Lift and Tire Central (pics)... Post 'em Up!

255/85/16

Guys i'm failing on searches but whats the most minimal about of lift i can do to run 255/85/16 tires? My goal here is essentially just extra ground clearance for getting in the woods and getting back to camp/fish spots. Does anyone have photos of this tire combo and something small like a spacer lift?

Thanks!
 
Where did you manage to fnd a set? Just shopping around CL? I have a coworker with a sequoia that has the bbs wheels and she will not part with them because shes going to sell the truck soon. I guess I'll be owning a new sequoia soon...

I bought them new from Conicelli Toyota parts. www.partznet.com I bought them 4 years ago. When I bought them I'd heard online that BBS went bankrupt so I have no idea if they're still around or available. Hope that helps.
 
Still on the fence wth spacers. Probably .85 though. I don't know if at 1.75 with taco coils would be to much up front with stock components. Or if 1.75 setting is needed to compensate for the rear spacers..

youre probably good with 265/70/17 tire size then, it'll fill the wheel wells nicely with very minimal rubbing
 
1. Toytec Boss 3" lift
2. Fierce Attitude MT 285/70R17
3. Love the results, now I'm ready to get it off road and see how it performs.

I'm just curious what it would take to get my 2006 SR5 4wd v8 to run the 285/70/R17 Duratracs with great rubber in my old rig that will be scrapped or donated. I'm curious about cost options and if they will fit the stock wheel. I suppose the spare will be a problem with full time 4wd and doubt that size would fit under the rig.

I'm still new here and the search turns up all sorts of answers.

the first page of this should have just about all you need for what it will take to fit 33's

once you know what you need, your budget will dictate how you achieve it

Love the look of the new tires!! So much more aggressive and mean looking!
 
Installed the Daystar front only levelling spacer 1", netted exactly 2" in front lift.
Both front sides now sit at exactly 35.5", driver rear is 36", passenger rear 37". Skid clearance is 11.5" from flat surface to touching skid. Drives exactly like stock, smooth as butta!

'03 Limited V8
3" toytec Ultimate and 2.5 rear springs w/spidertracs in the front

So far just some minor trimming of bumper corners and I moved the liner a bit
I haven't had a chance to stuff the tires yet to see if I'll need to trim anymore, just give me some time. I sits a little high in the back, but I'll have it loaded down whenever I travel.
