285s with a 3" lift

I am planning on installing a 3 inch lift and I want to run 285/70r17 Nittos with a 17x9 wheel that also has a -12 offset. Are any of you guys running a similar set up? I mainly want to know how much trimming I am going to have to do if any.

 

There are tons of threads on this, but you should have a CMC done. You'll probably have to trim some plastic too.

 

Welcome aboard!

 

Welcome. Re search. 285’s re gear etc. mpg’s and so forth. Costs to floss. IMO I’m going up 1 size tire.
Good luck

 

I just put 285/75/17 and honestly not sure why people say you need to regear. It drives identical to the 265/75/16 e load tires i had.... I had to do a cmc and plastic trimming. Still rubs in reverse a bit full lock

 

Read the threads that TW members discuss weight etc. bumper weight , slides etc. If it’s all for looks then go for it. Just my thoughts. To each there own enjoy

 

I have no added weight except larger tires and theres no reason to regear...

 

im running 285/65r18 nitto ridge grapplers on a 2.5" level with no rubbing and no trimming. wheels are 18x9-12/ 4.5 BS

 

Did you install new UCAs also?

 

I'm running the exact same set up. You may not need to cut IF you're just a mall crawler and you're running a 3" lift. It will rub under compression. I am only running about a ~2.25" lift. I flattened the pinch welds, cut part of the plastic trim and did a minor cut on the cab mount. I also tossed the stock mud flaps and custom mounted rekgen mudflaps. I will be doing a big CMC in the future.

 

Look Awesome !!!

 

I am running black rhino glamis unknown off set 285 70 17 zero rub, no chop, no trimming. Plenty of room. Nittos too.

 

That front bumper makes the tires look bigger and badass.

 

2.125 lift. 285/70/17s
(No different than 3 for clearance). Will do CMC this spring to solve off-road while turning and dipping rub. Rest was melt away wheel well stuff. For pavement no issues as I have a good set of UCAs and fabulous shocks.

 

Nope!!! Don't believe the fake news.

 

Tacomaworld “Rubbing in a nutshell”:

-TW Member type A:

“I’ve got 265/70/17 and it rubs all over the place. Anyone who says this size wouldn’t rub is a jackass. Added 4” of lift and still rubs”

-TW Member type B:

“just fit 315/75/17. No rubbing whatsoever, even full stuff / full lock / in reverse. Stock SR suspension.”

 

Yessir, can't wait to put 35s on here.

 

Like @Gamebreaker81 said, no regear is needed but you will need to CMC and trim if you off-road, no doubt about that.

 

A little off topic but could you post a couple up close pictures of your mudflaps? I was thinking about getting some or even making some with kydex but it looked like there was a mounting point that disappeared with a cmc.

 

I'll try to get a shot tomorrow.
