the same aggressive stance you wanted initially which is why you added the spacers to the OEM wheels in the first place. Now, you have the look w/o spacers.

    Thanks for the compliment. The picture is before I took the 2 inch spacers off. They kinda sit far in at this point with the spacer off. My math is awful so I am not sure I will fit but I am going to return the 2 inch and get the 1.25 spacer if they don't work I will just sell them. Hard to find anything smaller with out making modifications on the spacer. I ordered the bushwhacker flares as well don't want the flare sitting out past the wheel. I know it's kinda minuscule the difference but I get something in my head I can't get it out till I do it.

    With your tires size and +18 wheels, adding a 1.25" spacer will put you at a -13.8 offset. You'll have major rubbing and almost definitely a CMC.
