lift and tire ?'s

i got a 10 taco db with the pro-comp 3" nitro lift (spacers in the front and block in the rear)
in the instructions/site it says the largest tire you can run is a 33
i still have the stock ucas for now.
im gonna get some level 8 zx wheels and not sure yet on the size tire
cant pick between 285-75-16 or 265-75-16.
i think i will be able run to the 265-75-16 no problem as its a lil taller.
but if i run the 285 i think i might hit the uca or not and i know i might have to trim so plastic/mud flaps
let me know what you think

 

If you dont care about having to cut run 285s.

 

285's are the worst tires size out there IMHO for these trucks. They rub on everything and give you jack for additional clearance vs stock.

For the amount of work needed to clear 285's might as well go with bigger so you get the added benefits of a taller tire and more clearance...vs what is basically just a wider tire than stock.

My 255's make 285's look like baby tires and I didn't have to:

beat in fire wall
cut cab mount
cut fenders
rub offroad all the time

 

I could put on 35's and not rub until I went offroad.

All the guys I know running that sized tire who wheel hard rub non-stop or have done extensive modification and still rub.

Stock Tacoma's rub when wheeled hard......

 

i think it can go both ways

 

Just saying...285/70r17's on here and they don't rub even with hard wheeling...

 

yea i really want a 285-75-16 but i dont wanna have to cut the cab mount

 

it will be a mall crawler mainly with some light off roading

 

im leaning towards the 26/75/16 so i dont lose too much on the mpg with rims and tires and lift and s/c
