Intro to fitting 35s (< 3" Lifts for those that wheel and love alignments)

Before and after

 

anyone running a 17x9 with a -6 offset? with there 315's or 35's?

 

I have that for 37s. On 35s you'll probably still rub frame at full lock. I needed -20 on a 7.5wide to not rub frame. I see others doing -25,-30 on wider wheels. You could use a 1.25 spacer and be almost spot on for not rubbing frame. Or leave it and not rub firewall as much.

 

when you say "rub frame at full lock" is that the front or the cab mount at the rear

and thanks for the link looks like it wouldn't be too bad another good one from someone hear on Tacoma World

 

This shows it might work.

 

Man you don't rub with just a -6 and a 12.5 wide tire? I've got -12 and am just a finger widths away from my UCAs.

 

Noob question..do members run wheel spacers with 35s? Or is that big no-no? Thanks.

 

A lot depends on your suspension set up and wheel choice. I have to to clear my rear shocks so I run them up front to have the truck the same width all the way around.

 

Good to know. Long story short I’ll be getting a regear in a few weeks and I’ll be upgrading to 35s. I’m currently running ray 10s with a -38 offset.

FYI I’m running 1.25 wheel spacers right now with 295/70/17

you have any pics of your truck?

 

Damn that is some stance!!!

 

Geez thats a lot, you could probably ditch the wheel spacers. Gonna rub a lot with that much poke i think.

 

Did the CMC, hammered the pinch weld and trimmed some plastic. A Little bit of rubbing at full lock. But you’re right, I can probably ditch the wheel spacers now. I had them when I was running 285s with less offset.

they’ll be gone once I upgrade to 35s. That’s why I was asking about wheel spacers and 35s

 

I had the same issue with with the 16x7’s. There doesn’t seem to be any steel wheels on the aftermarket that fit 3rd gens. I went with aluminum

 

i have some series 69's comming and some 315's waiting. should be next week all my questions will be answered.

yes you can run steel wheels but as far as i know vision soft 8 17x9 -12 offset is the one that fits and dose not interfere with the caliper. There is a 2-3 week wait for those rims in Toronto

 

If you are running a -38 wheel you probably shouldn't need any spacer.
I have a 1.5" wheel spacer and 17x9 -12 wheel

 

i ran 35’s with 1.25” wheel spacers. No problems. Also
-12 offset on scs BR6’s.

 

that looks like you could remove the spacer if you wanted... Looks killer btw

 

thanks for the picture. Truck looks bad ass

 

nice. Sick truck man!

 

Can't hits rear shock at full bump. That's the price to play when you run 14x2.5 King RRs in the rear with a Chevy 63 swap. Front easily clears but I hate the look of a narrower front or rear so it's gotta be square
