    What did you have to do to get those to fit?

    if I recall, the general consensus is they "fit", as in, they're fine as long as you don't turn or hit any bumps. i.e. they rub the shit out of everything, and will eat the hell out of the tires and your plastics at every pothole or speed bump. Be prepared to replace tires unless you drive everywhere without turning.

    But that member hasn't registered a login here since 2023, so they may not say. What I can tell you is, I don't believe there's a person in all my years here on this forum that's been able to cleanly tuck 35s without damage to truck and tires unless they cut into the firewall.

    If you really want to run 35s like that, you really need to read the "Suspension, wheel and tires..." section of this thread so you understand what you're up against: https://www.tundras.com/threads/so-you-wanna-buy-just-bought-a-1st-gen-tundra-eh.115928/

    That community-managed thread essentially contains a decade of collective 1st Gen Tundra experience in the first two replies. It is there to help newbies avoid really stupid mistakes, because the rest of us already did it for you, to save you the $$ and pain.

    tl;dr - It's no small feat to run 35s, and there are several substantial consequences which aren't liited to rubbing/damage if you really feel like you need 35s for some reason.

    I have 295/75r16
    They're basically a 33.5"x11.5" tire.


    I need to turn the wheels and torque the inner rear most LBJ bolt on each side to 90ft lbs, get a shorter 19mm 1/2" drive socket (and possibly a shorter torque wrench) to torque the center steering rack bolt to 122ft lbs, find a second set of hands to torque the two rear cam bolts to 96ft lbs, and adjust the toe. I'be been doing what I can when I can. But not having a helper is making go it slow. Still making strides. Hoping to take the truck to Juan at Toy Lex for the fine adjustments this week.
    I'll bring two 35" tires mounted on wheels on the tenth, we can play with if we have time, after doing your and my springs. But I don't plan to do the body lift until sometime after Jambo.
