Tires and wheels ? lift or no lift ?

Picking up a 01 double cab 4x4 tacoma sunday and want to put some different wheels and tires on it just not for sure what to lift it? truck is white and i really like the XD SERIES ADDICT MATTE BLACK WHEELS dont want a big lift just want the 17's and some nice all-terrain tires to fit and clear ?

 

what size tires are you thinking about?

 

Depends on if i do a small lift or not ? Just looking for some opinions and ideas?

 

Don't lift it at all.

You can get larger diameter wheels, but put tires on it that have the same diameter and width as stock. Thats what I did when I went from 15" wheels to 16".

 

What size tire do i run with a 17x9 wheel ? what will clear and not be to narrow or wide with stock height ?

 

Almost any 17" truck tire will fit a 17" wheel. It all boils down to you really. I have a totally stock '03 with the 16" wheels and my buddy has the same. He rides on 255/85/16 BFG KM2 which is a really tall and skinny tire. Depending on what you go with, if you don't lift it, you may have to modify your wheel wells. Nothing too bad. My personal opinion, I wouldn't lift it. Then again, I'm a cheap person. I see nothing wrong with lifts and if it's your style then go for it! But I'd rather have the money than to lift my truck and have to worry about replacing suspension parts from time to time. Your truck was produced the height it's at for a reason. My $.02
