    Brand new rookie to Tundras. I bought a 2007 Tundra SR5 2wd and want to put 295/70R18's on it without a lift if possible I did order a rough country 1.75 in level kit to remove the frontend rake. Not really interested in lift just want the bigger tires and no rubbing. Any help is greatly appreciated on this.

    Ive seen folks run 295/70-18 on a stock unlifted truck. Search, there are some pictures here on Tundras of that truck. Maybe search 295/70-18 and stock in upper right. It was pretty stuffed looking but worked. Heck I have seen people run 35s on unlifted Tundras with the right wheels/offset and some clearance of plastics and a good alignment.

    285/70-18 is only slightly smaller tire than 295s and works fine on stock truck with stock offset wheels. Few tires choices in that size however. Many run 275/70-18, fits stock and still looks nice when lifted a couple inches.

    295s may take some fitting unlifted, probably need to lose mudflaps and front airflaps, trim the wings off the skid plate. It can work however and there is enough room with stock wheels and that size for the UCA, about a fingers width clearance.

    Since you want larger tires and no effort, no rub, I suggest you run 275/70 or 285/70, or just wait until you install the level kit and run the 295s, those will still need some fitting even lifted- same as what I mentioned above.
