    Recently got 275/70/17 K02s on my 2011 tacoma stock 17" wheels. I have a 2" spacer lift in the front and 1" in the rear. I have slight rubbing on the UCA at full lock. Upon research, I suspected this would happen so now I'm wondering.. will a 0 or -12 offset wheel solve this problem? Anyone else have experience with this exact setup? Appreciate the help!

    Not sure which stock wheels you have but many OEM wheels have a positive offset. Going to 0 or negative will likely bring the tire away from the UCA but will create rubbing problems near the cab mount and inner fenders. Zero offset might be your sweet spot to solve the existing problem but not create a new one.

    TRD Sport stock rims so I believe +30mm offset currently. I was thinking 0mm would be the sweet spot too.

    it’s gotta be moved farther out to clear
    How you wanna do that’s up to you
    Whether wheels or spacers. Spacers are cheaper.
    I’m guessing you want to keep the current tires.

    bora has more sizes than SpiderTrax. Costs more. I went with SpiderTrax 1.25 which is the size they offer. To try and stop rubbing my frame.

    which in hindsight may not have been smart because I heard it’s a trade off and better to rub the frame over anything else.
    The previous frame rub didn’t compromise structural integrity it just kept a shiny patch of bare metal.

    Thanks for the notes. Ideally I want to avoid spacers. So, it's looking like wheels will be the route in order to keep the tires. 0mm I think will do it as I don't want a super aggressive stance or too much poke. Just hope it is enough to clear the uca. Don't mind trimming if I really have to..
