    REPLACE ORIGINAL TIRES WITH 35"/12.5/R18LT TIRES
    I own a 2021 Tundra SR5 4x4 4DR 78" bed truck. I am interested in getting a 6' Lift Kit installed w/ struts front & back. Can I still use my stock tires P255/70/R18 even after the lift kit installed.
    The wheel size is 18X8.

    Check with your lift manufacturer. They will often list what is needed to run the suspension such as wheel offset, tire size, if UCA needs to be swapped, etc.

    What lift kit? Check the manufacture page and most will say not so use with stock rims as the backspacing will hit the spindle

    You'll probably need wheel spacers so the tie rod doesnt hit the wheel. I have 1.25" spacers with the stock steel wheels on my truck with a 6" fabtech kit.
