2012 tacoma lift set-up ?'s

SORRY FOR THE THREAD JACK. i think i got my question answered. thanks for the info.

om topic: to my understanding, because this IS the tires size im going to get once i get my wheels in, i read numerous posts that 275/70/17 does clear with the 3" lift, if anything might have to just take off flaps, no trimming. 285/70/17 is where it starts to get sketch.

 

xero sin.....i think were in same boat, were looking for definate ya or na b4 we drop some cash on rubber...i think were goin to have to try it and see for ourselves....check this out i found the other b4 i joined, just type in sizes u want to compare it has side x side and over lay looking options...

FWIW , I run 275/70/17 with my stock Sport alloys , no rub on the UCA's

 

mikie: were definately in the same boat. i want the definitive answer, but so much gadamn variables LOL. i swear im gonna lose my mind reading all these fitment, lift, and tire posts LOL.

 

hahaha me too...im goin cross eyed, in my opinion, i think that i will go with the 285/65r18 tires...according to calculator they are same as 285/75 16, 275/70 17, which both these are 33x12.50 ISH tires...ISH being give or take a little bit on height...like .something, and width lil over inch or right inch narrower...thats what ive fount

 

sounds like a plan. you just picked the sizeamd gonna go for it. same for me, i just picked the size and am just gonna do it. there are soooo many variables, that two trucks could have they exact same stuff but one ends up having to trim and one just barely clears, its that ridiclous LOL.

 

haint it, im sure on stock wheels in 17's or 16's youd rubb and have to have wheels spacers but with after market wheels they are off sets back spacing, all kinds variations

 

ok, ready to order lift, SHOULD i or NOT get the the axle shims for rear and the carrier bearing drop kit?....seen posts where guys got them, vibrated worse so they took off, some say it helps some say it dont...any insight to this?,

 

just ordered!!
