3rd gen 2018 Tacoma SpiderTrax wheel spacer install

[@cwillie1492]

You’re like the only one who made sure to get the right picture angles. Thank you. I am new to the Tacoma family and I’m ready to go.

[@mahi-ai-kalo]

Great video! Everything you'd want to know. I thought about the 1.5 inch as well but purchased 1.25. Really glad I did after seeing yours. Looks AWESOME. Thanks dude! 🤙🏼

Im doing it this weekend man !! Im glad I found this video , answered all of my questions

Rick Mccraw Great bro! I’m glad you found it useful!

@@AshtonRegier Man , what a difference ! It made the stance perfect with these stock wheels and My new Duratracs. I think these trucks should have come stock with this footprint. Thanks again for the perfect vid

[@AshtonRegier]

Rick Mccraw awesome bro! I couldn’t agree more I’d definitely say it is my favorite mod so far and I bet it looks amazing with the new shoes! Thanks for the good feed back brother! Merry Christmas!

[@jonnyhalo1041]

I actually like the stock wheels myself. Looks way better with the spacers now 👍🏽

[@SimplyCarReviews]

I added 1.50 inch spacers to my TRD OFFROAD. Paired it with 285/75/16 tires on the OEM wheels.

[@epicwanderlust0331]

S M any rubbing? I’m thinking of doing 1.25” to my 285/75/16

[@SimplyCarReviews]

@@epicwanderlust0331 not during normal driving conditions and I have mud flaps. It will rub slightly during articulation and it is minimal.

[@BrooksyTech]

Nice video, I just ordered a set of these so I can run 285's on the stock SR5 wheels. I will probably use anti seize between the hub and spacer. Already lifted 2.5" inches and will be doing the cab mount chop along with these.

[@AshtonRegier]

Thanks man! Sounds like you have an awesome build going

[@christianvazquez1995]

I have a 2 inch lift, I want to run 285/75/r16 did the wheel spacer help against rubbing with the UCA, and I will have to CMC too I think

[@cmarq007]

Thank you, I was looking at the same spacers, but wasn't sure how it would look, I like it, I didn't want it to stick out too much.

Are you able to see the wheel Spacer with the wheel ?Just wondering why the black is more expensive.

[@Kwat224son]

It completely fixes the look of the truck in my opinion.

[@AshtonRegier]

I couldn’t agree more

[@JeromeCasper]

Looks good bro what are the widest spacers they sell for tacomas?

[@AshtonRegier]

Sorry for the late response bro! Been crazy busy but i honestly don’t know the widest. You can use any as long as it’s hub centric and the right pattern obviously just keep in mind the clearance on the turn radius gets tighter the wider you go

[@Grimgeist]

check this video out! haha kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn-QgH2PgM2Cfrc

[@jerico902]

Looks good, man! Planning on doing this soon.

[@AshtonRegier]

Thanks it’s probably the best improvement to the looks

[@Adventureswjorge]

Great detailed video! Going to be doing the same 👍🏽

[@wb4514]

Truck looks good, bro.

[@wb2194]

I have a question. My experience with Red strength thread locker is that it is nearly impossible to remove the fastener without using heat or breaking the bolt. So, how will you remove the spacers when it comes time for break service?

[@AshtonRegier]

Mine have came right off using a cordless impact. I find red is a pain on smaller nuts and bolts and if you drown it. Thats just my opinion/experience but honestly you could probably get away with blue if you are really concerned

[@antFRGU]

solid channel bro. Yours very thorough

[@AshtonRegier]

Thanks bro I need to get back on it

[@AcuraTechMan]

Get any wobbles or shakes after this?

[@AshtonRegier]

@@AcuraTechMan nope rides like stock. Honestly no difference in driving characteristics

[@vh8765]

I have an O2 tacoma that I’ve been running three-quarter inch spacers on for a few years. Having the left side wheel bearing replaced tomorrow. Coincidence? I don’t know.

[@AshtonRegier]

Leftoverture One ID say that’s just normal wear honestly. You said it’s a 02 so I wonder have they ever been replaced. I’m sure you will find some people who will say that’s the direct cause haha but I disagree I’ll keep running mine till I get new wheels and those will have a different offset than stock so it will be the exact same deal so many people say how terrible spacers are cause offset but nobody says anything about after market wheels that usually are a different offset and are usually accompanied by a bigger tire that also increases the torque and sideload applied to the wheel bearing so basically in my opinion I would say that these are things that only would show up on paper not really that dramatic of a difference mechanically I’m not saying that it doesn’t put more stress on the wheel bearing but I am saying that I don’t think it’s enough to notice

[@vh8765]

The left side has been replaced once before, prior to wheel spacers. Right side has never been replaced. Truck has 230,000 miles on it, owned it since new. I also just did both lower ball joints, and one upper. That’s when I noticed the play in the left bearing.

[@AshtonRegier]

Leftoverture One That is interesting bro that it’s twice on the left it’s hard to say honestly but I still feel like it’s not really that dramatic but I speak from my experiences only it’s definitely debatable haha

[@DinorwicSongwriter]

have you had to change your wheel bearings yet?

