    I am considering wheel spacers but would prefer offset rims as a safer option.
    I have fox 2.5 shocks (standard TRD Pro suspension) and a 3rd party front bumper with winch.
    Plenty of room fo bigger tires . Would like to also get 37” or 40” if possible. Currently running 34”. What have others done?

    i don't know which best replicates 2" wheel spacers but in general most 2.5 gens (myself included) stick with around +20 offset which takes the tire roughly an inch outside the wheel-well.

    2" more poke is pretty aggressive. Will create some clearance issues in the wheel wells. Rubbing the cab mount, front fender liner, maybe even frame / sway bar. Especially with a taller tire. 2" is approx. 50mm, so take what you have and add 50mm of offset and that should be close.

    Thanks you guys for all the info. I am not sure how to go about finding out my true limits because it involves buying a rim and/or tire to know for sure. Can be an expensive research project. What are my best options for the next step? Go to a tire dealer or Custom build shop? TIA

    I answered in my post that if you want 2” more poke with the same size wheel, you need about 50mm less offset. So in the case of factory wheels which are around +50mm offset you wanna move towards zero offset wheels. 2” is approx 50mm, so it’s easy math. What isn’t in your post is which tire size you’re getting or which wheel size you’re getting other than wanting 37 or 40” tires. 3-6” taller tire with 2” more poke is gonna take a lot of lift and a lot of clearancing modifications to fit. Not to mention if you plan to go 12.5” or wider with those tires which is likely. The cost of fitting 40s on these trucks is significant to be done right, but you mention the wheel shopping around as being expensive. Sounds like cost is definitely a factor. Need to do more research into fitting 40s first.

    Nothing cheap about throwing fo-deez on a Tundra. 37s are generally considered to be the max without a lot of work and expense.

    Especially if you plan to wheel it at all! Ker-snappp.
