    Okay, so I am currently trying to figure out how I will lift my Tacoma and what rims and tires I will get. It's a lot more complicated than I thought.

    To start, I have a 2012 Access Cab Tacoma. It is an inline 4 and I have 5-lugs.

    I have been having trouble finding a leveling/lift kit for a 5-lug Tacoma because most kits are made for 6-lug. I thought about getting 6 lug adapters but it will cost too much for my budget. Any recommendations on kits?

    Now onto rims and tires. I am lost and do not know where to start when it comes to figuring out the right combination of rim and tire. I want my Tacoma to be taller and maybe have a bit of offset but I'm not looking for anything crazy, just for it to look like a regular truck. Could someone give me some guidance or help me figure out what I need?

    Toytec should be your one stop shop for all things suspension. Wheels and tires are very easy to figure out if you find a style you like. Many brands carry 5 lug wheels like scs or rrw. Offset should remain between 0 and -12 in my opinion. Staying within that offset will guarantee no major trimming or relocation of vital components.

    This is amazing, thank you. Will there be any necessary trimming you think?
