Tire size with current setup

Hello all, new here. I have a 2013 that will soon have the toytec eibach 3/1 lift with JBA UCAs. I have the stock TRD OR wheels and plan on keeping them with no spacers. Currently debating between 285 75 18 and 295 70 18. I see many different threads on what needs to be done to fit either of these but it seems to be inconsistent. I expect to trim skid plate and remove front mud flaps but don't want to do anything else. Any advice or info from similar rigs would be appreciated!
Thanks!

 

Either of those tire sizes should work on stock wheels and your setup with minimal fuss. Trim wings off skid, remove front air flaps if you have them, may need to trim or remove mud flaps and you should be good to go.

There are tons of pics of similar trucks in the suspension and wheel and tire forums here. Use search in upper right and you can search specific items, like the size of tire to get lots of pics and info.

 

That is my hope, thanks for reply. Will do.

 

I've got a ~2" Eibach 2.0 level.

Just upped to 275/75/18 on the factory alloys.

No rubbing anywhere.

 

Good to know. I'd prefer a larger tire. Don't see too many 275/75 18s.

 

Yeah. I realize (after the fact) that my post was not terribly helpful, as both tires are in fact larger.

If you have specific tires in mind, you should be able to look at the actual dimensions (they vary quite a bit between the "same size"). I am running KO2's which I hear tend to run a bit larger.

Maybe the comparison of exterior dimensions will help.? I have a good bit of wiggle room left with my current 33's

 

It is inconsistent, and it should be. Alignment moves the wheel fore-aft. UCAs specs will also affect this, as well as the track width. Then there is wheel offset and width which can make a huge difference, but since you are using stock wheels, no worries there.

So... yes, if someone with the same UCAs, wheel spec, actual tire dimensions, and alignment specs made it work then you should have the same experience. Otherwise, it will be different. But those tire sizes with stock rims are pretty painless to fit, and you can dial fore-aft clearance with alignment.

BTW, pushing both the front bumper (with 5/8" nuts as spacers) and wheel liner (drill new holes) forward is a pretty easy way to get more forward clearance... if you need it.

 

Very true. Just depends on your specific setup. Leaning towards 285/75. I like the tall/skinny 35 look. I should be able to swing it. Much appreciated info on the front bumper and wheel liner!

 

Regarding forward clearance, it's easy than rear clearance, because the body mount is in the way on the rear. Moving the wheel forward also gives you more caster, which is usually never a bad thing. Just mentioning for general tire fitting, I doubt you will have issues with your setup.

You might be hitting the swaybar... did that come up in your research for people with 285/75r18?

 

I have seen that come up. Not everyone running that size on stock wheels reports it. Might be risky.

 

I like not having the swaybar, but I don't know how your Eibach shocks will behave. Thin wheel spacers would be another option, if needed... found these in 8mm to 12mm thickness: https://store.gaugemagazine.com/5x150-flat-wheel-spacers/?msclkid=291a65a17eb71ae2a2b10779adf8478b

 

I ran the 285/75 on my tundra, looked great and I always liked that the tire was a little skinnier. Pushing the wheel liner fwd with a washer was key for me.
