    2 INCH RANCHO QUICK LIFT 1 INCH LEVELING KIT ADDED LEAF SPRING 1.5 WHEEL SPACER
    I have a 2002 Tacoma with Rancho quick lift, 1.5 wheel spacers. I'm running 285/75/16R bf mud terrains now , no problems. I recently purchased 33/11.50/16 s.s thornbirds, got them mounted and balanced and the lugs on the thornbirds are hitting not allowing for them to spin. What options do I have to make these tires work. If I buy off set rims will the lugs clear? what is a good rim?

    You may consider more lift if you are set on this size of Thornbirds, but I am curious what you are rubbing on. Frame I assume? I hesitate to recommend more wheel spacing, this is always a bad cure for tire-rub. I was never partial to the Thornbirds. Not a big "four wheeler", but I always had bad luck with my Tbirds in the snow and mud, but you may really like them on your Tacoma, I hope so!
