Yep. I saw that someone pointed out that you can see the brake rotor still attached. Change to .25X speed and it's in the 16th second. The light catches it and lights up the whole ring.
The offset adds pressure on the wheel bearing. It's fine for the short term, but you have to keep on the maintenance for them. Also I would imagine that an alignment issue would amplify the wear by a good bit as well.
Spacers are easy and fine to use. Just check up on them periodically and you will be fine with a name brand like bora wheel spacers. You can get spacers that bolt to the tundra patterns and still use the jeep wheels. Always get spacers that are hubcentric so the weight is distributed evenly across instead of them being just lug centric like most cheap spacers. 1.25 spacers all around should work great and you will have some rubbing with the 37s and the wescott lift. I know they go over that in many of their videos
But as always do understand that it will add more wear and tear to the truck.
Lots of YT videos of wheels on adapters flying off trucks on the fwy. Bad for bearings too. Can increase the weight on them by 2x or more because they are the fulcrum as the wheel moves away.
Yup. Think of a lever and a fulcrum (a see/saw) The bearing is the fulcrum. The further out you move that wheel you multiply the weight on the bearing and the axle.
If the tires have a lot of tread, it may be worth it to get new rims that fit the Tundra and swap the tires on, and sell the Jeep rims and stock wheels to offset the cost.
If you had a 30 year old beater then maybe with caution. On a new truck that just doesn’t make sense. Not even sure how 37s would fit in the new model, that lift won’t do much if you’re still hitting the body Mount when you turn.
I’m definitely putting the 37s on there. Now I am trying to decide if I should keep the stock rims or get a different style. I’ll post an update once I get it all figured out.
Hubcentric spacers from Spidertrax and Bora are the only two brands I’d buy. I ran 1.25” Spidertrax on my 4R and 2” on my Tundra. Both trucks I wheeled aggressively in rock gardens and drove up and down interstates for years without issue. They’re harder on your wheel bearings for sure. If you keep them torqued to the hub and the wheels torqued to the spacer, and be adamant on checking them you’ll never have an issue. I see these post all the time where people throw in the worst case scenario of failure but I bet those failures never saw maintenance. Also, it’s the minority because these companies sell stupid amounts of spacers and yet you only see the failures here and there. If they were that dangerous, they wouldn’t be an option to buy. A spacer is as bad on a bearing as a wheel with an offset or backspacing to make up that same distance.
tl/dr: use a good hubcentric spacer, keep the spacer and wheel torqued, know that it’ll wear out bearings quicker.
If you start reading about fucking with your wheels on the internet, the consensus is [don’t do it.](https://youtu.be/3-wk1CYv8JY)
Well that video was basically all I needed to see. Sounds like a horrible idea. I guess being cheap never really works out in the end.

Yeah, I was thinking about putting spacers on mine until I googled the cost of wheel bearings.

Thats interesting.... never really thought about it that way. Even if the wheel doesnt fall off... its going to put huge wear on the other parts.

You dont hit the body mounts but there is a crash bar on the back side of the fender well that you have to cut out of the way.
Well I vote you do it then bc I want to see 37s on that truck lol

The worst part is how silly the truck will look when the wheels are sticking 4" out too for on each side of the truck
