Tires and Wheels - HELP!!!!

Im a new Tacoma owner and just put a 3" lift in. I wanted to put 33" tires in with my stocks wheels but was told they rubbed and wouldnt fit. They told me I needed to get new wheels to offset the tires. I really am new to all of this. I would like 33" BFG tires and a mostly black wheel. any suggestions?

 

Read the forums , educate urself the ask specific questions .... Please

 

4.5" backspacing is best for reducing rubbing on these trucks.

What lift did you get? You may still rub with a 33" tire even with the best backspacing.

 

I'm looking for wheels also black alloys 16" or 15". I need tires as well I just put mtr's on my other toyota and they are impressive. so for tires it's mtr or km2. Welcome to Tacoma world.

 

I thought i had asked a fairly specific question hard2kill...I was looking for suggestions. especk thank you for taking a genuine interest, what does backspacing mean and how do I go about finding wheels to get it?? I put in a rough country lift. Sorry for my ignorance, I'm just learning about my truck.

 

Here is some info on backspacing that should help you out:

ya that website is good. u can also google "wheel backspacing" and u may get a picture/diagram that may help more.

i like to go to 4wheelparts.com to look at wheels. they have a good selection and u can narrow it down by size. u need at least a 16" diameter aluminum wheel. 8-9" wide is most popular. the bolt pattern is 5 on 5.5. The description of each wheel will include the backspacing. i never look at the offset info because that is just another way to look at backspacing depending on the width of the wheel.

 

especk...you rock!! I actually jus finished ordering my wheels, got some help from another taco owner. I ordered XD 797 Spy gloss black machined wheels. They are super sexy!! I ordered 17x9 6x5.5 with a 4.53 backspace. Once I get them and put them on my truck I'll take a picture.

 

Sweet. I meant 6 on 5.5, not 5 on 5.5. (if anyone noticed) oops

 

What size tire did you decide on?

 

I went with 285/70/17 BFG all terrains. I ordered my wheels off I rimzone.com. I ordered them on Saturday night and they've been delivered to my US address already!! Quick work!!

 

Can't wait to see the pics!

I have pro comp 7047's 17x9 on a three inch lift. they are 5.5 backspace i believe. I'm runnin 295/70's on them. no issues. you may have to inner fender well trim.

 

All done....for now.

 

COPYCAT!! Lol! Aren't they much better looking in person? I love yours with the lift. Looks great!

 

LOL Babytruck!!! Who knew!?!? They are sexy tho right? Must be a girl thing...LOL!!
They totally look better in person, photos dont do it any justice!!!

Thanks Memario1214...I'm happy...for now...till the next thing comes along, like steps, fender flares and so on and so on!!!

 

OP, your username makes me lol

 

It's funny because people were saying not to get them because they look too busy. I ALMOST went with the Revolvers, the all black ones. But with the black fenders and black tires I needed some kind of break in color. The night before last I caught some guy trying to steal them while it was parked in my driveway. I've only had them for a week or so.
