    Hello all,
    I am very new to truck modifications and would appreciate some advice on tires. I have a 2015 Tundra with a 2.5 inch level on the front only. I would like to keep my 18 inch stock alloy wheels and get the Falken Wildpeaks installed, but am looking to see what all I can do about size/offset. I like the look of the tire sticking out of the fender, and would like to get taller as well. So I was looking at 295/70's or even 285/75's, but can/should I add spacers? What would that do to the ride? Any advice is greatly appreciated. I have browsed many of the threads here, but again am horrible at translating them to what I specifically have.

    I would say getvthe tires you want and if you need spacers after then get them to complete the look. Spacers shouldn’t affect your ride. Go with bora or spider trax. You want a hubcentric spacer. I have 33” tires and 1.25” spacers and they run flush with the wheel well. 275/70r18

    Will 285/75’s fit? They have the height I like and maybe will add a spacer too

    They'll fit but you're going to want spacers. 1.25" on stock wheels looks very nice. I run 295/70s with a +25 offset, I had manage a little rubbing on the front plastic but the size looks great on the truck
