    Fairly new to tacoma world and just bought my first 2nd gen taco about 2 months ago, i have billy 5100's set all the way up with a quarter inch spacer up top and an AAL in back with bilstein shocks...with that said im going for tires now, i found a set on CL i wanted, nearly new(around 1200 miles) BFG M/T km2 for a good deal, he told me originally they were 285 12.50 r16( for my sock size wheel)...my question is, will these fit? lol and if they will, will they still fit with and inch and a half wheel spacer or will that width change cause more contact with my LCA,UPA, etc... thanks for any help guys!:) soon as i get some tires ill post some pics of my rig!

    285/12.5/16 is not a valid tire size. Ask him to try again at the whole reading the tire thing.

    Yeah i forgot to put his reply, he said they were 285/75/ r16, and i didnt know how acurate that was or if he was just throwin a number out, and i knew you had said that tire size would fit with maybe a little trimming, or cab mount cut, thaanks for that quick relply btw!

    You would need wheel spacers for your stock wheels, and then the aforementioned trimming and possible cab mount chop
