    2001 Tacoma crew cab 3.4 v6 TRD PreRunner
    OME suspension, ARB Front Bumper
    I've searched,probably not good enough, but I'm posting this question anyway.
    Current Setup - 2001 Tacoma Prerunner (4 door) - all stock
    About to install OME new suspension in the front and back (Add a Leafs in back from ToyTec).
    Planning to keep stock wheels.
    Would like a larger tire and have been looking at the General Grabber AT/2 - 285 75/R16. I'm no tire expert so I'm looking for either confirmation that this setup will work, too big or too small. Not looking to do modifications to body to make bigger tires fit.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    I'm not sure, but I suspect you may need to trim and/or install wheel spacers. But again I don't know. Just a hunch.

    Won't fit on stock wheels. Need around 3.5 back spacing. I think a 265/75/16 will be a better tire.

    If you don't want to trim, go with 265's..285's are sexy though. Driving habits WILL affect how and what you trim..

    tires will hit the upper control arm, you will need spacers or different rims as previously mentioned
