3" lift with stock rims pics

Nice work man it looks awesome! I am getting 17x9's with a 0 offset and 5" of backspace I really hope this makes for minimal rubbing. The -12 offset I believe pushes the tire into the wheel well more. 12mm is around a half inch

 

Totally agree with you...that's about how much rubbing I had. You should be totally fine. Post some pics when you get it all installed!

 

Thanks for the info man. Yea I am not sure where I am at with the tires yet but the wheels ar eon back order till january and the lift is going in just before xmas. Will post some updates

 

Stock tires (265/70R16):




285/75R16

 

I am really torn up on this issue. Someone is offering me their Tundra 20" Enkei WT4 rims at just $400, but the trucks here look pretty good with 17" stockers too.

Decisions-Decisions..........I guess for me it comes down to cost.

For $1100 the 275/60/20 BFG rubber is more expensive.

The stock 17s need $200 spacers if I run the $900--285/70/17 BFG tires and that is still $1100

So the only difference is $400 for the wheels. If you guys had the chance to change to the 20s for $400, would you take it??

 

niceeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

You dont necessarily need spacers to run 285/70 17s. If the offset and backspacing are around 0mm and 5inches then you should have very minimal rub with a 3inch lift. if there is any rub at all it will require minor cutting of plastic. I personally would get the 17's unless you wanna roll on dubs thats up to u

 

i don't care what anyone says Tacomas are kick ass and if you don't like them you can eat dirt.

 

Holy thread revival batman!

 

All the trucks look great. I am definitely looking at doing a 3 inch lift and maybe an add a leaf in rear. I was curious as to how your trucks felt on the road and in the dirt. Is it a much harsher ride? Also how much added ground clearance and articulation did you guys get? They all look so sweet! I was thinking of getting either a tough country or REv tech. Any opinions on those would be great also. Any body have the 5100s and know how they differ or what added benefit they would have in ground clearance?

 

I don't have an X Runner and am really not into street trucks personally- So there is NO way I would ever put 20's on my truck. I don't feel like you can get enough tire on them to look right with these < full size trucks. But to each his own!

 

lets see some more pictures. I putting my lift next month and plan on getting the Wrangler M/T Kevlar 275/70/17 with my stockers.

 

im in this situation, i just got 285's on my truck and thier km2, i got a 3 in levening kit, and its rubbing my upper contol arms which i didnt know was gonna happen, i took it to the dude that did it and he said u got to have spacers so he orders an inch and a half spacers. Is this the wrong thing to do are you saying this is goin to mess up my truck?
