    Sorry if this is a repeat of any other thread. Does anyone know if the TRD Sport 18" will work if you do a 3" lift? Im talking about the Chrome Clad wheels... I know I should probably just swap the plastic wheels out but wanted to see if they would support a lift.

    If anyone is running these wheels with a lift lemme know!

    Any help is appreciated!

    I have the same wheels and truck and have read,that with a 3" lift you can run the factory 18" wheels with a 1" wheel spacer and aftermarket upper control arms to keep from rubbing. The tire size I will be running is 275/70 r18. Anyone have any other input, still a newbie myself

    They will support a lift :confused:
    You can run a lift with any wheel with a bolt pattern that works. How functional and what size tire you have on them makes the difference. You could run a 275/70/18 on your wheels with a 3" lift.
