    I bought 285/70/17 goodyear duratrac tires. I just installed a 3 inch lift on my 2009 access cab trd and i just got a call from my installer saying that my tire diameter is to big. Is that because they havent trimmed yet or is there something else.
    Please help me out thanks!

    should have asked them width wise, or vertical wise? If they are to big width wise, they will only rub a bit, and you will find out where soon once you start driving and making turns. Or are they to big for the rims themselves?

    Rubbing on the front usually means it's time to trim the plastic. Take a razor blade to it
