How to fit 35x12.5's

Hey guys, I've got a really good deal on some 35 12.5 r17's if I want them. The Tacoma (2005 TRD sport) is new to me. Previously I've had 1ton ford diesels so this is all new to me. The Tacoma has some rancho adjustable shocks front and back and it looks like the fronts have a spacer of some kind above the spring. My question is what would I need to do to fit 35's and is it worth doing? The truck is my daily driver but sees regular use on gravel roads, mud and snow. Thanks for any help.

 

minimum 5" lift in the front... +cab mount chop....+inner fender liner trimmed....+remove mud flaps ...+addtl trimming of inner fender plastic.

 

Unless your Taco has already been beaten really hard, the fact you had to ask that question should make you take a pause before considering making the necessary mods. Not trying to be mean. Its just a caution to think long and hard first.

 

Thanks guys! That"s exactly the kind of stuff I was looking for. Like I said, new to the Tacoma and with my other trucks could've just bolted them on and forgot about it. Seems like getting a good deal on the tires won't justify the work and expense of fitting them. Especially for a daily driver.

 

Trimming for 35's hope it's enough... Let me know haven't tested yet. Before the trim ripped my fender off.

 

5" lift? Pretty sure you can fit them with a 3" lift and trimmed fenders along with obviously cab mount chop and no mud flaps no?

 

Yes 3" works that's what I'm running

 

OP short answer is yes you can run 35's on 3 inches of lift but it's not easy to do. Here's a whole thread devoted to it enjoy your hours of reading. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2nd-gen-4x4-35s-3-lift-w-o-body-lift.285871/

 

Sell the 35s and buy 33s and bank money you made on the deal from the 35s

 

wrong. I'm on about 2" of front lift and clear 35s while stuffed.
