    So I have 2008 dbl cab TRD OR. I am leveling the truck with the 2in leveling kit from rough country it says u can tuck a 32 in tire but I want to go to a 285/75r16 which is a 32.8. How much should I space my wheels so I can fit the 32.8 if I'm on factory 16in rims?

    Search on TW. This has been talked about in great detail. I think the wheel spacers are called spidertrax or something close to that. 285s will hit the upper control arm and you have to push the out. You will have to cut fenders and take off mud flaps to get it to fit on the street. You will have to really cut and possibly cab mount chop if you plan to off road. 285s will hurt your effective hp to the ground. I'm assuming that is a spacer lift and that will be a weak spot in your suspension. It all depends on what you plan to do with it. There is tons of information on here about this.

    Tire clearance help is perfectly fine.

    "HELP EMERGENCY URGENT" and then asking about tire clearance is not fine.

    You'll need wheel spacers to run the OEM wheels with 285s, and likely do some trimming to the fender wells. You may have issues with the cab mount as well which requires cutting the frame and welding, so be prepared mentally to modify things permanently to fit those tires.

    I agree with you but there are too many people that will jump on you for the littlest things. Or simply not respond to their questions. I was not trying to mislead or be a dick myself. It was a tip. I have found it to be the case and see it all the time. That's why I try to help despite the question being asked a thousand times before.
