Installing 2018 Tacoma wheel spacers is a popular modification, which gives your truck a more aggressive stance and improved handling. By pushing the wheels outwards, wheel spacers create more clearance to keep rims and tires from rubbing against the fenders, shock absorbers, brake calipers, and other suspension components.
This allows you to fit aftermarket wheels with wrong size tires/offset easily. But many people still wonder are wheel spacers safe to use? The short answer is yes, as long as you torque them properly, high-quality wheel spacers are exactly safe to use. In this post, we’ll explore how to install 2018 Tacoma wheel spacers correctly.
How to Install 2018 Tacoma Wheel Spacers Safely?
Installing 2018 Tacoma wheel spacers is simple and most knowledgeable customers can do without problems. Following the installation guidance and using the right tools, you can install them within 1 hour. Here are some key tips:
- Park your vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.

- Remove the wheel nuts and the wheel.
- Clean the hub surface and the backside of the wheel to ensure proper fitment.
- Place the wheel spacer onto the hub, ensuring it sits flush and aligns with the hub assembly.
- Use a torque wrench to torque the spacers in a crisscross sequence (typically 83.3 lb-ft or 113 Nm).
- Carefully remount the wheel, tightening the stock lug nuts initially.
- Lower the vehicle back onto the ground.
- Use a torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts in a star or crisscross pattern.
