need info help 18x9.5 -12

so im receiving a 3in spacer lift and soon to get 18x9.5 -12 offset wheels. what size tires will i need to run? what kind of trimming will be needed? pics would help also.

Thanks!

 

no one??

 

What size do you want to run? There's no "required" size, you just need a tire that will mount on your rim. While shopping for tires you will see a spec that says rim width range make sure the tire will mount to your width and that it's for the correct diameter wheel. From there the larger tire you go with the more trimming that's required.

Fender trimming isn't the same for everyone. Two people with the same truck, same suspension, same wheels and tires may need to trim differently. Only way to know is when you get it all installed. Typically its the lower front of the plastic fender liner, and the lower back of the fender liner. You may also need to do the cab mount chop to alleviate rubbing.

 

i dont want anything too big of a tire but not too small where it looks like my truck skipped leg day. i do a lot of driving, 32k in 1 year.

Take a look through and see what look you like.

Most with 3" lift will run 285 size, the stock size of 265/65-17 is about 30.5".
You could fit a 285/60-18 (31.5") or 285/65-18 (32.5") the larger you go the more trimming required.

 

Awesome! Ive tried searching but never got any good info. Maybe i was being too specific.

Thanks for the help!

 

Honestly I struggle using the search tool on TW, I use google and search tacomworld blah blah blah whatever I'm searching and it's much more useful.
