    yo Im new here so sorry if Im not doing this right

    So I recently got a 2inch leveling kit for the front, waiting a bit for a actual lift kit, got 275/70/17 KO2s AT on the stock Tacoma wheels as well.

    I knew it’d rub a bit on the uca when I turn but I didn’t think it’s be this bad, so I’m wondering if any other wheel set up like a 0 offset or negative offset will stop it from rubbing on the uca? I also don’t wanna get a wheel set up that will just start rubbing on other parts of the wheel well :/

    also I just got an alignment when I changed my tires this week so would I have to get another alignment once I change my wheels?

    Any advice ?

    All the things!
    What wheels do you have? What is their offset?

    An immediate and easy solution is to run a wheel spacer. I'm not an advocate of this solution, but if you do, stick to known brands like Spidertrax or Bora.

    Yes, a wheel with an appropriate offset will help clear the UCA.

    No, you do not need an alignment when swapping wheels.

    2" is a lot of lift for the stock UCA's. Were you able to get appropriate alignment numbers?

    i have the stock wheels still I think they have a positive offset , do you think a wheel with a good offset will help but also not rub elsewhere? Any recommendations on wheels would help too
