    Hello from Phoenix,Az. Im a very proud owner of 2012 Toyota Tundra 4x4 SR5 Crew Max. I'm not familiar with them but I know my brother who passed away really loved this truck and took very good care of it... I received it with only 32k miles on it. So I'm here to learn as much as I can about this truck. I don't ever plan on getting rid of this truck for sentimental reasons. I will say it is a joy to drive and a step up from my 2 wheeled dodge. Only problem I have is he has a 3" zone suspension lift with aftermarket wheels no sure of offset and running 325/65R18 BFG's. and it rubs. For me that's annoying. So I need to read and learn what size tires people are running with this setup.

    Welcome! I would never get rid of it either. You can't place a price on sentimental value.

    Welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear about the lost of your Brother! That's horrible news.


    As for your rubbing issue, where is it rubbing? I can assume the front liner and maybe the cab mount. Also, do you have the front mud flap still mounted?

    Yes it looks like the front mud flap and rear flap it has cut into them pretty good. Rubbing probably isn't as bad as it was since tires don't have the tread they used to. Really do need to be replaced soon.

    Well, that's where I'd start ... remove the front mud flaps and see if you still have the rubbing issue.

    Remove the m flats. Still rubs...Check back here. You may want to bookmark ToyTec and Wheeler's Off Road. 2 great places/people to deal with.

    A little of this and a little of that.
    Welcome from Las Vegas!! Sorry to hear of your brother.....that's terrible.

    As for tires, if you have a 3" lift in the front with a 1" lift in the rear you should be able to fit 35's on there without any rubbing. 35x12.50 would be the tire size not forgetting the wheel sizing as well. There are some great posts of wheels & tires & lifts, what works with what. Just search wheels and lifts and you'll come across it. Looking forward to seeing the new shoes you get for her!

    Welcome from TN!

    Condolences about your brother, may he Rest In Peace.

    As for rubbing, like others have said, may just need to do a mud flap removal, trim skid plate and CMC depending on where it's rubbing. Another thing you could do is get a thinner tire like a 295 or 305 with same height. Could cure your rub
