    With a 3in leveling kit can I get 18x10 rims under my truck? If not what size can I fit under it?

    285/70/17 and 285/75/16 seem to be popular sizes.

    Mudflaps will have to go and you probably have to do some minor trimming. What size tire were you thinking of 285/60r18?

    I had to trim the inner fender, the fender flare at the bottom by the mud flap, remove the mud flaps, CMC and I still have to flatten the pinch weld and possibly trim some more.

    For a 35 inch tire on any 3 inch lift be prepared for a lot of trimming banging down the pinch weld trimming fender flares etc you'll have a lot of rub if you don't trim right on any 35 inch tires

    Rim at that point doesn't matter the size of the tire will be 35inches regardless so you'll so close to the same trimming if it's a 20 or 16 inch rim personally I don't like bigger than 17s on tacos they're not big enough in my opinion to run bigger rims than that but to each his own

    18x9 with a 4.5" BS, you will need some inner plastic trimming running 285/65/18. Personally, less rim-more rubber more ideal for sidewall protection, bead protection during low psi applications, and much more available tire choices and cheaper pricing.
