27x8.5x14 on 5 lug Taco

I just purchased a 1998 Tacoma Regular cab, 5 lug model. I’m planning on doing a mild lift (shackles in rear and spring spacers up front). The truck still had the original 14” wheels and hub caps, which I like and plan to keep on. Just wondering if anyone here has run this tire size before? I’m assuming I might need wheel spacers up front even with the lift. Thanks!

 

Welcome to TW! @Sperrunner @Das it mang can probably point you to some 5 lug resources

 

I went to 30x9.5 15s on mine, with a spindle lift and coil springs in the front, still stock rear but should be doing add a leaf this next week. It doesn’t rub too bad but just coil spacers might not give you enough depending on what you want

 

You should be able to clear 27s no problem

 

Appreciate the input guys. I just want it to sit slightly higher than stock, nothing crazy.

 

Can I piggyback here instead of opening a new thread on essentially the same topic?

I'm really close to pulling the trigger on a stone-stock 1998 2wd 2.4L 5-spd std cab 5-lug with ~130k mi. It's currently running some off-brand 195/75-14 highway touring tires on the stock steelies. Is there a chance the 27/8.5-14 Grabbers would fit with no rubbing without any lift or spacers at all?
I'm not planning any hard-core 4-wheeling, but my main use will be hauling the mountain bike to trails without gumming up the wife's fancy SUV, and I do sometimes take dirt, gravel and mud roads to get to the trails/parking/camping areas. Plus, I think it'll look worlds better with just a little more meat down there. Other uses will be small-truck stuff - hauling plywood/lumber, furniture, garden soil; crap weather when the convertible is no fun. That sort of thing.
Want to get some time with the truck before deciding on lift, 15's, or if I really want a 4x.
Your help is greatly appreciated! May be the deciding factor on choosing the vehicle.

 

Answered my own question.
America’s Tire installed the 27x8.5 Grabber A/Tx’s on my stock, 14x5 steelies this morning. No lift, no trimming, no rubbing, no problem. Looks and drives a million times better.
