    Been debating on going with a 255/85/16 tire on my 2011 Tacoma and was wondering if anyone has ever seen this size tire on a Tacoma running the Maxtrac spindles? I know the spindles push out the front tires a little bit and was wondering how far it would be pushed out running 255/85/16 tires? If anyone has seen this and might possibly have pictures of this setup, please post them up.

    I tried searching and never came up with what I was looking for....

    IMO: your taking your already "wide" ass front end and making it appear wider... hence why 285's look so nice, all meaty and such....

    now your doing the same thing, but then sticking the equivalent of toothpicks on.... will it function? yes. will it drive right? yes. will you end up probably going nuts and changing over anyway? ;)
