Tire sizing for 3" lift new member

Hello everyone,
This is my first post, so a little bit about myself. I live in Janesville Wisconsin, have a 2008 Tacoma I like to play with. GO PACKERS, like to play on John Deere's.
So many questions but I will start with the one that is being worked on as we speak. I have a 2008 Tacoma lifted three inches and bought 2015 stock 17" rims to put back on with Nitto G2 going on them. Now what would be the right size? 285 or 295 I don't want any rubbing in the front at all. I am thinking 285/70-R17 ? Now what do I do for the speedometer? I was told that the Bully Dog programmers don't work. Thank for you time.

 

285s will rub your UCA's with stock 17 wheels. You will need spacers with that combo. Welcome

 

For the longest time the biggest tire you could run on stock rims with no spacers was 255/80/17. Now that 34x10.5x17 is available that may have changed. I can't guarantee that though. They are the same width as some stock tacomas so I would think that would work. Someone else will have to chime in on that though. Also, EITHER of these two sizes will most likely require some trimming at the minimum.

 

Most run a 285 on stock rims with the addition of a 1.25" spacer.

 

Where's a good place to buy the spacer I need for a good price?

Or you could check on TW's marketplace for some.

 

I looked on eBay but has anyone ever used anything they sell off there?
