I’m taking this video to my lift guy and having him copy and paste everything you did to yours !!! Absolutely love that look !! So 3 and 1/2 inch RC lift , rims with a negative 12 offset and 305 tires ! That truck looks like a ford raptor !! Love it
I agree, great video about tire offset and how to fit larger tires. Looking at your old trd 4 runner wheel set up and you answered my questions. Thank you!
I absolutely love the poke on these -25’s if only Fuel made the Covert D694 in a -25 🤦♂️ -12 is the most I can get. Hoping to find a wheel I like as much.
Im in the process of researching for lift and tires. Man, Im glad I happened on this video… its very informative. It seems all the wheels Im seeing are -12 offset. Why do they advertise these wheels gor a Tacoma?!
Glad it was helpful! I think they push the -12 because people like that “aggressive stance” look where the wheels poke out. Little do most people know that makes the tire rub like crazy. It’s a fine line between tire size, wheel offset, and rubbing if you’re not willing to cut the cab mount.
Please correct me if I’m wrong…but I could’ve swore I heard b4 that when running + offset rims, you have a greater chance of rubbing the UCA’s or even hitting the coilovers at articulation. Idk but I rather rub on the cab mount and fender liners/ bumper than those other components because as you stated…there are things you can do about it to fix the rub.
That is correct! OEM wheels or wheels with a really high positive offset +10 or more will definitely rub with bigger tires on the UCAs/coil overs. That’s why I said you don’t want to go too high on the positive offset, just enough to clear the cab mount without rubbing any other internal components! Usually 0-+4 is a good spot for clearing 285/70/17 tires with no rubbing and a 2in lift.
@@D_Cali_Life really the mor negative the offset the harder it’ll rub. Mine are -25 now and they’d rub like crazy without a CMC and some bumper trimming
Thanks for the video! I currently have 285/70/16 with 0 offset rims on a 1.5” leveling kit. I’m upgrading to a 2.5” suspension in the front which should solve the rubbing issue. Thanks again
Why didn't you run 315s? 305s fit easy on this setup with a 3in lift and the 4RUNNER trd pro wheels with no rubbing. Also did you need to re gear on the 305 tires???
Because my wheels are a -25 offset so 315 would rub compared to 305s. I have not regeared. But I would like to in the future. The truck needs it for sure.
@JordanMcKeithan I got the RC lift to love it. Can't beat it for the money. Wish you showed what you did in the Fender to fit the 34s. Not many videos besides people just doing a hack job or ripping it out. I'd like to keep the Fender lining don't want to have to cut it. I'm running the same setup now just been rubbing. Did the CMC but need to do something with the pinch weld area is where I rub.
@@BlueSTI if you check out my Instagram @slvr.taco you can see I have a reel and a story highlighting in more depth what I did to the fender flares to make them fit.

Do you think I’ll have rub issues. The wheel I want comes in 0 offset, +18, or -12. Obviously 0 would be it. What’s your thoughts on rubbing? Great video!
You’ll probably be alright might have slight rub at full lock with 285 but it might be safe. +12 is too positive, you may risk rubbing on internal components like your upper control arms. -12 would probably rub if the cab mount for sure.
@@JordanMcKeithan I really appreciate your reply. I knew 0 offset was the one. I’ve seen many guys with a 2/1 lift run 285’s with minimal rub. I was also going to do 8.5 width versus 9. Thanks again. Very informative!
Much mahalo's for the clarification for bigger tires. Question? I do have 2017 tacoma sports 2wd. Is 305/70r17 ok? My truck is lifted fox with maxtrac spindle lift 6.5 my wheels is xd -10.
Did you need the full 3.5” and 2”? I have the SPC, CMC. 2020 TRD Pro which comes with 1” on front and then added 2” front 1.5” rear. Curious if I can manage the same set up with a viper cut
Hey bro. Just watched your video and I absolutely love it. I have a 2020 taco that looks pretty close to yours. I am planning to run 285/70r17 on it with the trd pro wheels like your old set up. My only question is did you rub on your upper control arm? I see you didn’t do any body mount chops or any trimming to not rub within the wheel well. But I’m concerned abt the control arm. Thanks for the very detailed video bro!
