I swear these stock trucks look like they’re going to tip over. Nice improvement 👍

[@amgeezy_2709]

That’s with no lift? Also might want to use thread locker.

[@Moises-om2fv]

I see it but I don’t see it 😂 next up ko2’s 🔥

[@ismaelmartinez2467]

Do the tires rub when you turn , now that you have the spacers on, with the 65?

[@Mike-tl7uh]

Hey man. First off, wheel spacers may wear out your wheel bearing quicker but not as fast as you'd want to worried about your studs, and overall geometry of your truck's ride quality when off-roading. Typically people throw these spacers on while driving around the city and there aren't plenty of cons to that, but it will put more stress on your ball joints and other mechanisms when compared to the stock geometry. Personally, if you want a nicer stance I would get a wider wheel, not one with offset. Offset can help achieve that look but can also present fitment issues when selecting bigger, meatier, wheels and tires. Look into Maxtrac Spindle lifts which kicks your wheels out 2-3 inches, and does not place any of your ride geometrics in a vulnerable spot. Actually the geometry is almost the exact same as stock out of the factory just a beefier spindle.

[@TheUnrestricted]

thats true

[@cpsmonroe1]

Yes it can put more stress on wheel bearings, but so will non stock wheels with a wider offset. Off roading will also prematurely wear suspension/bearings etc. Some people running bearings hit 100k plus with no issues , some don’t. Im one of the people that haven’t had any issues. Its not like you put them on and 6 mos later your bearings start grinding.

[@HM-vu9zw]

You’re supposed to use a torque wrench when you install these not an impact wrench.

[@joserodriguez-uq1mr]

With 4Runner TRD pro 17” will give you the same effect.

[@andrewlovell7184]

Did you paint the Toyota emblem on the hub caps or did you put over lays on them ? looks sick

[@TheUnrestricted]

Paint

[@blacklegacyassets]

The wheels and tires make the difference

[@mdtoolfan]

No thread lock?

[@wb4514]

Will these affect your wheel alignment of front suspension components ?

[@TheUnrestricted]

yes

[@tomgursslin8583]

I have a 2022 Tacoma. Says fits up to 2018. This one works? I’m looking to add them to my truck as well.

[@TheUnrestricted]

Yes will work

[@stay4theride]

Don’t do it. You will destroy your wheel barrings.

[@culvsy]

are you concerned about wheel bearing prematurely wearing out?

[@TheUnrestricted]

Hm I’ll look into it!

[@Nashalbalushi]

How’s drive of it. Is it smooth drive or rough ?

[@Nashalbalushi]

Thank You 😊

[@James.Markham757Va]

Did you keep these? Looks good

[@TheUnrestricted]

yes thanks

[@James.Markham757Va]

@@TheUnrestricted Appreciate the update

[@donaldstogner9518]

Will cause your weal bearings to wear out

[@robertmcdivitt6264]

Wheel bearing eaters...Learned from past experience on colorado& tacome..definitely improves the look,but not worth it...Spend the $$$ on offset rims

[@TheUnrestricted]

Really ?

[@cpsmonroe1]

I can’t see how spacers would wear out bearings FASTER than a wheel with the same offset. The same forces are at work. While yes, there is slightly more stress on wheel bearings, its no different than running wheels with a wider offset. I installed Bora hubcentric 1.25 spacers after my drivers side wheel bearing failed. I figured it was a good time for spacers since Id have a brand new bearing. 80k miles later still no issues with the drivers side. Interesting the passenger front bearing is still original even with the spacer use. There are pros and cons to spacers, its a topic that will be debated until the end of time. Definitely check spacer torque specs every time tires are rotated, if not sooner. Ripping them on with a gun without checking torque values is asking for trouble , especially after the first 50-100 miles of use .

[@wolfpackstudios3040]

@@TheUnrestricted it's what a lot of people been saying they burn up wheel bearings quicker.

[@christianpeters6579]

Both offset rims and spacers put the same stress on joints. Spacers are just cheaper.

[@JSabucdalao11]

Does this fit with the 2021s or 22's

[@TheUnrestricted]

yes

[@Harbicide]

I needed to space my front tires to allow me to install chains.

[@ManuelRodriguez-qq3pn]

Bro the spacer creates more stress in all the pieces of the front suspension, specially on the wheel bearing.

[@Nobody-tq5qj]

Will this fit 2023 sr5?

[@TheUnrestricted]

yes

[@julianrivera20]

You didn’t torque them or use some locktite? I’m sorry but that’s some sloppy work bud

[@augtrailrider]

I have to agree, with much of the commitment section. Estra suspension wear, need to keep up with alignment. I just can't bring myself to like a video that is not solid info. Other than this video I think your content is solid. Best wishes and please keep the content going.

[@charliemcelveen2418]

245 or 265?

[@TheUnrestricted]

245 but now there 265

[@DerekMahlitz]

$100 🤔🤔 wheel bearing wear 🤔🤔
