    Yeah but you have to use 04- wheels.

    https://www.intercotire.com/tires/t...oad/tire_aspect_ratio/34/tire_rim_diameter/16

    They have a 31.9x9.3 and 32.7x10 in a less aggressive TrXus m/t able to take 3k lbs a tire. Weighing 53lbs each.

    Or a 33.8x9 in the very aggressive Narrow SS TSL. Rated at 2k lbs a tire, 56lbs each

    Both Tires are suggested to use a 16x7 wheel. This makes the tire skinnier and taller also then a wider wheel in any circumstance.

    I have NEVER mounted any on a 8in wheel unless they are 12.5+.

    Did you powder coat or rattle can these? I have a MGM DCLB I just bought and I was looking at skinnies on steel! I am digging the color match vs. black and I am looking for options.

    I'm looking at this exact same tire and size for my TRD Sport. Now that you have a few weeks on them any further impressions on the tires, size, etc? Did you do the spare too? Have you had them off-road or anything? Was considering these or the ST Maxx, but the Maxx is much heavier and most of my miles are on pavement.

    lifted? looks like maybe stock shocks/suspension in the pic, but i cant tell- I'm wondering about stuffing those exact tires on my '17 sport stock suspension- but what i wonder is, do most guys lift with this tire size?

    They should fit your sport. I actually have an OR, but IMO the 32" tire is the perfect fit for a mild lift on a tacoma.

    I don't think that's an available size.

    I am lifted with an OME set up. It’s about 2.5-3” over stock height. I would say most folks lift with this size but they will fit on stock suspension. That has been tried and proven. You might have some rub with the Toyos but only because they are the largest in this size.

    Have checked a few times and there is no rub I can find in town. I forgot and filled up last week without noting the mileage so I have to run this tank down but just based on my gut feeling about that first tank and a half there hasnt been a significant mpg loss. Was on gravel and a farmer's field road once and they picked up some mud but cleared out on the highway the same as any other AT I've had. Overall I'm still really happy. I may still level the front but I like being able to put that off20180909_125404.jpg

    @Rd62 Just noticed I overlooked the spare question. I didnt so I cant speak to that fit. If I'm wrong someone can advise but I dont ever go anywhere I couldnt make it back from on 1 265/65 if I had to
