    Good afternoon dudes and dudets!
    I have a question concerning wheels and lifts. I recently bought some stealth6 16x8 -25 wheels and have a 2.5 inch bilstein 5100 lift on a 2008 taco. I went to get tires at discount tire and was told by a sales rep that the wheels wouldn’t work with my current setup. Are there any charts or forums where I can find a solution? If anyone has had a different experience or is knowledgeable in this area I’d love to hear about it! Thanks for your help!

    Maybe because they are so negative in offset? Because you may likely rub with that much poke. What tire size are you going with anyway?

    I currently have 265 65 and wanted to go up one level to about 265 70? I wanted to get a slightly bigger tire underneath. I’m debating whether or not to accept having a smaller tire and just stick with the wheels I got or return them and get 17 x 8.5 with a -10.

    Like, so many.
    Yeah, go -10. -25 is too much.
