    I have the 6 inch flare fenders from Fiberwerx and an apex front bumper, would 33s fit without having to trim anything? Everything I find said that your stock fenders will rub and you would have to do a lot of trimming. If so since I no longer have stock. Would they fit?

    I think you're one of the first people to have glass fenders with no lift. I Could be wrong. I have a pretty good feeling you are going to be cutting on the cab mount at stock height. What offset wheels are you running? Get the saw and the BFH and do it! Report back and let us know.

    Haha I probably am, I'm doing long travel, but I made the stupid decision to put my fenders on first, when I should have done everything together. So now my truck looks stupid with stock wheels. And as of right now I NEED new tires because my tread is horrible. So why waste money and buy small tires when I can just go ahead and buy the tires I want for LT and go ahead and get that expense out of the way...

    More costly on gas and 35s over time wear down your truck because a Tacoma is tiny and 35s are heavy as hell, my truck is my everyday driving and I drive A LOT because of work.

    Lift or no lift, the wheel position at full tuck will be the same. With 33"s, cab mount chop may or may not be needed depending on wheel offset and tire width. Could also be somewhere in between: you may have no rubbing in daily driving but some rubbing at full tuck and full steering lock, for example.

    When you get LT, wheel clearance will depend a bit on the exact kit you use (whether it's 2", 3" or 4" wider per side).

    There's one 33" tire size (255/80-17) that fits stock trucks with stock fenders with no rubbing, but it may be too narrow for your tastes.
