    Im new to the forum but here it is. I have a 2012 tacoma texas edition 4x4 and im about to put a 3" leveling kit with a 2" diff drop and was wanting to put 285/70r17's on but seems like everyone is running spacers to clear the UCA's? I also looked into 275/70r17 and seems like thats the tire to go with if i dont want spacers. if anyone has some insight please feel free to comment and maybe some pictures?

    Thank you,

    Adam!

    I also installed Light Racing UCA's, which eliminates the need for spacers. You might need them anyway.

    Is it a daily driver? Can you lift and mount a 285 to determine if you then need a spacer or UCA?

    yea its my daily driver i thought about buying a couple used cheap tires that are 285's just to see if it will fit without rubbing the UCA after i put the leveling kit on
