    Hi everyone I just lifted my taco for the first time. The lift I went with was Eibach Pro Truck Lift Kit (set at the 1st/lowest clip), a Deaver Add-A-Leaf in the rear, and JBA Standard UCAs.

    I wanted a recommendation what would be the best Tire Size Choice and will purchase the new appropriate Wheels in terms of Looks & Functionality that are recommended here. Thanks In Advance.
    **Truck was purchased from previous owner with P-265/70/17 Bridgestone Alenza Plus with American Racing Outlaw Wheels with Specs: 17x8, Offset: 0, Backspace: 4.5"**

    ** Here are some Before & After photos (not the best photos)

    What’s the width and offset on those wheels? The Jbas have some requirements as to that.

    These are the American Racing Outlaw with Spec: 17x8 Offset: 0 Backspace 4.5". I'll update the main post since I forgot to mention that I will be purchasing the required wheels for the appropriate tire/wheel combo that people here would recommend.

    Depends on what you want to do with the truck and what your requirements are. How much rubbing are you ok with? How much cutting are you ok with? What type of use will it see?

    Consensus is a 265/75-16 is a safe move over stock 16s if you want a little more sidewall without interference.

    It's mostly a Daily Driver with some camping/easy trails and for my construction work. I'm ok with minimum cutting/trimming

    There are quite a few proponents of the skinny tires/pizza cutters and I'm one of them. I prefer the 255/85-16 (~33") and can run with no rubbing and no cutting/trimming (no mudflaps) thanks to SPC UCAs. Probably couldn't go much taller than that without a cab mount chop and some trimming. There are others that prefer the 285 tire size but don't know what that requires to fit.
