    First Time posting here.

    I own a 2011 Tacoma Double Cab, and just purchased a 2 1/2" suspension spacer for the front and 2" block kit in the back. My main question here is: Will I need wheel spacers for 33x12.50x17 tires to avoid any possible rubbing? I have after market XD Spy wheels 17x8 in size.

    Please let me know what you guys think.

    It really depends on the offset of the wheels. If the wheels are OEM spec offset/backspacing, I believe you will need spacers to clear the 33"s from rubbing the UCA.

    12.5 is pretty wide for our trucks. 285/70/17 would require less trimming. We need to know offset/backspacing to detrmine if you will rub on the UCAs, i can tell you this much though, with 33x12.5 your going to rub somewhere

    The wheels are +18 offset with 5.21 backspacing.

    But after further looking around , I'm thinking of just going with the Mickey Thompson Baja Mtz 255/75/17

    Thats a good choice on the tall and skinny. You can even 255/80/17 without much trimming. If you go 12.5" wide you will need less offset for sure, like -12. The specs you are looking at should be fine with skinny tires i think

    I think Im going to stay 255/75/17 they're an inch taller than the ones I have now and about a 1/2" skinnier. Im trying to avoid doing any trimming at all.