Great video thanks for the clarification on the wheel offsets. Looks like now I’m going to go with the 4 Runner TRD Pro wheels with the positive 4 offset with 285/70/17’s on the Tacoma TRD Off Road I’m ordering later this year after I lift it 3” thanks to your explanation.
currently running stock TRD rims with a +30mm offset, 285/70/17s with a 3.5in lift kit. IF I didn't have these 1.5in spacers in they would be a nightmare on the rubbing issue, currently they rub on the cab mount. With the 1.5in spacers I currently have a -8mm offset and it just so barely rubs on the cab mount while full weight truck and turning all the way left or right. Would getting a wheel with a negative offset such as in the range of -12 thru -20 fix my rubbing issue with the cab mount? I don't mind trimming the fender or plastic parts, what would be annoying is to do the CMC in general. I hope that running -12 thru -25mm offset wheels will fix this problem. Please let me know :)
Hello, would you think the Tacoma would rub with the TRD PRO wheels 285/70r17 and a TRD Lift kit from Toyota? Has anyone done this? Let me know if you have experience with rubbing or no rubbing at all! Thanks!
I put on 275 70 R 17 on my 22 Tacoma. The tire when I make tight turns rubs against the control arm. I was told if I put a one inch space around. It will rub against the wheel. Well, what can I do? Thank you.
Hi ,Questions I have my 2022 TRD pro I'm thinking to lift up with 3" spacer and thinking to put 285/70 or 75 whit the17" factory wheels You think that not rub Or what biggest tire I can go with?
Man I love the stance and look of this truck and its exactly how I want mine to look. I have the gen 3 2021 TRD OR. How is the ride quality for you? Stiff? Noisy? My truck is my one and only vehicle and I dont want to make it annoying to drive. Im a bit concerned about the tire size. MPG to me isnt a big deal, I care more about it being a good daily driver.
Thanks man, I appreciate that! Ride quality is a little more stiff that factory to be honest but I don’t mind it. It’s certainly not as rough as a puck strut spacer would be. The tires are a little loud on the highway but that’s nothing that music can’t cover up lol.
I'm about to go with a 3in front, 2in rear leveling kit with 285 70 R17 tires with a -25 offset for my wheels, you think that in itself would need trimming??
@@JordanMcKeithan Don't wanna take up too much of your time but I want to expend my options before doing cab mount chop. What's the chances, in your opinion, of a -12 offset also probably needing that cab mount chop and more
@@hybui123 -12 might be better but you’ll probably still need it man. Pretty much as soon as you start dipping into a negative offset situation, you almost have to do a chop to make it not rub. For example, previously I ran 285/70/17 on a 2.5 in lift with wheels at a +4 offset and had no rubbing issues and no chop. Then I added a 1.5 in wheel spacer (similar offset to -12) and immediately rubbing like crazy.
Great video .Very well said or explained. I do wanna hear your say on my 2019 tacoma trd off road. I have a 285 65 18 with zero offset . What lift size would you recommend . Thank you
Thanks man. It’s the Body Armor 4x4 Hiline Series Front Bumper. Places like tacomabeast and runnin4tacos have it for sale but I got it off Amazon! Was a little cheaper there at the time.
It's hard to say man. Usually the second you get into negative offset, you're going to have some rubbing going on. To give you perspective, before I had this setup I had 2.5 in bilstein 5100 lift with 285-70-17 tires and TRD Pro wheels. No rubbing with that setup. Then I tried 1.5 in wheel spacers for a more aggressive stance, immediately TONS of rubbing so I took them off. As you can see just adding the slightest amount of negative offset changes the articulation angle and causes rubbing problems. Better off just getting a chop done if you want to avoid the rubbing and have a wider stance.
For the same wheels with a -12 offset you think I can get away with running 305 or what do you think I can get away with? Got jba uppers and eibach stage 1
Awesome video and explains a lot! What are your thoughts on 18x9.5, -18 with 265/60/18 tires? CMC needed w a 2" lift? Or should I stick with 18x8.5, 0 offset?
