    2" Spacer and 33s, i need new tires and can't decide if i should keep the 33s or get 31s, i am on a tight budget because my catalytic converter went out and i need to do new brakes all the way around, but i still can't decide if saving the money for the 31s will still look good

    Yes
    Dropping all the way down to stock size may look a little odd. Why not 32's? Check out treadwright if you're on a budget.

    Those are closer to a 32. 31s were stock on some first gens. And treadrights have a really good review. Very few failures, about as many retread failures as brand new tire failures

    Check my build, I was on 265/75/16 for a while and liked em. First page should give you a good idea of what they look like.

    Oh yeah, without a doubt. Those 265/75/16's look great on your truck - the perfect size.

    But I'm not a fan of really large tires on Tacoma's. Some people do like them though.

    when I was in a tight spot I was able to find used tires with 50-75 tread life left for less than half the price. a shop did it so they guaranteed them for 5k and that they would balance.
    Might looks to see if any shops will do that in your area.

    I had 17" 33s on a tundra at the time
