3” Lift with 32” tires. What wheel offset?

Recently purchased 5100 lift and 32” tires. Do I need to have offset wheels? I’m looking at some RR4 Matte Bronze wheels at the moment. Any help would be great!

 

you need to give much more details man.

 

It depends on the width of the wheels. If you go with 16x8, you want around 0 offset which is usually 4.5" backspacing. If you go with a 17x8.5, you want around -10 to -6 mm backspacing. 17x9 should be around -12mm backspacing. Just make sure the wheels are 6x5.5" bolt pattern or the 6x139.7 I think and the center bore is around 106.1 mm or bigger. The Chevy/GM wheels have a smaller center bore but a lot of places list them as Toyota/Chevy/GM. Post up what specific wheels you are looking at and people will double check them for you.

My wheels are 17x8.5 with -10mm offset. They stick out more than stock because of the extra width stock 7 or 7.5" wheels.

 

I was looking at 17x8.5 - 1 Single Piece / 6x135 / +0mm set of wheels. But now I need -10mm bs

 

i would assume with stock rims, going up a size to 265/75R16 from 265/70R16 wouldn't need any spacer?

 

I’m going from 265/65/r17 to 285/70/r17 tires

 

i know, was asking for myself. pardon the attempted thread jack

 

A 3" lift will make you lose caster in the suspension geometry which is why most change the upper control arm to an aftermarket to get some caster back. When the UCA is changed to gain caster it pushes the tire back towards the fender well. The more the tire is pushed back the more that's needed to trim the mid cab mount, fender, fender flare, and fender well itself. I've read some people saying their 3" lift with aftermarket UCA's required no trimming and some claim to have had to do minor trimming. I'm fairly sure if you stay with the stock UCA's you won't need to trim but your caster will be off after an alignment.

A 17x8.5 with a 285/70R17 with a 4.5" back space will clear JBA high caster UCA's so it should clear stock UCA's too. Tacomas use hub centric wheels that rely on the correct hub diameter to center the wheel. The hub bore is 106mm and most aftermarket wheels for Toyota's have a 106.1mm hub bore.

 

Gotcha, so if I bought a set of 17x8.5 / 6x139.7 with a -10mm BS would that fit my 285/70/r17 tires plus having some LR UCA’s AND have the tire stick out just a bit? Not taking into consideration CMC and so forth.

 

Short answer: contact SPC directly.

Long answer: I don't know what SPC UCA's require for wheel backspace. When comparing images of SPC's and JBA's it looks like your set up should work but I don't know for sure. SPC should know.

SPC UCA's have more alignment adjustability than JBA UCA's for a wider range of lift applications but I've read too many stories of that getting knocked out of their settings requiring realignment. SPC words their ball joints as being aXias, I have no idea what that means. I knew I didn't want uniball ball joints because most of my driving will be in the street and uniball ball joints tend to squeak more and are better suited for off road use. SPC's also require greasing more often. JBA UCA's use common Chevy truck ball joints.

 

You will be close to the body mount but if you run the SPC's at position D, E or F you should be good. I have the same spec wheels with 305/65/17 and SPC's at position E and get a little rub on the mount at full lock. They stick out a little which is what leads to the slight rub. If I was going to be doing any serious off roading, I would try trimming the mount first, then maybe position F before doing a CMC.

 

Does your truck have a body lift?

 

No, it has OME 885 springs on the Nitro shocks and an add-a-leaf in the rear.

 

Thank you for the reply.
