what tire size will fit 3" lift with no trimming?

I'm new to the whole customization thing with my tacoma. I have a 2013 and plan to put a 3" lift on it. I'm just a little confused about what size tire. I've seen a few posts where they're saying 285/75/16 will fit with no trimming, others say that they had to trim. I'm running 16" aftermarket rims and thinking of ko2 tires. Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

285's will rub; however, if you take off the mud flaps and the little flap on the front you'll be close. It's pretty easy to trim the inner fender with a dremel. I still haven't done the cab mount chop, but I need too. Only rubs when turning over a bump and with my fat boy coworkers in the truck.

 

I second that, 285s are the way to go

 

I have 285s with mud flaps removed, 1.25" spacers and no rubbing. Depending on what kind of aftermarket wheels you have depends on whether you'll need spacers to prevent rubbing the UCAs.

 

yep, -12offset with 4.5 backspacing works good with no spacers

 

Thanks again for the info, I'm going 285 for sure.

 

You might have to do a CMC..just be aware of that

 

I went with 285/65/18 with -12offset and 4.5 backspacing and CMC was not needed

 

flex your truck n get back to me.

OP, anything bigger than a 265/75R16 if you flex your truck will rub in some form..... if you plan on going to 285/75R16 plan on, inner fender removal / trimming, pinch weld flattening, and cab mount chop.

 

^This. Drew must not get on the trail often..I've done all that (inner fender trimming and some removal, flattening pinch weld and a CMC) to fit 285/75/16s with a 3" lift

 

lift amount doesnt matter with tire size... if you cycle the suspension (ie FLEX THE TRUCK) it will rub on a 285/75R16

 

255/85/16 might work for you. It's been great for me with 2.5" lift. The key is to use wheels with stock dimensions.

Edit: Just noticed you have a sport. 255/80/17...

 

yeah, you're right

 

you're right, but his is a prerunner anyways

 

oooo thems be fighting words.... watch out saying that prerunners dont get out on the trails!

 

no no, hahaha i didn't mean it like that, mine is a pre runner too sadly

 

Im running 285/70/16 with 2.5 lift, no trimming at all just had to remove the littler mud flap in front

 

Here we have a 3" OME lift with 285/75R16 tires. I'm doing some very minor flexing on a small hill. No CMC. If someone plans on serious off-roading, keep these pictures in mind. That size tire barely fits

 

What lift do you have? A spacer lift, by limiting up travel, will let you avoid alot of cutting. That benefit brings a ton of issues though.

 

I did 33x12.50s with my 3" lift... no rub
