Tire questions

I have recently installed a 3" leveling kit on my 04 tacoma. i bought some tires the other day Nitto trail grappler M/T at 285/75r16 and when they mounted them the tire was touching the control arm and well could not be installed. i was told that i needed a lift or a different rim with a negative offset. i dont go offroad much so i just bought some KMC HD addict 17" with a -12mm offset and 4.5 backspacing. So my question is what is the max tire size that will fit without problems? i currently have bf goodrich all terrain KO's at 265/75/r16 with plenty of clearance.

 

what about wheel spacers?

yea you need like 4'' BS for that big a tire.

265/75 think is the biggest in terms a width.

a 255/85r16 is taller but pretty skinny but will fit.

 

thanks for the information, i think i will stick the 265/75

 

alright so new idea, possibly not a good one sooo. looking at the skyjacker 3" coilover and add a leaf lift with , could i use that in conjunction with the 3" leveling kit for more clearance?

 

No. Don't even think about it. haha

 

If your happy with your lift just stick with what you have. At this point it's not the height you need to worry about, it's the wheels. To fit those tires you either need a wheel with less backspace or keep the wheels and add spacers.
