Many people wonder: “What size 3rd gen 4Runner spacers do I need?” Let’s answer first. For most OEM 3rd gen 4Runner, you can use 1-inch to 2-inch wheel spacers with no problem.

3rd Gen 4Runner Wheel Spacers Before and After
Whether you’re looking to fit bigger AT tires or simply aiming to improve the wheel style and ride quality, installing the right-size 4Runner wheel spacers is the easiest way to go. Depending on the wheels or applications, there are a range of potential stock wheel spacer sizes, including 1-inch (25mm) to 2-inch (50mm). Here are the pros and cons of these sizes:
- 4Runner 1” Spacers:
If you want to fit new wheels without significantly altering the wheel offset, then 1-inch wheel spacers are the option. - 4Runner 1.25” Spacers:
Medium-sized 1.25-inch wheel spacers are more popular for enthusiasts who want to push their wheels further out from the suspension for a more aggressive stance. - 4Runner 1.5” Spacers:
By increasing the track width, these 1.5-inch 4Runner wheel spacers help reduce body roll, which in turn leads to better handling, increased driver confidence, and more comfortable driving. - 4Runner 2” Spacers:
These 2-inch spacers are commonly used with a lift kit. By creating more inner wheel clearance, they are helpful in removing rubbing issues.