[@AshtonRegier]

Nope they are solid

[@tr4ilblazin]

Aye bro you truck stock when you did this right

[@AshtonRegier]

Ray Supra Yep stocker

[@BurtBowers]

Was these used just for looks making tires stick out wider? How much do they run?

[@AshtonRegier]

For looks at first but mainly for bigger and wider tires so you can keep the stock wheels!! They run about 150 a set if I remember correctly

[@kcs1981]

Hi, how do you feel the truck driving now? Do you think is more steady when you turn/cruising with those spacers? Thanks

[@AshtonRegier]

kan su I cant say it’s a huge upgrade performance wise...I guess it might feel a little more stable but I can definitely say it hasn’t made anything worse! Looks a hell of a lot better haha

Any rubbing issues? I’m thinking Of doing 1.25” on 285/75/16 on my TACOMA Trd Pro

[@AshtonRegier]

usmc033187 No sir not one even with the suspension fully compressed

[@bryanr.3241]

Do you feel spacers cause bearing wear or any negativity installing spacers ? I had 1.25 spacers installed on my 2019 Tacoma Off Road to avoid rubbing of tire on upper control arms. Also , I was advised to check them after around 300-500 miles to just ensure they did not come loose. What's your opinion ? Thanks

[@AshtonRegier]

Bryan Resch Honestly running spacers isn’t any worse then after market wheels with a different offset! Most people not only change wheels for the design but also the offset. Whether it’s for clearance to fit bigger tires or just stance/looks the end result is the same if it’s not in spec with the factory hub offset you will increase side load/torque on the wheel bearings doesn’t matter if its spacers or wheels with that said You could make the argument that it will shorten the life of the bearings and it probably does but not by much if any! in my experience I’ve never lost a wheel bearing directly because of offset/spacing most people who have had this happen it’s usually on setups with some miles on it and that’s because as the bearing wears in the races the tolerances change then you put spacers on adding side load and that changes the pressure points on the races and now you’ll end up with the tolerances blown way out and down hill from there but ya man sorry for the long response I just wanted to be clear so In my opinion they are fine I’ve got over 15k on these on and off road no issues ran spacers on my last Tacoma well over 70k with those no issues! The biggest thing is to check them periodically and torque them don’t wanna lose a wheel on the trail or freeway make sure the surfaces are clean no rust or corrosion and you should have nothing but a good experience

[@bryanr.3241]

@@AshtonRegier thanks man , really appreciate the response 👍👍

[@SimplyCarReviews]

@@bryanr.3241 will it wear more? yes. But not by much. If that was the case why would Toyota install TRD PRO wheel with +6 VS the +25 for the TRD OFFROAD if it will cause excessive wear and tear? Install it and enjoy the clean look and wider footprint that comes with installing QUALITY spacers.

[@Asillsx]

Do you have a lift on the Tacoma or is that stock? If stock, did you have any rubbing or have to trim when using those 1.25 spacers?

[@AshtonRegier]

Andrew Sills I’m running a leveling kit up front but if you have stock tire size I’d bet you still wouldn’t have to trim on stock ride height

Matt Monroe No there is no rubbing at all locked left or right! I do a lot of trail riding for camping and fishing trips and even compressed nothing, reverse nothing so it’s awesome

[@mattmonroe5680]

@@AshtonRegier do you think the 1.5in wheel spacers would rub at all? I'm leaning towards the slightly wider since I installed rokblokz mudflaps

[@AshtonRegier]

Matt Monroe Honestly I think it would be fine. Are you leveled or running a lift? Taller tires? I’m running a level kit right now and I’m confident I’d have no rubbing at all and even on stock hight I’d still have good clearance. As it sits right now turned all the way and compressed I still have good clearance so I think 1.5 would be right on the wire but clear

[@bxutuber]

21mm socket?

Russxm Ya bro I believe it’s 25mm

[@ROFLgator1]

I heard that putting spacers was bad for our trucks. Bearing issues. Is there any truth to that?

[@AshtonRegier]

ROFLgator No it’s not any different or worse than running after market wheels with a different off set than stock which almost everyone does haha so I’d say no it’s not bad but if you wanna be real technical you could make that argument but if that’s the case then anyone running aftermarket setups for lift and bigger tires are screwed

[@timsr.6706]

I've had the same Spidertrax spacers on my 2016 Tacoma TRD Off Road for about 2 years now with 3" lift, stock wheels with 285/75/16 Falken mt's. No problems at all, they did put it out of alignment slightly on my truck, not sure about anyone else. I have free lifetime alignments at my tire shop. It was out after the 3" lift, they aligned it, took it back a few weeks later after the spacer install, it was out a little bit. Might want to get it checked.

[@AshtonRegier]

Tim Sr. Iv has to do my alignment also no big deal and iv had spacers before with nothing but good experiences

[@timsr.6706]

@@AshtonRegier I love the stock wheels, wanted to keep them, after the 3" lift and putting on 285/75/16's they were rubbing some, had to remove mud guards, still rubbed some, so I got the same spacers you got, they are heavy duty, very nice, fixed my rubbing problems, plus it looks a lot nicer too. I was always leary of wheel spacers, but am impressed with these, no problems.
