    I'm looking at up sizing the tires, Wildpeak or similar. I have a 3/1 leveling kit on a sr5 2019. don't want to change the wheel, I kind of like the stock wheels. I wondering if anyone has a similar set-up and if trimming was needed.

    I've read a number of threads and am still having doubts.

    Thanks!

    You will have to remove front tiny flaps on bumper, but nothing else.

    These are 285/75r18 Wildpeaks on stock wheels. Bilstein 5100s on front at middle setting (1.9" lift). Only had to remove the front flaps and heat gun part of the rear wheel well plastic to bend back a half inch.

    That's good to know as those were removed already :) You wouldn't happen to know if spacers behind the wheels would hurt or help the clearance? I'm also think about then depending on the stance with the new rubber.

    Yup, remove the front little flap and they fit fine.

    On mine I had to remove the front mud flaps, reshape a few spots on the plastic wheelwell trim with a heat gun, and the tire rubbed the swaybar a little at full turn.

    What tires do you have? Could the make of the tires make a difference?

    285/75-18 Falken wildpeaks on stock wheels. Brand of tire could definitely make a difference, so could alignment. The minor rubbing on the swaybar I had wasn't a big deal. I think 285/75 is a great size for the tundra. Fills up the wheel well nicely and is easier to fit than a 35x12.5.

    Fantastic look! I'm on the fence between the 285/75s and the 295/70s. I'd rather not have to do a bunch of cutting, and I'll probably go with a relatively conservative tread, like a Wildpeak. I know the 285s are taller than the 295s, with I like, and the thinner usually means better MPGs. I'm a mall crawler.

    My setup:
    285/75/18 Toyo OC AT3
    OE TRD PRO BBS Wheels (+60mm)
    6112 @ 1.9" + (2) ¼" shims left, (1) right.
    1.5" in the rear.
    ½" shims added to front bumper.
    JBA UCAs w/ 3.9° L, 4.4° R caster.

    Same as most others, wrt adjustments to get the tires to fit. I removed the front flap, heat-gunned the rear and folded in the OE skid plate by about 1-1.5" each side. Roughly even with sway bars.

    No rubbing on the street, but I am getting some at higher levels of articulation offroad. Haven't figured out where yet. I think on the rear mudflap. Maybe getting a little rub in the rear? Haven't had much time to check.

    Edited to add some details I left out.

    Spacers gonna cause rub on the plastic guards on the front bumper, you can make it fit with some heat gun, I'm on 1.25" spacers with stock wheels and 285s to clear the reservoirs, and they rub at those guards.

    Stock wheels on 285/75/18r Falken AT3W's. Truck is on a 3" lift on the front and stock on the rear (too lazy to do the 1" block). Truck is stanced well, but I noticed a bit of positive camber (.9°) when the alignment got done. Everything is within Toyota's spec, but it is noticeable looking at it straight on. There is rubbing on full lock on on the driver side sway bar, considering spacing the wheels out by 5mm to prevent.

    I would recommend looking at Cooper XLT AT3's if you don't need the 3PMSF rating. Have them on another truck and they are quieter and lighter (59lbs vs 65lbs) than the Falken's, plus Cooper's tires are made in the USA vs China for the falkens if it matters to you. Can't go wrong with either but just my $0.2.
