    Hey guys, my name is Jake. I'm from South Georgia. I've had my Tacoma for 2 years now. I'm looking into buying tires, rims, and lift soon, but sadly I'm pretty inexperienced and don't know much about what I'm doing. I start college next month and I'm about to be doing A LOT of driving... 5 hour ride. So, I'm asking for suggestions on what would be the thing for me to do. On a scale of 1-10, I'm about a 4 on how much I care about gas mileage. Right now I get about 18-19 mpg. Anyways, as of right now, I'm wanting to get 33's. I'm not sure if there's anyway where I won't scrub, but I'm looking for as little scrub as possible. So what would be the best size lift to get that will work and look the best? I know nothing about how rim size works or effects anything. So any input on that would help too. Let me know what you guys think, help me out.

    Daaaang 2014 and not even in college yet? You're pretty lucky dude. Anyways, welcome to TW.

    If you want to buy 33"s, you want to go with a 285/75/16 tire size and a rim with 4.5" backspacing. To fit the tire/wheel combo, you'll need a 3" lift and do some slight trimming.

    I recommend getting the lift from @HeadStrong Off-Road and getting Bilstein 5100s and Add A Leaf.
