Default Anyone running spacers with the TRD 18 wheel?
I'm picking up my XD tomorrow and was considering wheel spacers. How wide can I go without any kind of add on body work?

I see spacers in all sorts of thickness ranges.

alright if they are those said offsets then depending on tire sizing you can run like a 25 mill spacer... so i would reccommend getting in contact with penguin garage and getting some hub spacers in 15 mill and then maybe throwing another 5 or 10 mill spacer ont he lug side.. : ) wouldlook oh so sick

thats makes a +17 offset using 25mm spacers! that won't fit even my xB. 7" wide with 35 offset leaves maybe another 5mm from face to fender.

my 17x7's on the xD are about 5-7mm from flush. my xB1 with it's 17x8 +25 and 17x9 +20 flushes the front and 5mm( if that) poke on the back.

i always believe that the offsets will have a discrepancy based on the wheel design.

I'm running TRDs 18s (the actual specs: 18X7.5 +42) mated with Toyos 225/40/18 with NF210s. Would like a wider, flush stance without having to buy new rubber or wheels.

xD is still taking baby steps at just under 2500mi. So, I'm open to some technical recommends on how I might achieve this.

Thx.

You can pick up some wheel shims and achieve your goal.
