Lifting 5 Lug... What tires should I get?

Had all of the parts for a while now but finally throwing on the Fat Bob's 2.75" lift on the 5 Lug. Black box mod is done and fenders are trimmed.

Will be installing the Bilstein 5100s in the rear and 4600s in the front.

That being said, I have some 15x7 Nomads waiting for some tires to be thrown on so I can bolt it all up once lifted.

Currently looking at 32x11.5x15 and 31x10.5x15.

I've heard of many fitting 33s with just the lift, but I don't want to push it. Anyone wanna weigh in on 32s vs. 31s?

 

You are much more likely to get relevant answers on the 5-lug forum - https://www.tacomaworld.com/forums/5-lug.114/

 

Will you lift the rear or is Carolina squat the goal?

Wheel specs matter. A lot.

And yes, 5 lug forum is where you want to be.

Hint: be aware both lift and tire package are going to create more of a slug than it already is.

 

Ah yeah totally thought I was in the 5 lug forum, was up too late lol. And yes its the full kit no squat over here haha.

And she's not gonna be fast but that's not necessary. Will regear eventually

 

The general advice from TW is not to do it.

 

Not seeking power, speed, or whatever, just aesthetics. I know!

 

By the way I'm interested on seeing how the nomad wheels look. I've been looking at them for my truck too. What color did you go with?

Do you mind posting some pictures once your build is done?

 

I got the 502 ARVO Satin Blacks. I'll post photos yes! But for now here's pictures that inspired me to buy mine, someone in the FB group shared photos of their Dusk colored ones. I'll quote their posts:


"We did the 3” torch with 33x10.5r15 and they fit prior to adding the 3” body lift. Our wheels are 15x7 w/ 4.5” backspace if I remember correctly. All we did was the black box mod and took a box cutter to the back of the fender well plastic. Clears lock to lock"


"Here’s before the body lift was added"

 

It looks like it will be an awesome build! Good luck!
Keep us posted

 

Will do! Gotta decided on a tire size sooner rather than later lol
