315/75/16 tires! Need help

I have a deal on some 315/75/16's I have a a 3 inch lift with front and rear fiberglass fenders. Will I have to cut to make these fit?? Please let me know thanks! Need to know before I buy

 

Yeah man I'm not a wheel guy just got my truck. If you can help then help with the question.

 

Mmmm ok I have 295's right now on 17's the Rubbing is not bad at all not even noticeable. You recommend me trying them on and drive around the block to see if it's even worth it ??

 

You will most definitely rub. Try them on but don't just drive around the block. Try to flex out your suspension see how badly you will rub. its a question of how badly and how much trimming.

 

You really wont find guys running that size tire on a Tacoma unless its long travel or solid axle front.

Or the dreaded 6 inch drop bracket hack jobs.

Not to mention unless re gearing you will lose a ton of power.

 

Yes they can fit, and yes it will require fairly extensive trimming, cutting, etc.

315/75/16 is effectively a 35" tire

 

Yeah the guy is probably playing with me so I can buy them he said he had them on his second gen with a 3 inch lift and didn't rub.

 

unless hes long travel or drop bracket lift I call bullshit without cutting and smashing a ton of metal out of the way.

 

I still have to trim even if I have after market fiberglass fenders in the front and the back right ??

 

Only the front.

 

Ok. That will take maybe a day to do so right ? If I take it to the right person for the job

Just depends on how much you have to trim. Could be an hour could be a day. Im not sure on 1st gens whether you need to cut much metal or just trim plastic.

 

fender liner has to go front and rear, pinch weld and possibly the cab mount area will need to be cut and re welded with a new flatter plate.

Unless they run spacers or wide wheels expect to rub on the frame and upper control arms as well.

 

Damn ok. I appreciate the help. It really helps me out. i want to get bigger tires but don't want to cut anything. What do you recommend. I just want my truck to have a mean look with bigger tires if you know what I mean.

 

255/85/16, essentially a skinny 33 inch tire.

 

I've got a friend with this size tire on his second gen, he has King coilovers, built right upper arms, fiberglass fenders, and the cab mount chop mod. They still rub.

 

You said you already have 295s? that's big enough IMO.

 

Just to let you know, 35s fit on second gens with just trimming of the body mount and fenders a little. If your trying to fit them on a first gen be prepared to tub the shit out of your fire wall…
