    I have a 2021 Venture with the TRD wheels and 265/70/17.
    I was thinking of going up to a 275 but the car is a lease and don't know if I want to invest in a whole new set of tires. Anyone run a stock set up and just add the spacers? Just curious here...

    Thanks in advance!

    No reason why you couldn't.

    I have spacers with stock TRD wheels. The difference being I have 285s and a small lift.

    You can probably find one parked at your local mall.

    Especially if you plan to keep the stock tires I suggest going with 2 new Eibach or Bilstein adjustable struts for the front + two new matching shocks for the rear. Total around $400 and it will allow you to raise the front a little so the truck looks like a "Pro" model. You could then add a small (1/2") spacer, or a taller (1" lift) spring to the rear, if you wanted, and raise the front a little more, for a bit of a lifted look. Much lift on little stock tires starts to look really silly though, at least IMO.

    Watch out for a spacer that effectively lengthens the spring, as the OEM shocks aren't designed to extend that far.

    I think he's talking about wheel spacers here.