From what I understand anytime you go with negative offset, it’ll likely rub without a cmc. So if you’re willing to do that, go for it, if not, maybe better to stick with the 0 offset.
@@JordanMcKeithan I have a rc spacer lift but I’m not going to put in on I don’t think it’s a good option but it came with blocks can I just use that ?
I am looking at 17x8.5mm -10mm wheels and was hoping to get 265/70R17 or down one to 265/65R17 you think I will have issues on a stock trd off road? Should I play it safe and get 16x8 0mm.
285/70/17 maybe. Without any cutting its going to be tough with any negative offset wheel unless you’re willing to deal with some mild rubbing. But I’d say 285/70/17 would be your best bet.
@@stay4theride gotcha. I understand that. Well the only thing I can compare it to would be my old 4 runner. I had a 3 in lift with 285/70/17 and a 17/9 -6 offset wheel. It rubbed a little on the plastic and slightly on the cab mount at full turn in reverse.
Maybe but my guess is that it’ll still rub. I know 285 with -12 offset will rub on a 3in lift so anything bigger would rub even if it’s an inch taller.
If you want to go bigger, just get a cab mount chop to play it safe. Or try it and see how it works out for you. Based on what I’ve seen most people that go over 285 tire size have to get a cab mount chop regardless of lift height unless you have a 6 in lift. Then you can clear 35s
I had that size tire on the trd off road, and I trimmed most of the bottom edge plastic in front and behind the tire. After trimming it didn't rub while turning on a reg flat road but I can't say it won't rub when turn when the wheel is flexed. Also in reverse while turning, you will rub slightly
Awesome video man, I wish I watched this before I went from stock rims to 0 offset. I put a 2 inch lift in the front with Bilstein 5100s with 265/70r17 with stock rims, no rubbing. As soon as I put 0 offset Method rims on, rubbing. I even upgraded my upper control arms to Icon, still rubbing 😡😡😡
Thanks man! Yeah that’s why I made the video because I’ve been in you shoes brother! I had the same thing with my 4Runner before I got my Tacoma. One major thing you have to consider is the width of the wheel too. Stock wheels are like 7-8 inches wide vs aftermarket wheels which usually start at 9 inches wide. That’s a big difference as far as clearance is concerned. So I did a ton of research before buying and yet it still rubs lol. Only way to really get around it is a cab mount relocation especially if you want bigger tires.
Same ones as these but in black. Looks like they’re sold out on the RRW website. www.sdwheel.com/buy-wheel-offset/RR6-H-1785-25139-BR/rrw-rr6-h-17x85-25
Curious what MPGs you get with this set up. I use my truck for everything including driving far to work so I’m taking that into consideration before doing a lift and 33s
I am looking at a 3/2 Readlift kit w/ 6112 struts (lift blocks on the rear) and I like the way the 4 Runner and TRD Pro wheels look. If I understood correctly, you were running the 17x7 4 Runner wheels with 285/70r17 with no rubbing? Did you have stock UCA then?
Great video! Quick question with your set-up, are you able to clear deep dips on full turns when you’re on the trails or off roading? That’s a really great looking set up.
Hey man! Sick truck, I have the same color. What rough country are you running? 3.5 lift? Right now I have the 3inch leveling kit from rough country but debating to go 3.5 inch lift
@@JordanMcKeithan if I have the 3inch leveling kit, what best tire size would run good without any rubbing/cutting issues with the rims I bought from ssw 17x9 -25 offset?
@@Aaronchristiann it’s hard to say man. That’s a heavy negative offset so it would have to be a smaller tire to not rub without any cutting. You could probably get away with -12 offset or less with 285/70/17 maybe without rubbing issues. But to fit 305/70/17 with the -25 offset, I have to do a cab mount chop plus some plastic trimming so they won’t rub.
Great video man. Quick questoion. I have 17 Taco Off-road with the Eibach Stage 2R lift kit which provides a 2 inch lift and I also have SPC UCA's. I currently running the stock TRD Off-Road wrapped with Nitto Ridge Grapplers 265/70/16. I'm in the market for some new wheels and currently looking at Summit Off-Road wheels (17x9 with -25 offset) and I want to run 285's or 275's nittos on. Do you think it will clear? without rubbing?
