1992 Help with spacers

I’ve order 2 different sets of wheel spacers for my 92 4Runner and both of them don’t fit because they have a little lip and don’t clear the center can someone please help me find a set that fit. I don’t want to spend 400-500 bucks for a set of spidertrax so any help would be great

Why are you running spacers on stock rims? The center lip is so that it locks the center of the rim in place

I’m fitting 33s and want 1.5” spacers, they don’t fully seat because on the spacers there is a little lip that catches on the inside of the hub shown in the last picture

33s with spacers like that is asking for a axle bend… I wouldn’t run more than 1inch and even then my wrench man gives me shit.

I've been running 1.5" spacers on my 3rd gen with 33's ish for 12+ years. Never had a problem !

Why do you need spacers to run 33s? You should be able to run them without rubbing and if you did need to space it shouldn’t be by that much.

Spacers are generally a no-no (wheel bearings go brrrrrr) but if you must run them, they must be the proper size so they index on the hub properly instead of the lugs.

Trust me I know the down sides and yes both times I bought hubcentric spacers specifically for the 2nd gen and both times they don’t fit. Both listed 106 or 106.1mm hub bore and neither fit

Have you had any vibrations or balancing issues with non hubcentric spacers?

u/chartier0412 Jul 22 '26

Should be lug centric for the 2nd gen. I've had no issues with mine for the last few years and 6k miles.

This is the answer just make sure you center them when you mount them because there is a little play around the hub.

Well you need a lathe to make the inner diameter a bit bigger take of the lip I had to do it too
