hey, has anyone put wheel spacers on their rodeo? if so what size? i have stock 16" rims and the tires have a lot of life left so i don''t what to but new wheels. also, when i do get new tires, what is the largest size tire that can fit on a stock 98 rodeo? thanks, pat.

 

Toyota Tacoma wheel spacers work. Same bolt pattern and hub diameter. I wouldnt go more then 1.5"

''98+ rodeos have the smallest wheel openings of any isuzu. With stock wheel back spacing and no spacers you MIGHT be able to fit 31" tires. With spacers or aftermarket wheels 30" tires might rub. I had 30''s on my stock rims before I upgraded and they were fairly close. I now have aftermarket wheels with 3.75" back space and 32" tires and had to trim the fenders to fit them even with a 3" lift. I also had to lower the rear bumpstops 2" to keep the rears from rubbing.

The tires and rims..




The trimming...

 

Thanks for the reply! your ride looks nice. my rodeo has been my junk car for the past 5 years, but now that i have a daughter i have to clean it up and fix it a little. have you done any engine mods? i''d like to get a little more pick-up out of it if i can. that is without spending a bunch of money on a turbo or supercharger. by the way, your ride looks really nice!

 

Thanks!

No engine mods. Just a K&N filter (air box to be modded eventually), and a flowmaster muffler with 2.25" pipe from the y-pipe back.
