    After some research on this & other forums....I found only one tundra owner with these tires on their tundra .....which is on a 2012 tundra with a 3/2.5 lift....from a forum member Will12tundra.....he says there was no rubbing on the rear of the front tire and slight rubbing on the front at the fender wheel well....he does say that he does not have his skid plate on...and that he had to remove the front mud flap ...the small mud flap in front of the front tire...he states he has a 3 inch block in the front....and old man emu 2.5 inch springs on the rear.....once he put wheel spacers on he had rubbing....the spacers equaled a +28 offset as opposed to a stock +60 offset with stock 18inch wheels....he did the front fender wheel well trim and re-drilled holes to move the fender well forward....closer to the front bumper......no body mount chop....so I wanted to confirm with other tundra owners and more experienced suspension installers....also during my research I found some owners needed to bend or cut a small portion of their skid plate...to avoid skid plate rubbing....I did visit a local suspension installer recommended from other members of this forum in the puget sound area...in Bonney Lake yesterday....so with my 2.5 front and rear icons shocks with resi and CDC....my 1.5 to 2 inch supreme suspension rear add a leaf...and SPC UCA’s ......and all my associated spacers and brake line extension brackets and abs relocation bracket....I think the Kenda Kleaver taller tires should fit...I do have a 1.5 inch rear block...and a 2.5 inch front block....that I am not planning on using....only if I need to....to ensure the tires fit....but from my research...I believe the blocks will not be needed....the front icons are adjustable from 00 stock height to a maximum of 3 inches....the more the icon spring is loaded the less shock travel....which equates to the higher the truck is lifted with the icon strut springs the less travel....I guess another option would be to set the icon front strut to 1/2 to 3/4 inches and add the 2.5 inch block on top of the icon strut....this would provide more shock travel....but I am sure other members of this forum would vote no....ha...lol...use the icon struts to lift the maximum height of 3 inches... I think that with out wheel spacers the tires would rub on the skid plate...also will12tundra is running with stock Upper Control Arms.....where I have the SPC UCA’s...just not installed yet....everything is stock....all my supplies for a successful and safe lift should be here within 3 to 7 days...so what do the members think...is my plan correct or do I need to consider other options....I will try and do the front wheel well and redrill technique today ....or at least look at it....ha...lol...here’s to all my Tundra forum brothers and sisters ....modiing and lifting and advising other junior members seeking advice from senior forum members.....Grateful in Puget Sound.....peace....
