BP-51 OME

Gents and ladies,

I have a 2021 Taco. My lift is trickling in because of COVID b.s. I have a BP-51 kit coming in, icon upper control arms and spider trax 1.25” spacers on the stock rims. The local tire company tells me I can fit 285/75/16 tires on it. I’m not sure if I can because performance and NO RUBBING is my ultimate goal, no chop, nothing. Just a hunter that wants to be able to bomb roads and do it smoothly. Should I be conservative and get a 285/70/16 (the conservative route?, or go with 285/75/16 and hope it’s all good. I want as much tire as possible without rubbing. Thanks ahead of time!

 

Your spacers might push it into rubbing territory depending on wheels, its not the end of the world tons of people on here do the cab mount chopetc

 

I understand, and I’ll do a chop if I ABSOLUTELY have to, but I don’t want to go there. Small town in NM desert and shitty lease roads, washboard and ruts here. Wanna bomb it all!

 

Your enthusiasm outweighs your clearance. Every truck is different. I would expect to rub, and if you don't it's a damn miracle

 

I have similar suspension set up (no UCA) 265/70/17 and run the same style roads. Zero issues. I think it would be 265/70/16? Not sure. Give it a look. That 285 stuff is not needed at all honestly. Iv ran 285s on Tacoma’s sure. But older I get more I realize it’s 95% looks

 

Cmc, pinch weld done as well if you wanna fit 285s. Otherwise keep your stock tire size and buy something more agreasive or go skinny

 

255/75R17 is where it’s at.

 

I’m just trying to be realistic, no bullshit here.

 

The 255 that was posted, or the 265/75 is realistic. You said you don’t want to cut or smash or bang anything around. Those are things that need to happen for 285s

 

Right on, thanks for the responses.