It definitely won't clear (unless you're willing to do a lot of cutting). This video is very good, but i would also recommend Tinker's Adventure's Toyota IFS videos for an even better understanding on how the Tacoma's front suspension geometry operates.
Tacos should come stock with room for 33” tires
Facts!!!
But then everyone would have them and we'd have to do 35s 🤣😂🤣
@MrWilson101 this is true lol
Trd pro can fit 255/80r17 with very little effort
stock room for 33s and a transmission that can go uphill without gear hunting would have been great.

Yo brother just to clarify, I can fit 285/70/17 with no rubbing on a 3 inch lift as long as I have a zero offset?
You’ll probably be good with 0 offset but do some research to be sure
Do you think 285 70r17 on 4 runner wheels will work on a 2023 pro with the 1.5” lift.
Hmmm it’s hard to say. Maybe? But if it does, it would be a very tight fit. It was tight for me when I had a 2in lift.

Thanks man. It’s the Body Armor 4x4 Hiline Series Front Bumper. Places like tacomabeast and runnin4tacos have it for sale but I got it off Amazon! Was a little cheaper there at the time.
I have bilstein 5100 on the front with the 2 inch lift and I just added 285 should I change my control arms ?? I should be ok right ?
Upper control arm is fine under a 3in lift
What’s the name of that front bumper?
Which front bumper are you running? Does it require trimming?
It’s the body armor 4x4 Hiline series front bumper. Yes it requires trimming.
What front bumper do you have on there?
Body Armor 4x4 Hiline Series Front Bumper
Thank you
No entiendo por qué dicen que no pegan 285/70/17 en mi Tacoma si pega y tengo 3 1/2 en frente y 2 2/1 atrás y aún pega tuve que cortar un poco
Thanks for the info. Do you think I can go 2.5 lift on the front with 285’s and -10 offset to avoid any rubbing issues?
It's hard to say man. Usually the second you get into negative offset, you're going to have some rubbing going on. To give you perspective, before I had this setup I had 2.5 in bilstein 5100 lift with 285-70-17 tires and TRD Pro wheels. No rubbing with that setup. Then I tried 1.5 in wheel spacers for a more aggressive stance, immediately TONS of rubbing so I took them off. As you can see just adding the slightest amount of negative offset changes the articulation angle and causes rubbing problems. Better off just getting a chop done if you want to avoid the rubbing and have a wider stance.
@@JordanMcKeithan thanks for advice again!
Good info but as an off-roader it will destroy my fender when the wheel fully tuck in the wheel well.
What bumper is that? Looks good
Thanks! It’s the Body Armor 4x4 HiLine Series Front Bumper.
Did you have to upgrade your gears?
For the same wheels with a -12 offset you think I can get away with running 305 or what do you think I can get away with? Got jba uppers and eibach stage 1
I mean you can get away with it if you’re willing to do some cutting for sure. If not, you’ll want to go smaller
what's the degrees of caster on the Upper control arms?
Any other recommendations on UCAs other than the SPCs you are running?
Awesome video and explains a lot! What are your thoughts on 18x9.5, -18 with 265/60/18 tires? CMC needed w a 2" lift? Or should I stick with 18x8.5, 0 offset?
From what I understand anytime you go with negative offset, it’ll likely rub without a cmc. So if you’re willing to do that, go for it, if not, maybe better to stick with the 0 offset.
Thanks. What about 275-65-17 no lift. ?
Beautiful Tacoma! Like it lifted and clean
JUST BUT 17 BY 9 RIMS FOR MY 2002 TOYOTA TACOMA V6 PREERUNNER WHICH SIZE TIRE SHOULD I USED
Great vid man, your taco looks sick! Did you do the cab mount chop on your own, or did you have an auto shop do that kind of work?
Did you run wheel spacers on your 2inch lift?
I did not run wheel spacers with the 2in lift! I actually tried and it made the tires rub so I took them off within an hour of installing them
Im just wondering what is the height of your truck after installing the lift and the 34’s. Will it fit your garage? Thanks for this video.
