    So i have 3" lift with 885s and 1.5" lift in the rear.
    Also 1.25" Hub centric wheel spacers.

    Im going to buy tires this weekend. Just want to make sure i go with the best size.
    Im putting them on stock 17" rims

    265/75 = 32.6 x 10.4
    275/70 = 32.3 10.8
    275/75 = 33.2 x 10.8
    285/70 = 32.7 x 11.5

    So i i know i would have to trim with the 285's ..

    Would 275/75s fit without rubbing issues?

    I wanted 285's but i just dont want them to be too wide.

    Need some imput!

    Just run the 285's, trimming is usually pretty minor unless you wheel it hard.
    Doubt you'll find any 275/75/17's or 265/75/17's, never seen a tire in those sizes before personally.

    A 275/70 would have slightly less rubbing, but options in that size is limited as well. You'd pretty much need 265/70/17's or 285/70/17s. 265s fit stock and look small on a lifted truck IMO

    I have a 2012 dcsb 4x4. I did alot of research and found with my bilstein lift I run an 18 wheel with 265/70/18 which is 32.6" tall but narrow enough to not require any trimming because there is no rubbing issues...( I wasnt cutting my new truck)

    The 18" option k9cinco mentioned does open up some other tire choices. As for the spacer, I think that helps on options like running stock rims and 285's for UCA clearance if I recall, but unfortunately I don't have that experience.

    The way the strut spring is indexed provides for no need of new control arms. I indexed my springs to allow for clearance. Needed no wheel spacers...4.5 offset only on wheels

    Traded the 2015 TRD Pro 6spd Supercharged on a PowerWagon and could not be happier. My 2011 Tacoma with the TX Baja package (Added by me) is still treating me great. My 1985 Toyota never skips a beat.
    I love my 265/75r16
