Lift/Tire/Wheel question

Hey guys, I'm about to pull the trigger on buying some tires, wheels and leveling the truck. My goal is that nothing will rub, gas mileage won't go to shit and I'll be overly satisfied with the set up. Here's what I have planned:

2in spacer lift from toyota pro shop (frowned upon I know)
P285/70R17 toyo open country AT3 tires (275 wasn't an option from toyo)
17in method 305s at the offset of 17x8.5/6x5/0/4.75 (I want to stay with a 17in wheel)

Let me know if you see any problems with that setup. Thanks fellas

 

You will very likely need a cab mount chop and to hammer the pinch weld. Your gas mileage will take hit.

 

I'm going with...
It'll Rub
Gas Mileage is gonna go to shit
You'll be satisfied (with the look)

 

285s = no bueno gas mileage

its smiles per gallon at that point

 

^what they said

edit - if you want 33s, the 255 variety will have less issues (255/80-17)

 

Get a 275 tire then? Any recommendations?

 

with only 2" of lift 265s look good imo, staying with a lighter tire can help with MPGs.

275s only run in heavy c/e loads

 

Unless you NEED more ground clearance, a 265/70r17 is, IMO, the best bet if you wanna keep mileage decent and still look cool. The offset of the wheels make the biggest difference visually. Having that little bit sticking out looks MUCH better (once again IMO)

 

thicker the better

 

Gotcha! Will the 17x8.5 wheel fit with a 265 tire?

 

yes

 

Yuppers

 

Awesome. I guess im gonna run a 265/65R17 with a 17x8.5/6x5/0/4.75 wheel. Sound good to everyone? Want it to look good too... Just don't want any rubbing, don't wanna cut anything nor my mpg to go to shit haha

 

@MikeysTacoma133

Where are you located?

 

I would go with a 265/70-17 if I were you. 32" tire as opposed to a stock 31" tire. No trimming/cutting should be required.

 

here are the Toyos in all the different pertinent sizes/plys/load rating, etc.

 

C load duratracs in 265/75 only weigh 45 lb each so I would say that is your best bet for not rubbing and keeping decent mpg

 

If you get E rated tires of any size your MPG is gonna rapidly decline.
