I just put new tires on my tundra and they're really tight up front. Anyone have spacers? Are they going to affect my mpg or front end?

Tight as in too wide? Or tight as in too tall? Or both?

To wide. They're fine on ford and ram. Somtbing diff about my Yota and it's about 1/4" from touching the arm.

I would rather have them 1/4" off the arm than put wheel spacers on.
I would never put spacers on a truck. If you really want to pull the tires out, get new wheels with a different offset

If you absolutely have to use spacers, use hub-centric ones. They have a groove milled out to put the stress on the hub (like is should), where as the "wedge" type (1/4"-1") spacers end up putting all the stress on your lugs, which is no bueno

I have spidertrax spacers on my vehicle(toyota).
Was worried about balancing the wheels and tires, but they had no trouble and i get no death wobble. Had a little wobble around 55-60 mph.
Just replaced bfg all terrains with some cheap ohtsu all terrains. They ride a million times better and no wobble at all.

I had spidertrax spacers on my jeep - I wouldn't hesitate to use them on my truck if I needed them, definitely not the cheapest but than again I wouldn't go cheap on spacers.
