fitting 33s on my tundra

I am currently running 265/70/17 on my tundra with a 2 inch leveling kit (Bought the truck like that) but I want to put on a bigger tire, possibly 33s but I am new to everything and not sure how much I would have to lift the truck. Any advice?

Edit: Whats the biggest tire I can fit without having to trim?

 

Oh boy

If you can answer some questions we can help you better.

What is the level kit? Spacers on the front shocks? Bilstein 5100 shocks? Coilovers and upper arms?

What wheels are you on? What is the backspacing of those wheels and how wide are they?

 

With stock wheels the trouble is they have deep backspacing. If you want to run 285s you will need wheel adapters to space them out 1.25"

You could look into 265/70/17 (almost 33) or 255/80/17 (skinny 33) tires. That way you can avoid wheel adapters and you'll not have much rubbing issues to address. You may have to trim slightly on the bottom corner of the bumper or trim the mud flap.

 

-12et on the wheels is the magic number for no rub with 285s

 

stock or aftermarket wheels?

 

Aftermarket for me. Not sure if toyota made a factory wheel with a -12et

 

I prefer checking backspace over offset. Checking backspace is more constant (doesn't vary by width) and rubbing on the back side of the wheel is a show stopper, so maybe more important.

That said, you're right, -12 works well for 8" or 9" wheel width for sure and anything wider than 9" doesn't belong on these trucks. If you go skinnier than 8" (who would do that) then you're in bad territory.
