Decided on my set-up

I think after constantly looking over pics and reading info on this great site I have finally decided on my set-up. I will be running the Bilstein leveling 5100 shocks on front and rear with 17 x 9 chrome 955 Moto Metals wrapped with MTZ 285/70/17's. The 6 inch kits look real good on the Tacoma, but its just not practical for me and my daily driver. I looked at the machined and the chrome 955's and I think the chrome will look better on my Speeedway Blue Taco. If you guys have any input would love to hear it. Man there are some sweet A$$ rides on this site, makes me even more proud to have a Tacoma. I don't miss the Tundra at all, especially with all the aftermarket goodies for the Taco. That's one thing I really didn't like about my Tundra is that you were so limited as to aftermarket options. Now just have to start ordering parts, LOL.

 

Sounds good. Check this out for referencing when you trim:

congrats man.

SWB/ black rims always works -my .02

 

OK I understand the trimming with a 285/75/17 series tire, but will I still need to do it with a 285/70/17 series? If so i may just go with a 265/75/17 series tire.

 

Congrats man! Post pics sometime soon!

Yes, a 285/70/17 is theoretically the same size as the 285/75/16. It will require trimming.
