3 inch lift with 28s or 31s

Hey guys this is my first post to the forum and have had this question on my mind for a while. I just recently bought an 07 Tacoma extended cab with the TRD off road package. I want to put a 3 inch Rough Country lift with either 28s on 16s or 31s on 17s. I'm pretty sure the rear axle has 4.10s, but I am not sure if that's correct and I do not to put too much stress on the axle with that big of tires because I do not want to rear gear the axles. So I was wondering if any of you guys have any pictures or suggestions. Thanks.

 

28s? Stock tires are 30.5s, I'd go with 285s with 3 inches.

 

yeah 28" tires are rather small. Maybe 28's would come stock on a 5 lug but pre runners and 4 wheel drive tacomas typically come stock with 31" tires (265/70/16, actually 30.5"). If your getting a 3" lift then 31" tires look a tad small. If you dont want to go to big then get 265/75/16 (31.5") and they will fill out the wheel well a little better.

After 3" lift, most people go with 285/75/16 or 33" tires. You can get a lighter load range so that the tires arent so heavy and wont affect your gas mileage or power. I have 33's on 4.10 gears and cant feel to much of a difference, but my gas mileage did drop about 1.5 gallons after getting load range C KM2's which weigh about 50lbs each

 

Thanks guys for the help. Looks like I will get 285/75/16 tires.
