    yeah 285x70 are just a little smaller but since your truck is newer then 09 you need a at least an 18" wheel for a 6" kit because of the vsc

    the only way to run a 6 inch fabtech kit for the 11' tacoma is to buy 18s?

    Nitto runs big. Those 33's post are way bigger than a 285/70 would be
