OK guys heres the planned setup for this week. I'm gonna be installing the toytec 3" OME lift on my taco along with 285/75/16 tires on 16x8 wheels. I'm gonna be doing it all at once so i wanted to know if I will have any rubbing issues with Type B backspacing from wheelers. I have an 06 access cab sport. Is anyone running this same setup with no rubbing. If so let me know otherwise will I need to get spacers?

you'll be fine. you may rub just a tad bit, but nothing to worry about.:waytogo:

Wrong.

Less backspacing means you avoid rubbing on the UCA but you get more rubbing on the fenders which means more trimming.

4" of backspacing on the Type B wheels correct?

That means a lot of trimming and maybe even some cutting on the cab mount depending on the brand of 285s you decide to buy.

BTW: You will always rub with 285s and a 3" lift. No matter what.

Not necessarily. :waytogo:

If you would read carefully, we are not talking about the older Tacomas.

So what do you guys suggest. The tires are yoko geolander at's. Are we talking rubbing at full lock or what? Would spacers help or am i just gonna have to trim. Your guys help is appreciated this is my first truck and first time customizing any vehicle of mine. Thanks again.

Do you offroad at all?

On street minimal rubbing is not really an issue, maybe at lock.

 

[rmcclean12]

I dont offroad but maybe a few times a year. I just camp and go on trails but nothing too serious. I just want to know what to expect with clearance issues.

I've seen 285/70R17 BFG M/Ts on stock 17" wheels using a 1/4 inch wheel spacer with minimal rubbing issues.

285/75/16's will rub on 2005+ tacoma with 3" suspension lift. i have pro-comp 16" 1079's with 4" bs, nitto grappler at's. i went with bushwacker pocket flares. had lots of rubbing issues. luckily the flares are easily manipulated with a heat gun, so i was able to massage the rubbing areas. however, the tires still hit the frame at the front body mount. a 4.5" bs rim probably will clear that area. one has to also take into account the upper a-arm clearance. i went with all-pro uniball UCA's so i got some clearance there too.

if you're gonna offroad then i strongly suggest getting 1-2" body lift pucks along with your 3" suspension lift.

2005 Tacoma with 3" lift and min rub on black inner fenderwell with 285/75R16 Yokohama Geolander M/T+ tires on 16X8 rimes with 4.5" backspacing. No changing out of any suspension part.

body lift + off roading = :badidea:
