FJ Cruisers of Northern California

Spidertrax around the bay area?

I installed new tires this weekend, and I can't squeeze my hand between the tire and UCA.

An alignment will probably help, but it is tight.

The closest I can find 2 pair are in Washington state, and I can't get them until Wednesday.

I tried 4WP with no luck. Any local suggestions (Sacramento to Monterey)?

checked craigslist and other sites without luck finding any spacers. Looks like Central 4WD in Sacramento has trail gear spacers but they do not look like they are hub centric. Is this for your alloys or the steelies?

Did you try checking with Shaffer that moved in with Bozly? Maybe he'd have some spacers around the shop.

Doh. Bought new ones this morning.
Definitely would have taken you up on it. I am still looking for a 5th, I had to take my rear wiper off just to mount the tire. Even after the carrier flip it is rubber on paint. Nice to get some breathing room.

I have one 1.5" non-hub centric wheel spacer but it has one missing stud and painted red (of course).

I took one stud out of it when I snapped one on my FJ while rotating tires.

Not really interested in the other stuff. I'd buy the spacers though. I can swing by today or tomorrow.