The truck is clearly shorter than him and he’s about 6 foot. Garage openings are over 7 foot tall.
@Bananahammock88 right, my truck fits in my garage and clears parking decks with a 7 ft clearance
How is the ride quality compare to factory? does it feel harsh?
It’s a little more stiff than factory but not as stiff as strut spacers, those SUCK!
Thinking about just getting bilstein 5100s but what should I do for the rear? I’m new to this and don’t know where to start
So I just did a block in the rear. You can do an upgraded leaf pack if you wanted though. That’s the better option
@@JordanMcKeithan I have a rc spacer lift but I’m not going to put in on I don’t think it’s a good option but it came with blocks can I just use that ?
@@fjr962 yeah you can just use the blocks or an upgrade heavy duty leaf pack either one.
@@JordanMcKeithan thx for the reply
@@JordanMcKeithan any way you could link me a site to get the 2in bilstein 5100 that u got?
What kind of front bumper is that
It’s the Body Armor 4x4 Hiline Series Front Bumper
Can you send me a link to wear you got your Toyota grill thanks
I am looking at 17x8.5mm -10mm wheels and was hoping to get 265/70R17 or down one to 265/65R17 you think I will have issues on a stock trd off road? Should I play it safe and get 16x8 0mm.
It’s hard to say. That tires is pretty small so you might be okay but you might rub a little with the negative offset wheels at stock height.
What’s the biggest tire size I could go with a 2022 Taco 3/2 ReadyLIFT and a 17x9 -12 offset without rubbing and without cutting?
285/70/17 maybe. Without any cutting its going to be tough with any negative offset wheel unless you’re willing to deal with some mild rubbing. But I’d say 285/70/17 would be your best bet.
@@JordanMcKeithan I don’t mind trimming or heating up some plastic. It’s the cab mount I’m worried about.
@@stay4theride gotcha. I understand that. Well the only thing I can compare it to would be my old 4 runner. I had a 3 in lift with 285/70/17 and a 17/9 -6 offset wheel. It rubbed a little on the plastic and slightly on the cab mount at full turn in reverse.
@@JordanMcKeithan thanks for the info 👍👍
Clean ride bro. What lug nuts are those?
Would the 295 or 305's fit a 4" lift with a 17×9 -12 offset wheel?
Maybe but my guess is that it’ll still rub. I know 285 with -12 offset will rub on a 3in lift so anything bigger would rub even if it’s an inch taller.
If you want to go bigger, just get a cab mount chop to play it safe. Or try it and see how it works out for you. Based on what I’ve seen most people that go over 285 tire size have to get a cab mount chop regardless of lift height unless you have a 6 in lift. Then you can clear 35s
What’s the biggest I can run with stock height
No idea bro. Maybe like 265/70/17? Check with a tire shop to be sure though.
What about 275/70/17 -10 offset 17x8.5 wheels will this rub? On stock suspension 2017 taco. Thank so much
I had that size tire on the trd off road, and I trimmed most of the bottom edge plastic in front and behind the tire. After trimming it didn't rub while turning on a reg flat road but I can't say it won't rub when turn when the wheel is flexed. Also in reverse while turning, you will rub slightly
what front bumper is on this truck ?????
Have you taken it offroad to see if it rubs and did you regear it?
Does well off road too! And no I did not regear it.
Looks terrible when tires stick out past the fender flares and the tires kick up rocks against the body.
Great, informative video. Thanks.
Awesome video man, I wish I watched this before I went from stock rims to 0 offset. I put a 2 inch lift in the front with Bilstein 5100s with 265/70r17 with stock rims, no rubbing. As soon as I put 0 offset Method rims on, rubbing. I even upgraded my upper control arms to Icon, still rubbing 😡😡😡
Thanks man! Yeah that’s why I made the video because I’ve been in you shoes brother! I had the same thing with my 4Runner before I got my Tacoma. One major thing you have to consider is the width of the wheel too. Stock wheels are like 7-8 inches wide vs aftermarket wheels which usually start at 9 inches wide. That’s a big difference as far as clearance is concerned. So I did a ton of research before buying and yet it still rubs lol. Only way to really get around it is a cab mount relocation especially if you want bigger tires.
