Lift to fit 35 x 12 wide rims/tires

Hi all,

Im looking at 20x12 rims with a -44mm offset and i was told that anything over 9 wide wasnt recommended due to fitment issues. I want to run 35s because the rims are so big. So im here to ask two questions.

• How much lift do I need to make this work?
• Will I be able to make a U-turn with this set up?(if not its okay as long as my truck looks sexy)

I will comb through some other threads to see if anyone asked the same question. Thanks all.

 

A lot of information on 35's in this thread. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2nd-gen-4x4-35s-3-lift-w-o-body-lift.285871/

 

Do you have a 2wd or 4x4?

 

2WD. I work and live on a farm. Dont necissairly need the 35s but more traction 4sure. Should have gotten the 4x4 now that im out here.

 

In this case 2wd is a good thing. Checkout @SpruceTaco truck. He is running 35s.

 

Oh boy he's going to catch shit here...

 

Sounds like you're going to want to do a drop bracket lift or a spindle lift since you're a 2wd

 

Thanks. If im going to spend the money on rims and tires i want to fit 35s. 33s are an inch bigger than i have now

 

You can do a 3" lift but it requires a lot of work

 

Would it be easier if i went bigger than 3 inches?

 

Spindle for sure!

 

Yes most definitely. I'm running 35's on a ~3" lift but requires a lot of cutting and chopping

 

I would do a spindle lift. I think @sgtnewundies would be a good guy to ask! -44 is massive iffset so you'll need to trim the cab mount and a bit of the fender. Otherwise go nuts. I have a 4x4 and 35s and had 1.25" spacers on and had rubbing. Took them off and problems went away for the most part. I'm not gonna tell you how to build your truck but you may want new rims, or get handy with a grinder!

 

Go with 6-7" of lift. It will look best with the 35s.

 

Just curious why you are wanting a 12" wide wheel.. If you go with a 10" wide wheel it will still give you a nice deep lip and won't stretch the tire as much to give a better ride.

 

Thats a good question. I found them for s good price with tires but im going to look at the 10 wides too. I just like deep lip.

 

I like a wheel with a nice lip as well and have always stuck with a 10" wide w a -24 offset. If you decide to go with a spindle lift you have to remember the spindles push you wheels out a good 3/4 of an inch.

 

Good to know i was unaware of this.

 

a 20x12 wheel, sounds like you need a lift to Hawaii

 

Work on a farm but you're running 20's...

More power too you I guess. Around here you'd wreck 20's quick on a farm.
