mouse007's build (2014 DCSB 4x4 Taco)

[Acerwin]

You didn't have spacers on when you was running the 255's did you? I'm asking cause in see some peoples tacomas with the 255's stick out further than others and neither seem to be running spacers so I'm a little confused of what makes the tires stick out further on some and not others?

Wheel offset and backspace.

 

[Acerwin]

Yeah I know that but they are using stock trd offroad wheels? They should be the same right?

 

[Acerwin]

Have you installed the snorkel yet? Would love to see it on your truck.

 

[mouse007]

Good build thread my friend!

Thank you..!!

 

[mouse007]

No sir, I really miss my 255/85 R16" honest they look perfect without spacers. IMHO.

I'm on the fence, I think I should wait for the one made for the Taco. But I do already have the Hilux one, so am not 100% sure what to do.

Thanks for all the replies haha. Are you ever going to go back to the 255's?

Did you ever find out if the arb bull bar for 05-11 tacoma fits on the newer 12+ tacomas?

I'm leaning towards the BFG KO2 in 34" x 10.5 R17" this will be very similar to a 255/85 R16 juts a bit taller and a hair wider.

Yes, I spoke with ARB several times and a few others, the bull bar will fit but the center grill will need to be trimmed.

uscg2008 I'm running Pelfreybilt Off-Road IFS steel skid plate.
I highly recommend it, amazing fit and finish.
