    So I just put newer gen wheels on my 1991, little did I know they rubbed the upper control arm a bit, I somehow didn’t notice and drove it ruining my front tires, they are not the correct offset I assume, what do you guys think my best options are? Spacers 1.25 spidertrax I ran some boras on a taco I had with no issues but they make me nervous. I love the wheels got em dirt cheap. Or should I just buy some new steelies with proper offset and backspace? Also what is the proper offset and backspace so I know what wheels I could buy ? Thanks guys sorry for the rant

    Hey thanks for the response that’s what I had on my taco and I remember having to trim studs, also it’s not the wheel I just tried to refit the stick wheels the still rub, looking at fat bobs directions he says you might have to run 1/4 inch spacers up from to compensate for the new control arm angle, 1/4 seems sketchy loosing thread room like that...

    I think it would look great with these.
