Stock wheel with 285's...Backspace problem?

3" rev on an 01 tacoma. Short on cash. Will a 285/75/16 have trouble with my stock 16x7's? I am not worried about tire rub on the frame or on the fenders. I am worried about the wheel itself making any contact with any of the components inside. Any info is appreciated, thanks, rob

 

Hey there man, I just got the 3" RevTek lift and Put a set of 285/75/r16's on, with the stock wheels, and they fit, no problem. I got about a 1/2" or 5/8" in the back, between the tire and control arm. I havent had any rubbing, just on the Frame when i turn at full compression. It should be fine!

 

The wheels will be fine, the tires will be the problem.

 

what kind of mileage are you getting now with that set up... I am afraid to go with the lift and tires for fear that my mileage will drop like a rock

 

just regear if your worried about mileage with your tires

 

i have 1.25 wheel spacers and pinch weld mod no probs since

 

it really not a big diff

 

regearing is really not a big difference?....Your crazy, Its a world of difference. If thats what your talking about

 

i am talking about the milage

 

Yeah, the mileage didnt change a hole lot, and im ganna put exhaust on, to kinda help with that a little. I wouldnt worry about your mileage dropping gerastically. But instead of everything working out ok, and having no issues.

 

I was ganna do wheel spacers, But i was worried about problems and rubbing on fender or mud flaps. Did you have to do any trimming. Bc I really didnt want to have to do that.

 

very little http://customtacos.com/tech/index.php?article=9
but without the spacers i was rubbing the uc arm

 

oh, well im not, and i got the same set up, except my tires are different, wierd! I dont got much room back there, but im not rubbing on my uc arm.

 

when you hit a bump you will or when you jack up your truck and the tire wont turn you will see

 

Hey, EverTaco, do the pictures in your gallery include all your mods? I'm getting 33x10.5x15 BFG A/T KO's and 15" black steelies in a couple weeks.

 

Im ganna have to check it out. Yeah, those pics have all my mods. I thought about doen blackies, i think it would look good. Hey, do you guys know if I get wheels with a deeper off set, would i have issues with rubbing on my fender or mudflaps?

 

I think the stock wheels are a 5.5" backspace and 7" wide. The steels I'm gonna get are a 4" backspace and a 8" wide wheel, but I'm going with a slightly narrower tire. It all depends on the combination.

 

Yeah, I just took a look at my tires, and they do rub on the uc arm when i go over bumps. I think I might just get wheels and do some triming if need be, cause i really like my tires. lol... Im sooo tired of these issues!

 

all you need is wheel spacers

 

yeah, I know. But seeings how im ganna get wheels anyways, I dont want to spend the money on spacers when im just ganna be taking them off. you know...
