Wheel Spacer for stock 03 gx470
Hello All - I've been reading various primers on forums about wheel spacers by searching the interwebs/forums - CL, Ih8mud etc.... The reasoning for me to get this is the obvious - push the stock wheels out make it look more aggressive. Don't plan on going off-roading any time soon even though it's on my mind.
There is talk about ride quality being compromised - however, that seems to be on sedans and RX models. The cost of me getting bigger wheels and tires versus just getting 4 sets of quality spacers seems to be the kicker.
So - who has tried spacers with stock wheels and has seen no issues with their existing suspension and ride?
The top companies on the list for me are below - if you've suggestions let me know as well.

Thanx again for the help

Hey Chtorres. I was running 1.5" G2 spacers on 20x9 +18 rims with 33x12.5" tires. Not exactly stock, but they were much heavier than stock and wider. I did not have any issue of complaints with how my GX handled or turned. I was also running 2.5" top mount leveling spacers. If you are interested, I have both the lift and wheel spacers sitting in the garage looking for a new home.
Also, if you have a Facebook account, consider joining GX Off-Road. There is a bunch of knowledgeable peeps there would be glad to help answer questions such as this.

Above are some pics of my GX with the spacers.

Sno - thanx for replying. I infact joined the facebook group as of yesterday. Truck looks sick with that front end, not ready for that as of yet. Are you upgrading to another set of spacers/lift kit, since you don't have them on your truck now?
