    3" lift on 31's with bart d trucker wheels
    Hey guys I have a 2008 white 2.7L Tacoma. I recently bought 31x10.5r15 kumho tires and some Bart d trucker wheels. My lift is going to be 3”s from fat bob’s garage in Utah. I need spacers in order for the wheel to sit flush, if not I have to grind the caliper and I don’t want to grind to much. What size spacers would be best for my set up? We figured about a 19mm spacer to clear the caliper. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

    This is how far you have to space out 15s to clear the calipers on a 6 lug. Sell your 15s and buy 16s.

    This is what it may look like when it’s done, but we don’t have a good measurement for caliper size

    Would that be true for a 5 lug which is what mine is?

    I just assumed since you were lifting 3" and putting on off road tires, that you were 6 lug. 5 lug trucks are completely different. They probably have smaller brakes. Ask in the 5 lug forum. They will probably have the answers for you.
