Question for those who don't rub

For third gen members or people who know people who run third gens that didn't do a cab body mount chop

What lift height to you run?
Are you stock suspension wise?
What tire size, offset and backspacing are you running?

Just don't want to do a chop of the body with the cmc mount.

 

The key is to keep the tire sucked inward, and not have a wide tire. Height plays less of a role when we're talking up to 33s. There are some threads dedicated to it, but 255/85r16 on stock wheels don't rub at all, and those are actually 33" tall. My recommendation is cooper st maxx

 

I see, the cooper st maxx is what mostly came up when I was doing a little bit of looking on tacoma world a few months ago, so I'll consider that

 

This is a great question...I’m picking up 285/70/17 tomorrow with 0 offset rims. I have a 2.5 inch lift with camburg UCA...hoping no CMC but prepared to if needed.

 

They're awesome tires. I've ran them in the 255 variant and they kicked ass in all terrain, on and off road.

 

sounds good, let me know how it goes, I think the pro rim is either +4 or +11 offset I forget. But you have a lift so that is another factor that I might have to save for the future if or when I lift

 

285/70r17 Goodyear ultraterrains wrapped around trd sport rims - icon stage 2 lift set about 2.75 up front with aal in the back. 1.25” spidertrax. Stock UCA’s. Toyota dealer did my alignment afterwards and I have zero rub even when wheelin. I think I’m one of the lucky ones.

 

Sounds like a relief that your dealer did you alignment for you, did they charge a lot ? Setup sounds good but I am trying to stay away from spacers. since your 2.75 up front with stock uca do you have to get realigned often?

 

i think it was like $60-$80. Haven’t had any issues and it’s been about a year since I lifted it.

 

285/70R17 Nitto Trail Grapplers on TRD Pro wheels (sorry don’t know offset). 2 inch Toytec lift, diff drop kit, SPC UCA’s. No CMC and no rubbing.

 

General atx's 265/70/17's on 17x9 wheels with -6 offset. Only rubs when turning wheels and hitting a bump at same time. No lift.

 

Oh... I miss read the title

 

I put 275/70/17 BFG K02's on TRD Pro wheels and had no rubbing at all prior to my lift, so basically those ran fine stock. My intentions were to put the lift on first but Bilstein back-ordered the 6112/5160 during Covid and I ended up putting the wheels and tires on first. I was pleasantly surprised when it didn't rub.

Finally got the lift on and set it to 2.50 inches up front and 1.5 in the back which leveled it perfectly.

Still no rub and I'm pretty satisfied with the look and drive of the truck. I didn't want to worry about putting 285's on then figuring out how to deal with the rub if there was one. The 275's look good in the wheel well, they are just enough tire for a sub 3-inch lift and I eventually put some spidertrax 1.25 spacers on just a few weeks ago to give me a little poke.

 

2" lift. 255/80 on trd pro's. No rubbing whatsoever.

 

Love, love, love them. Just wrapped up the wa bdr this past weekend in them, and they were beasts. Air down to 20-25, and they ride like a dream over the roughest terrain. Highway noise not really noticeable between them and stock imo, which was my biggest concern.

 

Another vote for the St Maxx

 

I'm lifted 2.5" front, 3"+ rear.
Have 17" X 8.5" wide wheels with 0 offset and 255/80/17 Cooper ST MAXX.
Running RekGen mudflats. After installation, I did have some rubbing on the front mudflaps. Got an alignment with more forward caster. Rubbing gone.

 

Are those 255/80/17?

 

Yes sir

 

Do you have any more pics to share? Really loving the look.

how noticeable was the loss in power?
