Not trying to be the know it all guy but I was always told growing up to lay the tire under the vehicle when removed so if you're Jack or stands fail it gives you space to survive the drop maybe 👍
This all looks great! Very informative. Thanks for sharing about your lift too. Nice and subtle but gives it that perfect stance in my opinion. I think I’ll be looking at this same set up myself. 👍
sitting here waiting for the same rims to show up along with the same size tires...... thanks for posting so I can day dream a bit until my parts get here!
Looks frikkin beautiful. Perfect in my opinion. Good taste, nothing overdone.. all the mods blend together seamlessly and create an awesome asthetic. Definitely better without the spacers. Well done sir. Enjoy.
Those rims look really nice. They go perfect with that gun metal gray metallic color of the truck, and you’re right a truck should have a little bit of a forward lean. Nice job.
I did a leveling kit 2 up front and 1 in the rear running 18x9 fuel vapor wheels with 305 65 r18 nitto ridge grappler tires it turned out looking better than what I thought. In a way I wish I just of went with the TRD PRO WHEELS
I agree with ya.Looks really sharp. I have the same color truck in a LIMITED. Want to lift about 2 to 2.5 inches and keep the rake. I’ve been looking at the same tire setup... 👍
Ha... Cape Coral Florida.... I saw the trash bins...Excellent... I like those wheels the best and I hate all the black ones all the new ones come with...
This was my first Tacoma, 2015 Trd Sport pre runner pyrite Micah was the color and I loved it. Got stuck in the mud at the lake and from there on I went with 4x4, but man I loved that truck so much.
as a fellow taco owner to another nice set up man. I did a leveling kit wheels n tires on my 2020 taco and I love it. I did the trd wheels on bf Goodrich tires next mod im gonna do is get the trd skid plate 🙂
Your channel was recommended. Great video, steady filming,informative. I put those TRD wheels in black on my FJ 5 years ago. Bought a 5th for the spare because it’s displayed. I agree that these stock rims look great from a Toyota. I also put on the Bilstein adjustable shocks / struts. I’ve been contemplating spending the money on Spidertrax wheel spacers. Again great video, I subscribed ✌️
Outstanding!!! Truck looks ten-fold better. I have a 2018 Inferno TRD Off Road and plan to update my wheels and tires at some point. No hurry per the wife 😀. I am more of an aesthetics person and love the look you now have. I too don’t like tires that stick out too far. Nothing wrong per se, just not my style. Sharp truck and great videos. Take care!
Fezz’s Tacoma thank you! I appreciate your comment. More to come! The mounted ratchet straps I put in the bed are amazing. Posting that video this weekend.
2022 Tacoma off road, 275/70R17 KO2’s. Factory levelling kit. Without driving hard, easily under 15L/100km. Smooth ride. Installed spidertrax 1.25” spacers yesterday. Rough ride, 16.2-17L/100km right off the hop (dont know high speed results yet). Going on a 2500km trip (5000 return), seriousely debating if the “cool factor” is worth the extra $ in gas and rougher ride, as well as wear & tear…
That looks good, thanks for sharing. I wish they made those wheels unpainted. I have a silver TRD Off Road Premium 4Runner coming and I would like that design in a brighter color. That grey looks great with your paint.
Glad you nixed the spacers, and you will be too....most tire shops won't work on your truck because of them....liability from torque issues. I tried the spacers and not only did they create rubbing, but got a lot of splash from mud....basically rendered my mud flaps useless. Also glad you kept some rake....people forget they're trucks! Going badge less is a good look too!
Nice truck i don’t have a taco yet but when i do im going for something very similar you your set up definitely removing the decal I didn’t realize it looks so much better without it 👍
Those wheels and tires look perfect on your truck, I want to get a set for my 07 prerunner. Good call on no spacers, I had a set on my last truck and it made the truck drive horribly - your truck looks way better without them. Sweet rig, you did it right - surprised you didn’t mention that badass trd pro grill when you were naming your upgrades
Tristin Smith thanks! Agreed. I didn’t remove them but I cut them down. Check out the video. What don you think of the tapered look? ua-cam.com/video/D4rarsIANTc/v-deo.html
Thanks! That was originally the plan but when I had them off I wasn’t crazy about that look so that’s what I decided to chop them up. I figured if I screwed them up I would just leave them off.
MUCH better without the spacer. I've always hated the look of trucks with the wheels sticking way out, looks dumb to me. Also, a lot of people think all of the OEM wheels have the same offset, but the TRD wheels have a wider offset than the stock wheels, I think it's a difference of about 25mm, which probably is enough for the look you want. I have a 2020 Tacoma that I'll be doing a similar setup on and I plan to use the same wheels in matte black, but with no spacer. They should line up with the fender flare perfectly. Now that I see the gray TRD wheels on a magnetic gray truck, I might actually go that route instead of the matte black wheels, but I think it'd look great either way.
I was trying to compare how much your stock wheels stick out compared to the trd wheels with no spacers. Looks like the trd wheels stick out slightly more than the stock wheels. Looks good.
TheTacoMan yes. Slightly more is accurate. I’d say perfect without spacers. I think the wheel offset combined with the way the tire sidewall ends up because of the mounting bead at the rim makes the perfect alignment with the fender flare. Thanks for the comment!
Truck looks great!! I have the same color on my TRD sport. Love the bull bars. Does it interfere with the front sensors? Thinking about adding one after seeing your truck. Beautiful!!!
So many like minded people out there! I have a 2021 Tacoma TRD Sport Premium on order from the factory and I am counting the days.......about 35 more....... What to buy, what to buy for mods?????
These tires do not have a noticeable fuel increase. I also was worried about that but it gets pretty Close to what I did before. Thanks for the comment
you dont want spacers, extra stress on wheel bearing and I talk from experiance, I have Spidertrax 1.25 with OEM 265/ 17 tires and wheels. @ 75 MPH just a little vibration, but the truck looks so much better
woof 359 thanks! Agreed. Knew it instantly. Aside from what you’re mentioning, the look was not what I was going for. I’d imagine the stress would shorten MB the life for sure.
You hit the nail on the head with your setup! I've been wanting to do this for some time now, just didn't know what size blocks/ spacers to get. How is the ride quality? close to stock?
im glad u took off the spacers. spacers are bad, you re giving the earth leverage over your suspension. the axis of the wheel should be the center, by poking the wheel out, the axis is further out and bad for suspension geometry imo
Great video, what brand of 2.25 spacer did you install? And in the rear, you mentioned first you added a leaf then a block. In the end, how much lift was with the add a leaf and block to continue w the rake look? Thank you for your informative video. JC
Check out my Tacoma playlist there is a video that actually shows a tape measure of the difference in height. I would say I did 1 inch in the front and 2 inches in the back.
I'm looking at the same wheels for my 2015 Tacoma. I've been doing some research though because they aren't the same width or offset from the stock wheels and there may be issues running the bigger tire at stock height. The Tacoma TRD Sport wheels are 17×7.5 with a +30mm offset. The 4Runner TRD Pro wheels are 17×7.0 with a +04mm offset. So, even without spacers, the wheels are already going to be 26mm (1") farther out than the Sport wheels. The rubbing is due to moving tire size 265/65R17 -> 265/70R17. It's a 13.25mm (½") taller sidewall. The negative from stock offset and lift helps negate that though. I'm trying to figure out if I can get away with no lift and the 265/70R17 tires. Seems Husky mud flaps might help, I guess they mount slimmer, or none at all. How does it all feel after driving on them for a while now?

