Can this wheel/tire setup be done?

Hey guys, long time lurker and infrequent poster here. Currently running stock 16" wheels on my '03 SR5 with stock suspension.

Hoping to upgrade to bigger wheels and A/T tires, I ran across a set of Goodyear SilentArmor 275/65-18 that I can pick up for a very good price. Found some different options for 18" wheels, but the setup I like most is an 18x9 wheel with what I believe to be standard offset.

The questions I have are:

1) How much lift is needed to accommodate these tires?

2) Is there anything regarding offset that should be considered as a potential issue?

3) Does the 9" wide wheel present any issues on its own with other suspension components?

Thanks for any and all feedback including if this is completely off-track for any reason.

When you say "standard offset", what do you consider that "standard offset" to be? The tire that you are referring to is essentially, a 32" diameter tire which would work fine with a 3" spacer kit or coil lift. Those tires mounted on 18" OEM wheels would work fine with no trimming. That being said, I am pretty sure that wheels with an offset of say -12mm will work but you will probably have to do some minor trimming.

Hope that helps!
 
One other thing to consider before buying rims, if they're not from Toyota, make sure the hub bore is larger then 106mm. I haven't tried aftermarket rims yet, but have found that Toyota uses Hubcentric rims as opposed to Lugcentric rims. Basically, if you don't buy a hub bore adapter (i.e. 106mm to 1??mm) to match the rims, you may never have a balanced tire feel.

+1. I see this very often and the owner usually has no idea why their new tire setup is causing vibration issues. Buy hubcentric wheels when you can.

Thanks. Was not aware of this as an issue at all and in fact had never even heard these terms used, but it makes complete sense.
