round about $160 - $180 each here but are far cheaper in the states.
Range from 1 inch to 3 inch.

does your tyre rub on the chassie now ?????, just work out when the truck is flexed up how much clearance you will need, all of this will probley change when you put youe 35s on.
im not a big fan of wheel spacers id rather buy the right rims for $80-$100 buck each just a thought

Or here in Australia at a realistic price-

Lockedup4x4 = $119.43 + Shipping for 2 spacers. Using matching Toyota 12.5mm Wheel Studs.
Snake racing = $165 + Shipping for one spacer. Using 1/2" Wheel studs that will require you to buy new wheel nuts if your toyota wheel nuts if your wheels do not use standard wheel nuts.

The problem with buying wheels is some end up needing 2 sets of wheels so they can still drive the vehicle on the street. Comp only car buy the right wheels. If you are street driving it as well and can not do so with the wheels sticking out the guards then wheel spacers are a great idea. And much easier to transport to the trails than another set of wheels.

Everyone has there own ideas. I ran 2" spacers front and rear with 38" TSL SXs and the tires didn't hit the front leaf springs or the chassis above the rear tire. Now I'm running 39" BFGs with the same 2" spacers and the tire touches the front lower link rod at full lock. It doesnt rub bad enough for me to worry about. Plus I don't want to put 3" spacers on my heavy 4runner.
I don't think you would need anything bigger than 1.5" with your size tires.
