Question about lift and tire sizes

Register to hide this ad
I think 275/70/17 is the biggest that fits without appreciable rubbing (and you can carry one in the spare tire carrier). Many use 285/70/17's with that lift but trimming is necessary and the stock UCA (upper control arm) will rub when the wheel is cut all the way. Good luck!

Seach the user "spaceman" and "promed" for some pics and discussion of 275's.
 
I would really like to fit a set of 285/7-/17's on. If there are lift out there that will allow me to do this without trimming?
 
Start here on suspension research. If you plan to off-road- go for a coil over setup.

Tire size discussion: And the rubbing they are talking about isn't fixed by trimming, it hitting hard stuff like frames and control arms. http://www.toyota120.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1225&highlight=285

With 285's you'll new wheels or spacers or new upper control arms to avoid rub. You also can't use a 285 in the spare tire location- so a tire rack will be needed too. Can't run different sized tires with full time 4x4 systems.
