Lets see BFG T/A 285s on Sport 17" Alloys

Hey guys,

After much reading on here I'm leaning towards getting 285s for my next set. The ones I like are the BFG T/A Kos, 285/70/17.

All I have for lift is Billies @ 1.75 and TSB rear. I know the 285s will cause me to:
- Get more lift eventually (thinkin Eibach with billies @ 0.85+AAL, $250)
- Wheel spacers (spidertrax, $200)
- UCAs ($450)
- Regear (in a perfect world )

Since so many things come along with moving up to 285s (Doubling $ for tire upgrade)....cost cutting is nice, so keeping the rims makes it easier.

Plus I kinda like the alloys...kinda tired of the generic black rim look.
I LOVE THE ANTHRASITE FJ WHEELS! But too expensive...maybe I can powdercoat these to match those and then get the matching TRD center caps. Hm...

Anywho, can I see some 285s on the 17s? Any opinions on those who kept/changed wheels?

Thanks!

 

off topic, but is that really a pic of your truck in your sig? i mean, no photoshopped or anything? have any video of you landing? that's crazy!

 

Im going to run this exact wheel and tire set up. Im putting everything on this weekend and I'll post pics.

 

Dunno if the Vid still works, heres the link to the thread with video...

Yeah its real, thankfully nothing broke

 

X2 that is so effing gnarly you are hucking harder than long travels! love it!

 

I'm running 285's on stock rims with trd centercaps

 

thats why you buy new from the dealership....

 

BF 285's on 17's here but not on stock rims

 

I didnt realize the 285s require that much being that 265s fit stock. Im getting the TSB done next week and probably Billies at 2.25. 285s still wont fit with this?

 

Nice! The tires don't look too big I guess cause of the larger rim. I'm debating leaving the white letters out, i think its cool...but I do have Mag Grey...

You needed wheel spacers for no rub right? I want a spindle lift!

 

if you want more just let me know, im very glad with my setup no bad things to say

 

Im putting on a .5 inch spacer in the front because it is so close to rubbing!

 

Hi everyone I am new to tacomas. I have had chevys and so has my fam. But wen I met my fiance she owned a tacoma trd dclb. I fell in love wit it i gotta say. So i got her now an evo x and took over the tacoma. I just started wit my first mod, a tonneau cover. I am getting the stock alloy rims 17" powdercoated black after a get a 2.5" or 3" lift kit. my question is so it wont look dimb with stock tires and lifted what kind of tire sizes should I look into? I plan to offraod in pismo and take it to the mountains when I hunt. ..... I want grippy tires so any guidance would be great thanks!

 

what kind of lift are you running?

 

could you post up some side shots? Thanks

 

4" camburg spindles and 3" all pro leaf pack in the back. I haven't done any trimming and I only rub at full lock turn just a bit on the fender.

 

im running the 285/70/17 as well without any lifts. only rubs on full lock.
