So I have a little bit of rub with the tries I'm running 295/55/20. I was thinking of getting hub-centric wheel spacers. Good or bad idea? Any recommendations, Or feedback?

I have used non hub centric and it was the biggest mistake I have ever done. I love the look and have never tried hub centric type. The ones I had wobbled like crazy around 50-60 mph

Cool thanks for the feedback. If I got them I would get hub centric for sure.
 
I have had my wheel spacers for over 6 months with no issues. Just make sure to properly torque and re check after 500 miles or so. I also I like to check after every tire rotations.

Do you have any before and after pictures?
 
I’ve had hub centric 1 1/4 Spidertrax for 3 yrs with no problems. Use the red thread locker when installing them and retorque them every once in awhile and you will have no problems. I recently switched to 2 inch BORA hub centric spaces. Same procedures apply.

I've heard if I want to get spacers make sure I get hub centric. Why did you get spacer? Was it for aesthetics or because you had wheel rub?

Your truck looks good man. I want mine spacers for clearance. Do you ever take your truck off roading?

If you do decide to use spacers, do yourself and your truck a favor and get quality ones like Spidertrax or BORA and just make sure you torque them down with red thread locker and do a retorque at every tire rotation. If you do it this way, you won’t have any problems.

Yeah I'm been thinking I may go with a small wheel size so I wont have any rub. Instead of spacers.
 
I’ve had hub centric spacers on my car and it was a big mistake the stock Tacoma wheel studs are pretty short so if you have after market wheels the lug nut for the spacer will only thread on about three turns, which is not safe at all.
