    my build tread: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/socal-no-shame-poser-build.513084/
    1) I want the tires off set more would y’all suggest a lift?

    Up to you. If you want bigger tores than 265/70 you need to lift.

    2) And should I do spacers?

    Spacers generally not recommended. Most will say go bilsteins for a lift if trying to do it cost effective.

    3)And what wheels to go with?

    Plenty of options here but 16 or 17” are standard sizes. Tons of info on here on different brand wheels

    4)And wanting to change all lights to hids or leds do they make bulb replacements or do I have to replace the entire headlights?

    Headlights are h11 and both hid and led are direct plug and play replacements.

    5)And wanting smoked tail lights any recommendations?

    Search “smoked tailights” in forum for plenty if brands and ideas

    bunch of stuff - Bro Pro style
    Dont forget the smoked headlights after market from Unique Style Racing.. Pro replicas couldn't tell the dif side by side to OEM and the Bro Pro grill.

    For wheels negative offset (-6 on an 8.5" wide wheel will put the tire a tad past the fender flairs = not too much bro) will push the wheels out a little bit giving you a more aggressive look and wider stance.

    Welcome to the forum. Check out @mesojdm's build page, he got the Black Rhino wheels in tan and they look great on quicksand.

    Does it ride like shit? I want to do it right to get 285 on it to get that wider stance and I live in the country and it’s my daily driver so I don’t want it to ride like shit on dirt road or high way

    Then get coils and you’ll be fine. They are not an expensive addin for better ride. You will have to do a cmc for 285s

    Depending on your budget, you can spend thousands or hundreds

    Really man, just look through the past forum posts and you’ll see plenty of different options.

    People would be more inclined to help if it appeared you were willing to at least put forth a little effort
