SPACED OUT: WHEELSPACE­RS.CA

It has now been a year since I purchased my Toyota Tundra and I have finally burnt off the original rubber. Now is the time to go big. But how big can I go with the stock offset rims….? The answer is not big enough! If you are like me and would like to install larger tires but maintain the factory wheels, spacers may be the answer for you.

Wheel spacers are not an item you want to cheap out on. Wheelspace­rs.ca uses nothing but the finest materials to manufactur­e their spacers and as such are machined from a solid block of Canadian aluminum, utilizing Raybestos and Dorman studs. No fillers, flakes or Chinesium. These are the best of the best!

Fitting the standard 35”x12.5x18 is just not feasible on the Tundra unless you do some major modificati­ons, including cutting and relocating the front body mounts and removing a good amount of the fender liner. I already installed a 2"+1" Truxxx leveling kit (installati­on article in issue 21.5 of 4WD

Magazine) and now chose to go with the Firestone Destinatio­n MT-2 in a 295/70R18. These run at 34.3” tall and are 1.5” narrower than a standard 35” tire. Unfortunat­ely, this size still creates a few issues and requires a couple small modificati­ons in order to get them to fit.
