Dreaded tire size post (I've searched until my brain hurt. A little help?)

I trimmed the mudflap, removed the front spats, and trimmed/pushed the liner forward by 1 inch. Absolutely no rubbing.
Here is my trimming thread:
Trimming front bumper liner and mudflaps | Toyota Tundra Forum (tundras.com)

The caster numbers are 2.2 on the left and 2.4 on the right. I know those are kinda low, but for my truck, it centered the tire in the wheel well.

Here is how much clearance that is left at full lock:
About 1/2 inch to the bumper liner:


About 1 inch to the body mount:


If I went with 35's or 295/65/20's, I would have to install bumper spacers to gain some more clearance at the liner. However, I think there is still enough room at the body mount.

 

awesome. Thank you for the info and pictures. That helps a ton. I'm currently waiting to hear back from discount tire on their wheel inventory... Apparently covid makes wheels hard to come by

 

Just a tip for the OP on tire sizes. Not all tires in a size are true to that size. I know that Falken Wildpeaks in 275/70R18 run larger than the same size Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I bought the same wheels and tires size as another member because he only had to remove his splash guards/air dams in front of his front wheels and had no other rubbing. Well, my truck rubs the mud flaps up front while reverse and about 75% turn, or if I hit a good bump/hole/gutter while turning. Had me puzzled until I looked up the two tires on either discount tire or tire rack (can't remember which) and the Nittos are 33.19" while the Falkens are 33.43". That whole whopping quarter inch was enough to cause me to have rubbing when the other guy didn't.

 

Good to know. Thank you. I'm considering the Falken wildpeak and cooper discoverer XLT in 285/75r17

I'll have to look them up and look at sizes. I know the cooper is about 8lbs lighter

 

In the side profile picture, there is a large hollow gap between the front of the tire and the rear of the front bumper. Is this a 2wd truck with no skid plate? Am I missing something here? That large void may be making the tire look much smaller because there is so much contrast.

 

Here's the spot I'm referring to.

 

Keep an eye on wear i also had the factory setting and tires wore un evenly

 

That first pic has some rub marks was this before adjustments?

 

I was also wondering why the front was up so high compared to my 3 inch lift.. its closer to 5 with the measurements that were given.

 

yes, the tire rubbed a little bit.

actually, the issue was with the alignment. the shop did not tighten down the cam bolts enough and the lower control arm was shifting forward and back. that threw the tire into the liner when traveling in reverse.

 

285/75-18 on +18mm wheels. Toyo AT3's.

 

Thanks for the heads up…my 33s ran great for 20k miles with 11/16 tread remaining all around when I switched out…this was on my bilstein setup, but will definitely keep an eye on the 35s with the new wheels & suspension.

there’s a pretty decent range of what’s considered in factory spec. Mine is currently set at…
left side: .5* Camber; 2.4* Caster; .08* Toe;
right side .3* Camber; 2.3* Caster; .09* Toe;
.18* Total Toe
.00* Steer Ahead

 

I learned a lot reading this thread. Appreciate the discussion.

Aaaand now I have to research these camber settings y’all are talking about.

 

I have the skid plate off currently. I have 4 mounting screws for the skid plate, but toytec only sent hardware for 3 spacers

 

How do you like the toyos? I'm between those, cooper XLT, and falkens. The toyo are the only ones offered in a C rating (others E rated)

 

It's 3" of lift right on the money (measured before and after). It must be that skid plate missing making it look higher? I also have the front swaybar off because I had hell getting it back on after installing the lift lol considering a drop bracket or trying again in a couple of days

 

Could be, lot of daylight with the skid plate off.

 

Nice ride! Are those the black Pro lights or the smoked chrome? Cant decide what to put on my white limited
