Is a lift kit mandatory?

I'm considering these rims for a 2012 Tacoma.



Is a lift mandatory or is it dependent on the size of rim?

Here's the sizing on the rim:

• Size: 18x9
• Offset: -12mm
• Backspacing: 4.52"
• Bolt Pattern: 6-139
• Rec. Tire Size: 255/60-18
• Weight: 32.6lbs.
• Finish: Black Painted
• Construction: 1 Pc.
• Manufactured in China

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks

No, would fit fine with no lift and 265/65/18 Tires

I would go with 5" BS if they offer it. They would tuck the wheel inside the wheel housing another 1/2" and less crap getting slung at your paint. I just did a Pro Comp 3" lift and 18x9's with 5" BS with 285-65-18 and it looks and fits perfect!! Truck is a 2012 model also.
