Just went with 35x12.50x18 Toyo which are wider than the 285x75x18 that were replaced. So 2inch spacers are installed in order to clear the Upper Control Arms. bit.ly/3XdXfNq subscribe #Tundra #TundraMods #Toyota
Thank you for the great video! Please, please get a torque wrench on those lugs for your safety as well as others on the road. 🇺🇸 Under torqued lugs can come loose, over torqued lugs can have fractures.
You are so right. Planned on getting video of that in the follow up but I had issues with the video. It's getting about time for a tire rotation that would be a good time to check the torque on the spacer. It's recommended to recheck the torque at least every 6000 miles maybe sooner if you are wheeling it pretty hard. Thanks for the comment and the compliment. Fresh installs should be checked after the first 200-300 miles or so.
The nuts securing the spacers still have threads on them to thread down some more. I’ve came across the same thing and decided to get extended studs. Did you already have extended studs or stock? Curious because mines 1.5 spacer and the nuts torques down only half way. I see the nuts on your spacer didn’t cover all the threads on the studs. Is it normal for the nuts securing spacer not seat all the way on the studs?
@@Wheel2LiveOffRoad you were able to seat the nuts securing spacer all the way in on factory stud? I’m not able to do that on 1.5 spacer. Been on forums and had couple suggestions to go with extended studs or extended cone nuts for the spacer on stock studs or both! How many turns did you get on stock studs and stock nuts that came with spacer?
@@_takeit3z yes. The holes are recessed. The holes to secure the spacer leave you with threads that mimic the depth of thread that would show if the wheel were place on the hub. Longer studs weren’t needed.
I used a thin wall deep 7/8 or 21mm on the wheel side. The hub side(spacer to hub) may have used a smaller socket size I'm not sure. Would either be 19,7/8 or 21mm deep socket
I'm curious about the rub after that plastic piece coming out. What spacer lift did you put on the the struts? I am getting ready to bump up to either 295 70 or 35x12.5 on stock pro wheels and just curious how yours has worked out. Right now I have 1.25 wheel spacers.
I'm not sure on the brand of lift as it was installed prior to my purchase but Its approximately a 2 inch spacer. I plan on tackling the plastic areas this weekend to see how much more I can clearance. Really think that 1 to 1.25 wheel spacer would have been perfect with out rubbing but 2 inch was what I went with. If I can cure the rub I really like the look.
@@Wheel2LiveOffRoad I've seen a few Tundra's with the high clearance cut much like the 4Runner like you have don on yours and I used to have done to ours before upgrading to a full Hefty Fabworks bumper.
@@Wheel2LiveOffRoad We have the Hefty Bumper on our 4R and absolutely love it. Nice thing is that it's aluminum so it only weights 65lbs. The owner Chris knows how to use the aluminum and make it very strong. I seen it on another 4R hit a deer at highway speeds and still perfect no issues. In fact he ran it for a few more years and then later upgraded to a different hoop style and sold his old one to a friend.
Changing the wheel is the proper way to get it to fit a +18 offset minimum.. also a 4" lift... literally just go to custom offsets galleries and filter what your trying to run. It helped me alot.
I have a 2021 tundra if I run 285/75/18 on my stock wheels will have have any rubbing issues without spacers or would u recommend a 1 inch spacer or 2 inch space? Thank you for your help.
Somehow I couldnt see your comment. Sorry it took so long for a response. I would have had less issues with something less than 2". I have learned through this that there are tons of variables and that may not be your experience. Thanks for the comment.
@@Wheel2LiveOffRoad question for u I have a 3/2 ready life and stock wheels on my 21 tundra trail edition. If I run 285/75/18 on my stock wheels that come on my truck which r the black wheels not the trd wheels but similar do u think I will have any issues with rubbing?
Just a couple of wheel spacers and all I had to do was remove a wheel. Now. If it would have been a major repair, then yeah I would have double checked everything prior to.
@@Wheel2LiveOffRoad but still, a quick opening of the box would have instantly told you there was a problem. Anyone who orders parts for their vehicle would have checked them out when they got delivered. Then you double down and the day of the install still don’t open the box until the second you need them. Lol
