    1. hi TW, just bought my very first truck. Now I've got all these Q's running in my head so hope you guys can help me out. BUT MY 3 MAIN QUESTIONS ARE......
      1- whats the biggest tire i can put on my tacoma after a 3" suspension lift???(3" front w/ strut spacers and the rear with OME cs046r leaf spring)
      2-will i have to do any trimming to prevent rubbing???
      3- I just order a set of 16" level 8 mk6 with 0mm offset(6 lugs). Are those compatible with thetruck???? [​IMG]
      I've got a ton more questions but the 3 question above are my main concern right now. Thanks a bunch guys, glad to be here. ohhh and this truck was a steal for me 86k mile and it was only $9500. Damn cheap imo. Californiatruck

    Perhaps order the rims AFTER you know they fit.

    As long as the lug pattern is correct it should bolt on. Then its just rubbing from tire to worry about

    265/75/16 will fit no problem. Width and height both contribute to rubbing.

    My truck is the 4-door version of yours, identical otherwise...even the same color. I'm running 235/85 16's with the OME lift and stock rims with no problems at all. I kind of like the tall skinny look. By the way, you got a lot better deal than I did. Congratulations.

    I went with the 881 springs by OME for about a 2" lift over stock. I used to rub on the frame a little with the wheel fully turned, but that doesn't seem to be happening since I installed the lift. In October, I'll be running the truck over some trails in Ouray, Colorado for a week, so I might hear a little rub every now and then under certain trail conditions, but I'm not worried about it.
