    I have no idea how your gonna make that size tire work. What made you buy that size tire?
    Can you return the tires?

    I also have a pre runner...I went with 17x8.5 wheels along with 265/65/17 geolander ats
    The stance is aggressive but not overly crazy
    Im getting tons of compliments. I had 18's but they were just too heavy and killed my mpg's

    That looks awesome! I got the tire for a deal I couldn't pass up and figure even with buying new wheels I would still come out ahead based on the deal I got on the set of tires. I really need to find a way to make this work.

    That tire size is:
    265/70R18 = 32.6X10.43R18

    The largest stock tires are
    265/65R17 = 30.6X10.43R17

    The largest tires that fit with no rubbing are
    265/70R17 = 31.6X10.43R17

    What most people run with a 2" lift
    285/70R17 = 32.7X11.22R17

    Looks like you will need to buy a lift, might need to do some trimming, might need an alignment to bring the wheel forward, etc.

    I would take those tires back or you are going to spend more money trying to make them fit your truck. Just go to your local Discount Tire and buy rims and tires that actually fit your truck.

    Return them or sell on eBay...
    Thanks for the comment
    The +14 offset with the 17x8.5 wheels is perfect for the stock pre runner
    I actually gained a few mm of inner clearence
    And the Geolander ATS tires...WoW! What a great all around tire
    Looks great rides smooth
