    If you haul or have weight back there a lot, all-pro expos. They're built to give 3" lift if you have 400 additional pounds back there. 4" lift if your bed is empty. So they'll give you the height and carrying capacity

    Stuck between what to do!! Right now I am running 33 12.50 20 Atturo Blade MT, and 20x12 rims with 4" Maxtrac spindles and 2.5" bilstien shocks. I currently rub starting at almost full turn, and I am wanting to go up to a 35" tire to fill out more of my wheel well. I am stuck between a 295/65/20 nitto trail grappler or a 35/12.5/20 i know this will case me to rub more without cutting the cab mount or fenders (already have a little).

    So I have the idea of purchasing the 2.5" Eibach lift coils to run with the maxtracs and bilstiens which I would run at .85" of lift(after Christmas)
    Does anyone have any tips on what this would potentially do to the front end/ ideas on the tire size.


    I have included a picture of my current setup and look forward to replies!

    It's the width and offset of the wheels/tires. You're gonna have to cut the cab mount and the inner fenders a bit, the only way you'll avoid rubbing by adding height is if you go like 8"+ and are high enough to clear to majority of the tire.

    I'm at 3.5" lift right now because I haven't put my spindles on yet and I have 35's and barely rub at full lock with a very minimal cab mount chop.

    I see you have the custom front bumper though as well, i have been planning on doing the cab chop anyways, but with running 33s and 20x12s i still rub the mount a little now. what size would you say to go with? the 295s or something different?

    I have 315's right now, but on 16's. If I were you, I'd go 35 12.50 or a comparable size in metric, so like a 315/something. Maybe 55? Get the tires on, drive home carefully, and then once back, full lock it both directions so that it rubs enough to leave a mark, and cut about a 1/4" farther than the farthest mark. Any rubbing in front of the wheel should just be fender liner and can be cut out with scissors or a razor blade.

    If you go with a 295 you'll have to stretch the tire and everyone will hate you. At least everyone on tacomaworld. Also with the offset of the wheels and the fact they are 12" wide, going narrower at the tire won't really help that much. Go with the 35x12.50 and get a grinder with a cutoff wheel

    His wheels are a -44 offset and since his wheel is 12" wide that would put his backspacing at 4.77. He just need a wheel that is a lil narrower like a 20 x 9 -12 ( 4.5bs) or a 20 x 10 -24 (4.5bs)

    Spindles got here yesterday, fox 2.0 remote resi coilovers got to fox yesterday so they'll be back to me in about a week and a half, camburg uppers are getting new ball joints this weekend, and I'm picking up inner and outer tie rods when the coilovers get back. Front end is going to be riding like a cloud.

    Also: shout out to @HeadStrong Off-Road for the spindles!
