    Im looking to put a ~3" lift on my Extra Cab. Im not getting new rims. Would the stock rims look ok with the lift? Im thinking about also adding a 1" spacer on the wheels...

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.

    With a little bit bigger tires it will look fine.

    Just upgrade your tires to slightly bigger after your stock ones wear out. No big deal.

    Didnt want to start a new thread so I resurrected this one.

    My tire size is LT263/70-R16 (pic below). I have the back lifted via AAL (~1.5-2"). I plan to add some 5100's on the rear for ~2.75" lift and OME 881's up front. Would these tires look ok or would I need something bigger? Im also looking into some wheel spacers (nothing over 1") so the tires match up better with the flared fenders.
