Tire worries

I just got my xd monster and 285/60/18 nitto trail grapplers and look really big and I was worried they won't fit. I'm putting a 2.5 inch level kit with it and was just wondering what y'all think! Please help!

 

Go get the tires mounted and try them.... Never know till you try

 

With 2.5", it should clear with some plastic trimming. Hopefully you got the correct size wheels with 4.5" backspace.

When I say clear, it would clear in normal on road driving. Off road would get some rubbing. Most likely cab mounts.

Mount them, turn your wheels full lock and trim where it rubs.

 

I don't know what the backspace it but the company I ordered them from said it was for my model tacoma

 

Do you mean 285/65? I think you do, in which case even with 2.5", you'll rub a lot of plastic. Nothing that can't be trimmed away though.

As far as your wheels, they should be -12/4.5" backspace.

 

Well for 18X9 I hope you got the -12 offset because that would have the correct backspace. The +18 or +35 offset will be the wrong ones.

 

Might want to go full 3" lift buddy.

 

Maybe 4" spindles since the OP is a prerunner.

 

Ain't got that kind of money. I just graduated high school and am on a budget! Trying to stay as cheap as possible

 

You'll be fine with 2.5", just trim where it rubs and save your money for a better set up down the road.
