    I am wanting 18' wheels with possibly some 33's.

    Would you guys get a lift? I think I am gonna need a lift otherwise I will have rub. I am planning on *NOT doing heavy offroad would you just get a leveling kit or budget spacers?

    This is a daily driver...highway / city mostly.

    I do not want to put stress on other components which is why I am hesitating going with a lift.

    Maybe something like below.

    You can't fit 33's on a stock suspension, so yes you will have to lift.

    If I were in the market for 18" wheels I would be all over the XD Monsters, they are sharp! Actually those Fuel wheels pictured look very similar.

    You don't need a lift for just the wheels unless you are set on 33" tires, even after a lift you may need to do some trimming with the 33s but not much at all if you don't go offroad. Also, just FYI, it is advised to get new upper control arms for any lift over about 2". Some do, some don't, for most people it depends on how well their alignment comes out after the lift. There is a lot of info/debate on that topic on this forum. Good luck and post pics of whatever you get!

    I want to set up my Tacoma similar to the one shown above. Does anyone know off hand what size tires those are? I know it's a 3" pro comp lift just can't find the tire size.

    Looks like 285s to me. Wheel is probably 18" so they are probably 285/65/18 Toyo MTs
