    I own a 2013 Tacoma TRD Off road. I powder coated my wheels black and did some other black mods to it. I'm looking to lift it 3 inches but want to keep my wheels. Anyone already done this?? Don't know what size tire will fit/look good. Leaning towards a Nitto trail grappler or bfg at. Help, advice, and pictures are greatly appreciated!!

    Thanks!

    If you do the OME kit with 885's you'll get 3''
    And you can keep the stock wheels, just bump up the size on the tires.

    with a 3" lift you can fit 33's but will need to have a cab mount chop done and may need to trim the plastic a bit. you can fit 32" tires stock with minor rubbing from what I have heard. The only way you'll be able to fit 33's is to do a cab mount chop and some trimming. you can check my build to see how it sits with a 3" lift on 33's and stock 16" wheels. i also have aftermarket upper control arms so my alignment wouldn't be off after the lift. however, after the lift and uca's it put my front tires about 1" away from the uca's and rubbed a little in reverse. put new 16" wheels with 4.5" backspacing and that solved that problem.

    Edit: here's a picture with the stock wheels

    It can. Turn your wheels all the way to the left and run your hand behind your tire, same all the way to the right. I have a CMC and they rubbed and I did that and found out my tires were rubbing on the UCA. got new wheels with less backspacing and they're fine now, just need to trim some plastic.
