I think you might rub the frame and the upper A-Arm with stock rims, not entirely sure, but you may want to check on that. I think guys end up having to run spacers to keep the tires off of the upper a arm....ask Sloppy Taco/Chris, I think he ran into this problem after I told him it would happen...hahaha

Let us know what you find out, and good luck!

u can have my 225 or 215s if u want. They are about the saddest truck tire ever and its what it came with. They have good tread on them and are even WHITE WALL!!!

I have a guy who owns his own shop and will probably get you one of the best deals on tires. I don't know what he will charge you though, i can ask if you want. what type do you want?

[04tacodrvr]

well i was looking for bfg mt's or maybe some swamper ssr's.

I called on the tires man, I thought he could get a better deal than what he said. $910 for the Bfg's installed and $750 for the Swampers installed. He would have to order the swampers and it would take a week.

[ATLRoach]

Daniel get with Sammy.. He got tires from Norm and works up in Alpharetta now. Maybe he can hook you up.

$910 for the Bfg's installed and $750 for the Swampers installed. :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Daniel,
Get with Norman at Discount tires on Holcomb Bridge Road or Christian work at Discount Tire on State Bridge road. They will both give you a hookup.

[link817]

yeah i know expensive, what did you get yours for?

[GOT COPE?]

$680 + $60 for the warranty ($15 a tire) so $740 w/ warranty. Warranty jacks it up.

But yeah $910 for BFGs is insane!

With the thick knuckles on the fabtech lift I had to install a 1/4" wheel spacer to keep the tires from rubbing on the knuckle. I am not sure what would rub on an ome lift, 285's, and stock rims. If you want to try a wheel out and see if it will scrub let me know. Marshall jinxsed me...

[link817]

where did you get them at? I mean if you start to look around these tire are about 220 a piece. I went to tire rack and saw them for 195 but you have 80 in shipping? Please fill me in on where you got yours at?

[sloppytaco]

Discount tire has free shipping and great prices.

Basically, you needed more Backspacing (BS) lower number numerically. Stock Tacoma is 4.5" BS.

hey sammy, whats been going on? as usual i'm way late to reply to you guys. i stopped in to see norm the other day and had lunch with him. i'm working up in alpharetta again.

[04tacodrvr]

hey chris, i was gonna ask to test fit your tires again but marshal found me a deal i can't pass up. i'm sure its gonna rub some, i'll just have to see where and how bad to see how soon i need some more lift. thanks guys for the response!!
-daniel

[ATLRoach]

So that is why he needed your number...

[sloppytaco]

So, what are you going to get?

[04tacodrvr]

what up everyboody. just wanted to give a big shout out to marshall for coming thru on the deal of the century for me(thanks again man, i owe you one!). well guys i'm ready to hit some trails with my new mtr's! i got the 285's on stock rims and the only thing they hit so far is the frame at full lock. it is close on the upper a arm but no rubbing. hasn't even hit the plastic in front of the pinch weld yet!!!! i'm curious to see how it does with a little flex action. hope to wheel with yall soon!
