help with 285's

https://vermont.craigslist.org/wto/6089203205.html

I am considering buying new wheels for my tacoma, right now it is a 100% stock 2005 trd offload. I am considering the set up linked above. I know I will need about a 2.5 lift in the front to fit them, is there anything else I would need? I am also wondering if anyone else has a wheel with similar offset and tire size and could post pics

 

Use the search feature.... there is tons of info already out there already

 

This is like the tenth thread today on this.

 

Trim or no trim?

 

You don't own it til you cut it up

 

I will trim, but would like to keep it minimal

 

For 285s, I had to remove the mudglaps, trim where they mount, do a CMC, cut into the wheel well plastics, beat the pinch weld to hell and I still rub wheelin'

 

Geek...did u have a lift on it...? I'm looking to put 285/70/16 on my Tacoma I have a 3" lift, just don't wanna be cutting...using spacers....etc....I don't mind doing a little trimming I guess....What is CMC

Thanks For Any Info

 

Google search engine...
Type tacomaworld.com 3" lift 285
Or tacomaworld.com cmc
Or tacomaworld.com anything you wanna know

 

All that is with a 3" lift.

No cutting? Stick to 265's

CMC = cab mount chop

 

You'll need a cab mount chop, to hammer in or grind down the pinch weld, and some good old fashioned trimming. You should get some AAL in the back too and I would say make that front lift 3 inches. Don't cheap out and use blocks because you can mess bearings and joints up, use coilovers. Anything from Icon, Fox, or King will all be good. You'll also need wheels with 4.5" backspacing to fit everything and not rub your uca. Spacers may be tempting but don't get them, they put too much stress on the lugs and the spacing isn't quite right. If you go that route however get spidertraxx because they're hub centric and take stress off of the lugs from the tire. Bolt pattern is 6x5.5 (same as 6x139.7) and make sure your rims are 16x8. Good luck

 

I'm running 4.5 bs and i rub on my uca's at full lock.....275/70/18.

 

It's 4.5 bs on a 16x8 rim

 

Just putting my experience out there......

 

Mine went in for new lift ,wheels and tires . Hoping for no rub . 2 1/2" lift bilstein 6112s Total Chaos UCAs . 285/70 on 17x8 American Racing Baja wheels , zero offset . Which is 4.5 BS
