    Now that I have a dremel, I'm probably going to do some more trimming again. Didn't quite cut enough the first and second time haha

    3.75" backspacing FTW :D

    I barely touch the frame when off roading hard, I have no idea when though. I've fully flexed the front turned the tire and still don't see it rub. Definitely don't rub the frame when daily driving.

    Tire Selection for Expedition Travel

    The Expedition's West Tacoma is not a "rock crawler", and was designed for remote, rugged expedition travel in Mexico and throughout the Southwest. I wanted a tire with good load carrying capacity, sidewall strength, tall section height for ground clearance, and mud traction for our planned trips to the jungles of Guatemala and the outback of the Yukon Territory and Alaska.

    My research led me to the position that a tall, yet narrow tire would be the best solution for my needs and provide the greatest performance in the terrain I travel. To read the details of my research on tire selection and the influence of tread width on traction, please consult my recent Technical Document on the subject:Narrow tire benefits


    Installation of the 255/85 R16 on a 2004 Tacoma Double Cab


    Summary

    I chose this tire size even before I made my final vehicle selection. The Expedition's West Tacoma is the first documented to run this size tire. The 255/85 R16 (33.4x10.5 as measured) tire provides several performance advantages over the 33x12.5 or 285/75 R16 tire.

    Tire Details:

    BF Goodrich Mud terrain KM, LT 255/85 R16/D 119Q (note: BFG site lists height as 33.3" on a 7" rim)

    Wheel Details:

    American Racing 797 16x8, 4" backspacing

    Words of caution: I will start by saying the 255/85 is a large tire for the Tacoma with IFS and and full travel (no lowering of bumpstops, etc.), and is not a bolt-on endeavor. These tires measure 33.4" tall, and are much taller than the typical 33. The picture on the right shows the BFG 255/85 R16 next to a BFG 33x10.5 R15. There is a 1.3" difference in height between the two tires.

    So what does that mean? There are three critical items that need to be addressed when installing these tires.
    1. Fenderwell clearancing
    2. Relocation of the rear axle <----------------=
    3. Regearing of the differentials

    Eh, the rear really isn't much of an issue. The only thing that will get rid of it very well there is to trim the fenders.
