The Toyota Tacoma wheel spacers 1.5-inch and 2-inch are two popular sizes among many off-roading enthusiasts. These spacers go between the wheels and vehicle hubs to push the wheels outward for a wider track. A wider track enables your tires to grip the road surface better, and the rollover resistance is enhanced.
But there are also a few things to consider before bolting them on. For example, 1.5-inch vs 2-inch, which size is better for my Tacoma? It depends on your current modifications and personal preference. In this post, we’ll take a look at 2025 Toyota Tacoma 1.5-inch wheel spacers before and after, and the best spacer brand.
Tacoma Wheel Spacers 1.5-inch vs 2-inch, The Debate is Over
Flush Fitment:
For an OEM wheel setup, Tacoma 1.5” wheel spacers provide a perfect flush stance. And 2-inch spacers will make the wheels protrude slightly beyond the fender, achieving a more aggressive wheel style.
Wheel Offset:
Simply put, a 1.5-inch wheel spacer will reduce about 38.1mm offset. A 2-inch spacer will reduce about 50.8mm offset. Lower offsets make the wheels sit further out. Therefore, compare the current wheel offset and the final offset you want, then the result is the perfect thickness.
Tire Width:
Wider tires can fill the wheel well more, so you may need a thinner spacer (like 1.5-inch). On the other hand, narrower tires may require thicker spacers (like 2-inch).
Extra Modifications:
If you added a wide-boy kit or a lift kit with stock wheels and tires, you would need 2-inch wheel spacers to avoid rubbing issues. A lifted truck with 2-inch spacers looks bolder and more powerful.
Legal Considerations
Installing wheel spacers on Tacoma is typically legal in most countries and regions, but some states require the tires to stay within the body width. In this case, Tacoma wheel spacers 1.5-inch may be a better option.
What Are the Best Tacoma Wheel Spacers 1.5 inch for Sale?
If you choose BONOSS forged Tacoma wheel spacers, you’re opting for safety, performance, and trusted quality. BONOSS has the engineering team to measure the specific vehicle more than 1000 times in detail. With 1800+ drawing updates, BONOSS provides the most precise 1.5-inch spacers. Here are several key advantages that make BONOSS spacers a top choice.
1. Active Cooling, More Beneficial
Better than other tire spacers, BONOSS forged active cooling Tacoma 1.5-inch wheel spacers come with active cooling grooves which allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the wheel spacer when it rotates.
In this case, BONOSS forged active cooling Tacoma wheel spacers send air into the rotors. The air takes away the heat, actively dissipating heat for the braking system. These BONOSS wheel spacers are helpful to reduce brake thermal decay and improve road safety.
2. Top-quality Aluminum, Stronger
BONOSS forged active cooling Tacoma wheel spacers 1.5-inch are made of forged 6061-T6/ 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. After BONOSS’s unique super forging process, these aluminum wheel spacers provide stronger impact resistance, less fatigue strength, and better corrosion resistance. The ultimate tensile strength of these two aluminum alloys is:
- Forged 6061-T6 spacers: 42000-45000 psi (300-310 MPa);
- Forged 7075-T6 spacers: 74000-78000 psi (510-572 MPa).
3. ISO Grade 12.9 Wheel Studs, Safer
BONOSS forged active cooling Tacoma 1.5-inch wheel spacers come with ISO 12.9 wheel studs (tensile strength≥1220 MPa) and ISO grade 10 wheel nuts (proof load≥1,100 MPa). This hardware is meticulously coated with Dacromet. Such BONOSS forged wheel studs and lug nuts give neutral salt spray resistances exceeding 500 hours.
Frequently Asked FAQ
Q: Are Tacoma wheel spacers 1.5-inch safe?
A: As long as you use a high-quality set and install them properly, it is safe to use Tacoma 1.5-inch wheel spacers. It is vital to use hub-centric spacers.
Q: Can you put wheel spacers on a trailer?
A: Yes, you can put wheel spacers on a trailer. Many people have been running 1.5-inch wheel spacers for several years towing a trailer and they never had the slightest problem.
Q: How many wheel spacers can I use?
A: If you use 1.5-inch spacers to clear big brake calipers, 2 pcs spacers are OK. But if you want to achieve a better wheel style, installing wheel spacers on all 4 tires will be a good idea.
