Best tires for 2.5 inch lift

Where did I loose you guys? Everything I wrote is the way it has played out for everyone owning our vehicles. Its all out there for you to search. unless you want to run a drop bracket and mall crawl then the above and below will apply

Castor angle is best googled 'cause its function is fancy, but for the purpose of gaining clearance you would use your alignment cams to swing the tire forward in the wheel well. That brings the whole arc of the tires suspension path forward and away from the firewall. It WILL adversely effect your handling to run out of spec caster. I tried it for a bit though and didnt think it was that bad.

here is some more info on what you would need to hammer. I had 285/75/16 tires prior to going 35". One picture shows how much pounding was needed for 33x11.5 with already a 1" body lift. I did not use the caster adjustments at all however for these pictures so there is more room to be had. p.s its always better to cut and patch the firewall for 35", but I'm lazy lol.

Hahahaha, you didn't loose me and I'm not saying you're not right. If someone doesn't want to cut and hammer for clearance, then yes 32"s are all you can get there. I had a truck with a DB lift (came with truck) and that cleared 35x13.5 toyos with 3"ish BS wheels. With a hammer and a saz-all you can make just about anything fit. It just comes down to how much a person wants to modify.

I don't particularly care about pretty. I build my trucks to function the way I need them too. I say, screw the body, lets get 40"s on there somehow

 

Also, I'm not flexin my internet muscle and trying to pick a fight. I could careless, I'm just saying a little bit of clearancing and elbow grease from Napa can make 35''s look factory clean.

 

Can you get a locker on a PreRunner?

 

I had no idea you were drop bracket...Sorry my comment wasnt meant to be catish as it now sounds.

Yes and some of the guys really like them since they help out alot.

 

Lies

See my build if you change your mind about 15's

you should be good with 285's tho

 

Go 35X12.5-15 and be done with it. Yeah there is a cab chop to deal with but once you take it off road its all worth it...

 

showoff

 

for what purpose?
looks only?
off roading (articulation?)

 

It's cool, I had one on my old truck. It sucked but I still wheeled the piss out of it.

 

Ya, it's the same as any other tacoma. If you do a lot of street driving, I would suggest a selectable like ARB or Elocker

 

offroad capabilities I just installed 4.56 gears and arb lockers. Need bigger tires now. I have had 32x11.5's and 33x12.5's I am thinking going with 305x70r16's would be perfect. I like 33's just feel 12.5 wide is a bit much in my opinion looks funny.

 

So you don't want these to stick out to far?
you can't go wrong with MTR's or KM2's

 

I have 285/70s on my rig with 2.75 inches roughly of lift i rub a little bit if i go full lock and the front end dips down a little. Nothing really of any major concern, well to me anyway.

 

How much backspace on the rims do you have?
