    snake racing australian made logo Snake Racing's 2-inch Wide-Track Wheel Spacers are designed to increase the rear wheel track of your V8 LandCruiser to improve vehicle stability and minimise trailer sway for safer towing.

    Why does the 79 Series LandCruiser have a narrow rear track?

    Due to cost and engineering challenges, Toyota made a decision in 2007 to widen only the front track of the 79 Series to accommodate their new 4.5-liter turbo-diesel V8 engine. This decision resulted in the V8 79 Series Toyota LandCruiser having a 4-inch difference between the front and rear tracks, which raised concerns among off-road enthusiasts about the narrow rear track affecting stability.

    How do track correction kits help?

    Wheel spacers that correct the rear track of the 79 Series LandCruiser help by increasing the vehicle's stability and improving its off-road performance. By moving the wheels away from the chassis, wheel spacers enhance the vehicle's wheel track, which can aid in better articulation and provide a more stable ride, especially in off-road conditions. This is particularly beneficial for addressing issues such as fish-tailing in sand, which can occur due to the narrower rear track of the LandCruiser 79 Series.

    Do I need 1.5-inch or 2-inch?

    The 2-inch Wide-Track Kit is recommended for cab chassis models, as trays generally provide enough width for tyre coverage. The 1.5-inch is recommended for wagons and troop carriers when the tyre is not covered by the factory bodywork. Wheel flares can provide enough coverage so a 2-inch Wide-Track Kit can be fitted.

    What are Snake Racing spacers made from?

    Snake Racing's 2-inch wheel spacers are CNC machined from high-quality Australian-sourced billet steel, zinc-plated to prevent corrosion, and each fitted with 5 metric studs and nuts compatible with genuine Toyota steel or alloy rims. All Snake Racing Wide-Track wheel spacers are manufactured from "STEEL"; as the tensile strength is far stronger and better suited for the dry weight and those that run heavier trucks.

    Component List

    • 2 x 2" billet STEEL wheel spacers
    • 10 x wheel studs
    • 10 x wheel spacer nuts
    • The 2-inch Wide-Track Kit is made from steel and comes complete with 2 x spacers and all fitting hardware for the rear of one V8 LandCruiser.

    Special Instructions

    • IMPORTANT! - Always use a torque wrench when tightening wheel and spacer nuts, never use a rattle gun for the installation of wheel packages, wheels or wheel spacer kits.
    • If you have steel wheels please select Rim Type > WorkMate when ordering.
    • If using aftermarket wheels (non-genuine Toyota) you will need to ensure the correct "wheel" nuts and torque settings are used with the Wide-Track wheel spacer kit.

    Warning

    • WARNING! - Cheap alloy spacers in the marketplace are not suitable for heavy vehicles, especially when manufactured from cheap alloy.
