Nice looking ride.

I take it those are the stock wheels? If so, are they 16"?

As soon as my factory 16's wear out, I too will be switching to 32x11.5x15's on my '03 Tacoma 2wd prerunner.

It seems that on any given wheel selection, everyone has questions on the amount of backspacing to use. My manual does not specify the amount of BS I have, so what is the stock amount?

Also, what are the 16" factory wheel widths?

Thanks for the help.

gota question for you guys with balljoint spacers. did you have to get special shocks that travel more, or do the stock ones work with the spacers?

I don't think you have to get longer shocks, but you won't be getting the maximum benefit of the spacers either. I think Flygtenstein came up with the optimum length for the front and is using a Rancho 5167 (listed for Samurai at rancho's site). That is what I'm using also with no issues. If you don't like Rancho the shock is listed at 10.25" compressed and 15.25" extended. You can use those numbers for comparison sake if looking at other brands. Good luck.

I've got the BJ spacers and just purchased 32x11.50s on 15x7s. Haven't mounted em yet but from all the research I've been do they shouldn't be a problem. If they do you'll probably have to trim the corners of the valence and hammer the pinch welds. I'm planning on removing the valence alltogether. The spacers rock BTW. Easy install, damn solid.

I've got 32x11.5's with just OME shocks all around and coils in the rear (no front lift). The fit great, work great, and look great.

i just finished installing ball joint spacers and i've got 32x11.5 BFG ATs but i've also had the 32's on for a while before installing the spacers and they still were fine with minimal rubbing when locking out tires.

In the next month i will purchase 32x11.5 on R15.

What is your question about 32x11.5 R15 and BJ Spacers?

Is it the clearance on the a-arm?

Thanks for the reply Hill.

I'm wondering about clearance on the a-arm.
I've got the spacers and thought I'd wait until I got new wheels but that might be awhile. Since I've got the cruiser coils in now, I want to put in the spacers if they fit. Just wanting to make sure, and save any unnecessary cutting.

Hill-Thanks, that will be awesome. I'm getting new shocks this week and thought I'd try to throw on the spacers and get everything aligned while I'm at it.....if they look like they'll clear that is. Thanks again.

Anybody else know if 32x11.50s on sr5 rim will work with bj spacers?
