ok so here's my story. I'm trying to put on jeep rims with 33's and I got the rims with the smaller hub hole so I got 2" spacers for it. I put them on to make sure they fit and they do, then I took them off because I dont have a lift yet. then I put my stock tires back on and I left the spacers on. it looks kinda weird with the stock tires haha but now I have a wobble I didnt have before. I'm going to take the spacers off in the morning and hope the wobble goes away which narrows my problems to the spacers. I already took off the tires and put them back on again to make sure they're on right so that's not the issue so I'm guessing it's 1 of 3 things, 1. I only have the spacers on the front but I wouldn't think it would effect it at all, 2. the spacers are off a tacoma so it might be something with the hub hole may be a slightly different size, 3. they're machined wrong and not straight.

I'm probably gonna have to sell them but I would just like to learn why I'm wobbling in case it happens again, thanks

I put a lift kit on a 2010 2wd Taco last week at work and was shocked to see it was 5 lug, dunno when they started that or if it's been that was a while now, but I kinda scratched my head for a minute about it... dunno if it was a 4.5" pattern or not, but it was for sure 5 lug.

a friend of mine has a 96 tacoma and I said the same thing when he said his is 5 lug with the same bolt pattern but it is true there are some tacoma's put there with the same pattern. do you guys think the fact it's from a tacoma the the center hole might be slightly bigger to cause the wobble

Ahh I forgot about the 2wd. I know the old toyota mini truck 2wd's were 5 stud, but I thought they were 5 x 5.5.

well I took off the spacers and no more wobble so I'm gonna sell them and get 1"-1.5" spacers and hopefully it was because they're from a tacoma they wobbled