Any recommendations on a 16” rim?
Guys like you is why I have chips in my windshield
😂😂😂
Bro, link for all these lift parts? I am looking to lift mine. Good video

Thanks man! I linked them for ya!
@@JordanMcKeithan Appreciate it bro
Good video. You need a mic so you can hear your voice better though.
Thanks man! Yeah I agree I need a lav mic for sure lol! Unfortunately all my spare change has gone to my truck recently 😂
what is that front bumper you have?
Link to the wheels ? I can not find the exact offset ?
Thank you so much
Same ones as these but in black. Looks like they’re sold out on the RRW website. www.sdwheel.com/buy-wheel-offset/RR6-H-1785-25139-BR/rrw-rr6-h-17x85-25
33 is perfect
Can I hire you to set my 17 off road like this?
Haha! Hey I'll take that as a compliment!
Curious what MPGs you get with this set up. I use my truck for everything including driving far to work so I’m taking that into consideration before doing a lift and 33s
I get around 16 mpg with this setup
3 inch lift with 35’s on my tacoma think that would work?
I am looking at a 3/2 Readlift kit w/ 6112 struts (lift blocks on the rear) and I like the way the 4 Runner and TRD Pro wheels look.
If I understood correctly, you were running the 17x7 4 Runner wheels with 285/70r17 with no rubbing? Did you have stock UCA then?
Thank you
Great video! Quick question with your set-up, are you able to clear deep dips on full turns when you’re on the trails or off roading? That’s a really great looking set up.
Thanks man, yeah I have no clearance issues except for when I’m in reverse and just on the driver side!
So this is a great video for building a pavement princess. Lifts dont make wheel wells bigger. Once that tire gets stuffed, it'll rub off everything.
whats your lift here bro? i watched most of the video but missed it
Good vid but also should be noted I ran 35s on same front lift with no rubbing issues
How much cutting did you have to do to make that happen?
@@JordanMcKeithan only fender cutting and wheel spacing to keep in mind depends mainly on how wide you go is the main issue not height
Great video but man! Turned down that music. Can’t really hear you
Hey man! Sick truck, I have the same color. What rough country are you running? 3.5 lift? Right now I have the 3inch leveling kit from rough country but debating to go 3.5 inch lift
Thanks man! Yeah I’m running the 3.5in lift with the N3 struts!
@@JordanMcKeithan if I have the 3inch leveling kit, what best tire size would run good without any rubbing/cutting issues with the rims I bought from ssw 17x9 -25 offset?
@@Aaronchristiann it’s hard to say man. That’s a heavy negative offset so it would have to be a smaller tire to not rub without any cutting. You could probably get away with -12 offset or less with 285/70/17 maybe without rubbing issues. But to fit 305/70/17 with the -25 offset, I have to do a cab mount chop plus some plastic trimming so they won’t rub.
@@JordanMcKeithan if I go 275/70 will it have rubbing issues with the 3inch? If I plan to go 3.5 will it have rubbing issues with the 275?
@@Aaronchristiann not sure man, it’s kind of a guessing game really. Maybe a little bit of rubbing but it’s hard to judge it until you get them on.
Great video man. Quick questoion. I have 17 Taco Off-road with the Eibach Stage 2R lift kit which provides a 2 inch lift and I also have SPC UCA's. I currently running the stock TRD Off-Road wrapped with Nitto Ridge Grapplers 265/70/16. I'm in the market for some new wheels and currently looking at Summit Off-Road wheels (17x9 with -25 offset) and I want to run 285's or 275's nittos on. Do you think it will clear? without rubbing?
It definitely won't clear (unless you're willing to do a lot of cutting). This video is very good, but i would also recommend Tinker's Adventure's Toyota IFS videos for an even better understanding on how the Tacoma's front suspension geometry operates.
Is it possible to run 285/70r17 with 0 offset on stock suspension?
Probably not. You’d be rubbing like crazy.
I have a 2.25” lift and CMC with that tire size and I don’t rub on full turns and dips. Stock suspension will rub
