need opinions

i have 02 toyota tacoma prerunner 2wd and i want to lift 2.5 inches and i need to know what size the wheels and tires need to be so i can complete this project
thanks in advance

 

33x12.50/15 if you wanna go balls to the wall.
285/75/16 if you wanna trim a little , pinch weld mod etc
265/75/16 if you want absolutely no rubbing and a sexy looking tire size
All of these will be ran on a 16x8 wheel
What are you looking for ? An off road upgrade? Or just a good looking truck. Do you off-road a lot ? Or mainly highway miles

 

Need to be? Or max can be?

Describing how you use the truck, how you are doing the lift and what your budget is would be helpful for folks to know.

Have you tried searching this forum, or the wheels and tires forum? I mean the question does get asked often......

 

I just want my truck to look more agressive. This is my Ride to work everyday so it's a highway mileage and my bugget is about 2,000
This is my ride

 

just go with a 265/75r16 all terrain, I think those wheels might be 15s tho so 265/75r15 thats about a 31.5 inch tire. Then you don't have to trim much, don't lose too much mpg, and it'll look more aggressive. Maybe also paint the wheels a darker color? light colored trucks go great with dark colored wheels. What lift do you want?

 

235/85/16

 

talk about a pizza cutter lol

 

Someone of us live in real world with our 4cyl that like to keep up with a prius

@DJB1

 

I drive a 4 cylinder with 285s and I can keep up

 

Your truck has special balls

My truck is a pussy. I have 225/70/16 on mine and now "upsizing" to 235. No more room in my pussy

 

lol, if its a manual just bang through the gears , but if its an auto...

 

Mine is a 4 door thus it's a gimpomatic autotragic and the only thing it bangs is itself, when it can't even get out of its own way on the highway

Prius , leaf , and 18 wheelers point and laugh when i can't accelerate enough to keep up with them

Yaris owner pointed and laughed as if I was sporting a 1inch penis at his face


I am tempted to put TRd and v6 stickers in my truck so I get some street cred

 

well i will decide for this option
2.5 level kit rough country
20-9 RDR black and silver wheels
275/55/20 radar a/t tires
what do you guys think about this project ?

 

I have a 2.7l 4 banger with 33x12.50s and steel wheels. But mines a manual and has the 4.30 gearing from the factory so I accelerate pretty decently.

 

Cheap parts = weak results. But you might think it looks stellar for photo shoots in front of abandoned warehouses.......

It's a nice looking truck like it is. And for your description of how you use it, it's good as it sits.

But it's your truck, your choice.

 

Agreed. I did the cheap 5100s set at 2.5 with an aal but I'm still pretty impressed with the ride compared to my bros skyjacker and rc setup and I spent pretty much the same amount as him but he gets beat up going over little pebbles.

 

Tranny make all the difference

 

What do you get for MPGs with the 33s? I just lifted my 4banger and looking for something beefier than the stock 265/70r16, but don't want to completely kill my fuel economy. Will probably do 285/75r16 so I don't have to buy new wheels too.. just not sure what to expect. I still get an average of 21mpg with the lift and stock wheels.

 

I've never really calculated my mpg but it's definitely worse than stock. But it seems like its decent if I don't hit the gas too much and just take it easy. But if I have to go over a mountain like I did the other day, it kills my gas

 

Your ride is going to suffer from large wheels and low profile tires. I'd just keep your wheels and get some awesome tires in 265/75/15 and decent shocks (bilstein 5100's) with an add a leaf in the back. You might end up somewhere around $2k with that.
