    Hey what sup fellas, I’m new to the tundra truck world and got a few questions. I went thru a lot of the threads posted but didn’t find answers.

    First off, have anyone use these spacers from Amazon? I was going to go with spidertrax 1.25” but found these but there are not a lot of reviews. 207E4AC8-A846-4DC6-AFD7-8A9CF54095FB.jpg

    Second, what is the biggest tires I can go with if I have 1.25” spacer with stock trd off-road wheels and suspension. I’m not sure what suspension package comes with the trd off-road package but the front and rear shocks are the blue and yellow Bilsteins.

    Thanks in advance!

    So I personally have spent a ton of time researching this as I've recently had to add wheel spacers for my setup, so I will offer some of the guidance I've found.

    First, be very careful of the company you choose to buy your spacers from; you can buy cheap, but you are literally risking your life if the product fails while you are driving 70mph down the road and a wheel falls off saving $100 isn't gonna matter. The only 2 companies that I found that seemed worth anything were BORA and SPIDERTRAX - I'm not saying KSP is bad, but I never saw anyone actually recommend them in my research. I found a lot of helpful info from Custom Offsets Youtube, I'd recommend watching the first 5-10 videos in this list:

    https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=custom+offset+spacers

    These videos will give you a heap of good knowledge.

    On your second question, you'll learn more about it in the YouTube videos I recommended above, but adding wheel spacers will not necessarily give you room for larger tires...they explain it in the videos better than I can, but the short version is - by pushing the wheel out you can run into issue of the wheel hitting the bumper or fenders.

    If you are looking to add larger tires I'd recommend looking at lifting over wheel spacers.
