Fitting 33s without a body mount chop

personally, I would leave it stock.

Welcome aboard!

Get a colorado hunting License. That will include backcountry rescue insurance.

 

I placed my stock wheels and KO2s back on. Since it is my daily driver, I did not want to run the risk of excessive rubbing.

 

I believe my issue is the offset

 

any offset?

 

I did a 2.5" lift (FOX 2.5, 650lb coils, Icon UCAs) and had plenty of room to spare with 285/75/16, KM3s. Wheels are 16x8, 0 offset. I decided that the tires were a bit of an overkill for me being mud terrain, and also wanted to go a bit bigger. Mounted 295/75/16 Toyo AT3s, and will definitely be needing a CMC. No rubbing on the street, highway or parking lot even with the steering wheel at full turn. But I'm sure it will rub in off-road terrain.

That little bit of difference between the two tire sizes is noticeable between the two sizes, although both tires are technically 33s.To me, it was totally worth the trade off of having a CMC..

 

Gotcha. yup. that will do it.

 

amateur, I know.

 

Offset and backspacing are related but will change as the wheel is wider or narrower.

 

So if I understand this correctly- negative offset gives the appearance of a wider stance, but the trade off is rubbing issues. I opted for zero offset for this reason.

 

Zero offset is still .5" further out than your stock TRD Pro wheels which are +12

 

This right here. ^^

Stock wheels (or stock dimensions).

Full 33" dia.

NO lift of any kind needed, no rubbing or cutting. Or risk of side effects from any of those.

Well filled wheelwells, better tire size in snow, available in E rating for your rocky area.

 

This is awesome information, thank you!

 

where is the fun in that??

 

Fair play

 

Ive seen some tacomas with my wheel and tire combo with a higher lift and slight cutting. Im determined!

 

Just take it to a shop with the wheels/tires you want and tell em make it fit. Get the CMC done and any fender trimming needed. Might as well just rip the band aide off and get it done with.

 

SPC UCAs (or other caster-correcting UCAs) could help your cause along with a good alignment that gets your caster maxed out and moves your wheels forward

edit for clarity:

 

Its really gonna depend on your wheel offset with my pro wheels I didnt need a chop but when I moved to my trail lites I did.

 

A body lift does nothing for the geometry between your wheel and frame, it's not going to change contact between tire and body mount.
