    listen, before anyone puts me on the cross... I used the search engine. I'm sorry but I can't find what I'm looking for :(

    Alright so. I have 14 SR5 with a 3" lift, 5100s. I want to run the stock wheels, 16". I'm nervous about the tire height. Do you guys know what the largest tire I can run on a 3" lift with stock wheels? *runs and hides in the corner covering face with blanket*

    Oh also, would like to run KO2s.

    I really really really appreciate everyone's kind words, help and hospitality.

    I'm running 255/85/16 on stock wheels with spacers on my 07. Without spacers, I rubbed on the control arms enough that it would have eventually caused damage to the tires. With spacers, I rub a little bit on the mud flaps and on the front bumper when turning. A little bit of trimming and bumper rub is mostly gone. Mudflap rub will wear itself clear.

    Mine lightly rubbed the UCA (not enough to worry me) and also the mud flap (again, lightly). Now I have LR UCAs and nothing rubs anywhere - and my tires measure 33.4" when new. They're probably close to 33" now.

    That is the best option in my opinion. Any bigger and you create other problems to solve.