Definitely looks better without the spacers; really nice looking truck. I have a dumb question: did they have to grind your original studs so they wouldn't stick out past the spacers? If they did, are they long enough now that you've removed the spacers?
Very good view... Sick tacoma bro.. love it. after 3 years are you still rocking the same leveling kit? do you like it.. what brand you went with? Im thinking on doing it on my Taco.
Or you could remove the flaps. The flaps reduce clearance by A LOT and with them being bolted on hard plastic, if they do catch on something, you risk damaging the fender and where they're attached.
Those TRD wheels are perfect match for Your truck, Looks great.

Check out my Tacoma playlist there is a video that actually shows a tape measure of the difference in height. I would say I did 1 inch in the front and 2 inches in the back.
I'm looking at the same wheels for my 2015 Tacoma. I've been doing some research though because they aren't the same width or offset from the stock wheels and there may be issues running the bigger tire at stock height.
The Tacoma TRD Sport wheels are 17×7.5 with a +30mm offset.
The 4Runner TRD Pro wheels are 17×7.0 with a +04mm offset.
So, even without spacers, the wheels are already going to be 26mm (1") farther out than the Sport wheels.
The rubbing is due to moving tire size 265/65R17 -> 265/70R17. It's a 13.25mm (½") taller sidewall. The negative from stock offset and lift helps negate that though. I'm trying to figure out if I can get away with no lift and the 265/70R17 tires. Seems Husky mud flaps might help, I guess they mount slimmer, or none at all.
How does it all feel after driving on them for a while now?
the ride is rough but not as rough as my daughters stock jeep for perspective. the only rubbing was the little flap that hangs down that i removed.
Looks good with or with spacers 👍👍👍
Chris Ace thank you!

Or you could remove the flaps. The flaps reduce clearance by A LOT and with them being bolted on hard plastic, if they do catch on something, you risk damaging the fender and where they're attached.
