    Hi all. I need some helpful advice to get this done. If that advice turns out to be "don't do it" then so be it.
    '21 SR5 Sport with stock 20" Aluminum Rims, 275-55R20 tires.
    I want to:
    1- Add 1" lift.
    2- Replace the stock rims with Matte Black Rims and add ~1/2"-1" to the tire offset for a wider stance.
    3- Plan on replacing the stock tires with something a bit more off road friendly like the Wrangler All Terrain Adventure

    I'm at a loss with the stock offset and don't know which new rims would do this.
    Also, what is the best (read: best quality and ease of installation) lift kit to gain 1" in height.
    I can search the site all day and you guys have great ideas and mods but I have no idea where to start.......and where it will end.

    Any advice would be great. If you already did this to your Tundra, even better.....

    Too many, but not enough....
    So the stock offset of all wheels, except the Rock warrior wheels, are +60. Most aftermarket wheels are +25mm and 18", which is considered the sweet spot for the tundra. As far as one inch lift, there are many ways to do it. Why not go 2" which would cost you the same and still not have negative impact on alignment, excessive wear, etc. But your choice.

    You can get a spacer from Coachbuilder for the top of your existing coilover and a block in the back, that would be the absolute cheapest way. Or you could get some 5100's that have 3 setting options. It would mostly just depend on how much you want to spend and if you care about improving ride along with the lift.

    Change to +25 offset would be a difference of 35mm (1.38") which I could live with. I could add flares....
    I would not be opposed to 2" as long as it would not affect the alignment, wear etc.....5100's you say, I will investigate.
    I like the look of the 20's but could step down to 18" rims. How would that affect anything else?

    Going from 20 to 18 inch rims will get you more sidewall on a tire that is the overall the same diameter. this would help with ride, and offroading when/if you air down. Typically, smaller diameter tires would be cheaper as well, with all else being equal.

    I have a 2 inch lift up front, using Eibach coilovers, which are fully adjustable while on the truck. I love them. 5100's are cheaper but are not as easily adjustible, would have to remove the strut to adjust the height.
