    Hi TW - been lurking for awhile. I was a Wrangler guy until I switched over to a Tacoma as a 3rd vehicle last fall. I went into the store to buy a base SR5 but brought my wife and ended up walking out with a loaded TRD Off Road :notsure:. Love the vehicle so far and am deciding to do a few mods.

    I was fortunate enough to just order a set of SCS Ray 10 Matte Gunmetal 17'x8.5 with the -10mm offset. I've searched the forums up and down and am looking for some advice as the wheels are arriving Friday. Like most of us they will literally be on fire in my garage waiting to be mounted.

    My question is regarding ordering tires and/or a lift. I'd like to go with the Nitto Ridge Grapplers 285/70/17 but am curious with the aforementioned setup what type of lift I'll need. Can I get away with a 2" lift up front via a set of Bilstein 5100's and 1" block in the back?

    Other scenario is that I order 265/70/17 and leave as-is with no lift (from what I gather it shoudl clear). I'd like the truck to look more aggressive so I don't mind spending a little more to go with the 285's. In all transparency the only off-roading I'd be doing is on the beach/dunes on Cape Cod.

    Thank you TW - I look forward to your thoughts and will post before/after photos once done.

    *Post title should correctly read 285/70/17
