Minimizing drivability impact of Lift and Larger Tires

I am thinking about lifting my truck 1 or 2 inches, along with increasing the tires an inch (from 30.5 to 31.6) or inch and a half (32.1). After reading about issues that some people have with handling, vibrations, etc... I have been trying to understand how tire size, wheel offset, and suspension geometry after the lift all work together to make a truck that drives well instead of poorly.

- Taller tires alone (on the stock rims) will change the scrub radius a small amount. [ can been seen here... ]

- Taller tires on non stock rims can change the scrub radius a little or a lot depending on the offset of the wheels and how much taller the tires are.

- Does the lift (strut/spring - not spacer) have an impact on scrub radius as well? If not, is that because you can use the caster and camber settings to set the Steering Axis Inclination back to where it was, or are there changes that you can't compensate for (even with new upper control arms)?

For a particular tire size I'm trying to figure out how to figure out what combination of wheels (width and offset), and alignment settings will result in the best drivability.

Stock 2017 Tacoma Limited 4x4:

• 265/60-R18 on 18x7.5 offset 18

Proposed setup 1:

• 1" lift using Eibach coilovers
• 265/65-R18 (or 265/70-R17) tires

Proposed setup 2:

• 2" lift using Eibach coilovers or Eibach adjustable strut
• 1.5" Add a Leaf
• 275/65-R18 (or 275/70-R17) tires

For both of the potential setups I'd like to figure out the best wheel width/offset combination, and if that isn't available, how close can I get with wheels that are available and fit on the truck. From there, what changes need to be made to the stock alignment settings (caster/camber) to correct any differences from the wheels available and the "ideal wheel" for the best driveability.

Who understands the relationship between all of these variables and how to compute them?
