    I got a 1996 tacoma and just installed the 2.5" rough country suspension lift and was wondering how the 32x11.50x15s would look. If any of you guys got the same or similar lift, I'd love to see some pictures of your taco. Appreciate the help!

    3" with 32-11.5s best combination imo.

    If your dishing out the money for a new set of tires then first id get rid of that shitty strut spacer lift and get something half decent.

    Edit: Im getting a habit of talking shit about spacer lifts ahah. Probably not what you wanted to hear after just putting it on but its true that they ride bad and prematurely wear out suspension components and overextend balljoints which costs you in the long run.

    32's are about as big as you can go without having to re-gear. I personally think you'd be happier with a nice set of 31" A/T's though.

    Is this true? My PreRunner had 31s (automatic) and my current 4x4 has 33s (manual) and the power feels about the same. Actually, I feel like my manual on 33s has more power.

    2.5 spacer lift (bought it like that, I'd personally go with suspension lift) on 285s which is basically 33s.

    Like your methods BTW. I actually know the owner of the company. I love his rims but I really dislike the guy. Kinda a jerk.

    huh, that sucks, a good product, some character and a bit of humility helps you go a long way

    Whoever thinks regearing with an already underpowered 4 banger isn't necessary doesn't know what they are missing.

    OP - My vote for tires is 33x10.5.
