    Will do, thanks.
    Question- I currently have 265s, going to go get the BFG A/Ts soon, would you recommend the same size or going with 285s? And if the 285s, how much of a lift will I need to optimum clearance? This could open up a whole can of worms, I realize.

    Haha yes it is quite the can of worms. The general consensus is that 265's are the biggest you can go on a stock height Tacoma, and the ideal lift for 285's is 3", and even then you may need to trim a little around the splash guards and definitely do a cab-mount chop.

    What offset are your wheels? I just put on some 285s and I need a 16x8 with a 0 offset. Great looking truck from OC btw!

    To be honest, I'm not sure what the o/s is. I bought them used, and all I know is that there isn't enough o/s to clear the calipers...which is why I had to put the Spidertrax spacers on.

    lol. yeah i hate when you try and get pic in a parking lot or something and they come and yell at you. i don’t go to parking lots much. i have had police ask me what i’m doing. but thats because i’m parked on a side walk or grass, or on a trail/ service road i should not be on. :rolleyes:
