Lifted '16 Tacomas

I've seen 285, 295, and 305 tires on the same size stock wheel. Tire manufacturers have recommended rim widths for each tire. Some of my customers including myself have gone narrower or wider depending on what we were trying to do to fit in a particular set up on a car or truck . Going outside of any manufacturers recommendations you risk damaging the tire and decreasing tread life . On my Lexus I have a 235 on a 10 inch wide wheel and still get about 15,000 miles on them as long as I don't ride with the airbags deflated .

 

Thanks. Think a 275 will be good to go

 

how are the spidertrax spacers? does it make it make the tire stick out? and are you having any rubbing?

 

Im trying to figure out why the spacers are even needed with this lift and tire size. Must be the stock wheel.

 

Well I have no rubbing issues what so ever. Since I run a factory rim I wanted something to push a little and give it a better stance.

 

Great looking truck. This is what I'm looking for because I want to keep stick wheels. Tires bulging or anything? People say 285 too big for 7 inch rim

 

I had 285/70/17 ko2s on my stock 17x8 rims. Did have to use wheel spacers though to keep from rubbing the UCA's. They do look good though I'll tell you that!

 

Thanks. Aside from the Treadwrights being hard to balance I haven't had any issues. Adding the wheel spacers gave me some bad body mount rub but that was an easy fix with a chop.

 

WOW your Tacoma turned out really nice. Has a really good looking stance to it too. Love the color. That and the quicksand are my favorites!!! Thank you for posting the pictures and for your business!!!

 

Looking good there Brandon!!

 

Why not 887's??

 

Because of the spring rate.

 

I was about to pull the trigger on 887 and dakers. Let me know what your thought was against it. I'm just learning all this crap

 

Well I'm running 888's right now with Dakars which is fine. But once I throw on a bumper and winch I'll need a higher spring rate to support the extra weight. You should go 888 and dakars instead of the 887's. The spring rate is the same, but you'll get a little more height with the 888's. I removed the overload leaf in the dakars and I still have some rake.

 

Ok yeah I was worried about it being too high in the front vs back. I hate that. So with the 888 and overload removed, it was still higher in the rear? If so, I may just leave the full pack because I sometimes tow and haul shingles for my company

 

887 is same Spring rate as 888, Spring right on 886 is higher capable of holding more weight which in turn will not sag as much

 

Bumpers and winches 886.

 

Here she is!

 

Does someone has experience with 33's without re-gearing?
Is it still fun to go off-roading?
I will really appreciate your opinions

 

I've got 285s with stock gears and to be honest it's not bad. I do mostly fast off-roading but have done some slow stuff and it's still good.
