Gap between tires

I have to be honest man I dont normally go for white, it bores me.
That said, I love the white/black theme you have going on there and the stance is awesome and pretty popular around here.
I like it! No, I love it. Badass. Youve converted me!

Got a straight on and straight behind pic maybe?
Take any with the 42s on it?
Love to see that

 

Yeah I would expect to see 42s before and after pics posted first

 

Thanks, brother! I've been playing with that idea, but this is my daily drive and already feel the bad mpg and the lost of power (This could be fixed with a regear as you said) but maybe if I go with 33x12.50 or up to 34", the difference is not that noticeable.

 

Literally just finished the lift. About 3" front and rear running 265/70/17s. Was worried the tires would look small but they don't at all. Digging the gap on these trucks!

Before

After

 

Looks great! If you go for the 285s, you will gain in look, yes, but not without sacrificing the 20% of the power. My truck is my daily drive and I use it all the time, so, believe me when I say that she never was the same as stock. I live in the city and even a Nissan Versa can go faster than me. Also I have to be very cautious passing vehicles on the expressway because of the lack of acceleration. No too many people tell you this. They always say; "do it" but maybe they don't use their trucks everyday. So, keep it in mind! Whatever you do it's your own decision and you will be happy!

PS: How is the rack holding? I've been thinking in get one for my truck, but I am afraid of water leaking inside the cabin. Here in FL rains almost everyday!

 

Not that my opinion matters but I’m not into it. I prefer to sit as low as possible with big tires. Makes the trucks look way more beefy like that.

 

Yea I can't justify the loss of power and have no interest in re gearing. I'm happy with how the 265s look. The rack is awesome! My awning for it is on order. It's been dumping rain here last week and haven't seen a single drip. I hit all the bolt holes with silicone before bolting rack on and its been great. Its really heavy duty for the cost! Would definitely recommend.

 

Your opinion matters, Brother! That's why 35 is the perfect tires size!

 

It’s honestly whatever makes you happy. I’m just saying if it were me I would lower it and run 35’s

 

Agree. Unless you can add an after market power gain, Toyota’s are marginal performers as they are. It’s like saddling yourself with a new set of boots cause they look cool, all the while they are killing your feet.

 

I always shoot to fulfill a functional need 1st, and while in that process, take advantage of cosmetic opportunities.

That said, a prerunner in S Fla doesn't need jumbo lift or rubber for any function. Both lower your performance (as you've noted) for the sake of cosmetics.

But if that's a price you're willing to pay for a look you like, that's up to you.

I do like the wheels though. I'm so tired of the Knight Rider craze.

 

Lighter wheels and correct load tires would also help. I'm running 285/70/17 P rated Destination AT2 lightest 285 I can find at 42#. Add a set of FN or SCS wheels around 22# and you can have a lighter wheel and tire setup than stocks. I only offroad 4 times a year anyways so I have no use for C or E rated tires. Add a pedal command or sprint booster, it helps make it feel closer to stock on take offs. Add a URD MAF calibrator and GO. Damn all that will be a $2500 Bill

 

Blasphemy!
A prius did what???

Im sorry I can no longer participate in this thread until you read the license plate frame and apologize to my truck and all 2nd gens.

Turns to truck im leaning on- its ok buddy they didnt mean it lets go find a mustang or one of those fancy new mopars to run and whatever a versa is we'll eat one of those for dinner too.

 

$2500? FFFFFFFFF

 

I just like the look, man and also drive a taller vehicle between the crazy and dangerous traffic of Miami! My truck is work station, you know.... I never go offroad.

 

I went into this planning on supercharging it but after driving it for a week I decided it didnt need it.

Id still like to see your truck head on...
