3" lift and 305's

[dmmi]

I know you can run 285/75/16 with the 3" lift but I already have 305/70/16's. The overall diameter is the same, the tires are just 0.75" thicker. I'm thinking that if I got the correct offset there wouldn't be a problem.

Any thoughts

That 3/4" can make a difference at full suspension compression. Have you already installed the lift? If so, you can try to determine how much room is left at compression with your current tires on, then do a rough calculation of clearance for the wider tire. Not too accurate, I know, but it can work.

If you're not planning on doing any hardcore 4wheeling, then it probably won't matter much.

Thanks a lot.

No, I don't even have the FJ yet, I'm going to trade my '05 Tacoma, the deal is written up just have to wait now. I had purchased the lift and pre-ordered the tires. Now, I can just exchange the lift for the FJ one, and the tires are here.

Love the Tacoma, have driven a truck all my life...

93 T100, 01 tacoma, 05 tacoma.

I just want a change.

I don't think you will like the baja claws after a few thousand miles. They are loud and they wear like crap! Have you had them before?

 

[dmmi]

No,

They are actually Baja claw radials which a different than the baja claw. These are designed for road use as well as the obvious off road capability. They also come in sizes smaller than 35" as the regular baja claws I don't think go down to 305/70/16.

I have also spoken to many people with Tacomas that have them on that really like them and say they arn't that load. But seriously they are a mud tire so they arn't goint to be silent.

Thanks for the advice.

The two Revtek FJ's have 305's, one with 16" wheels, one with 17". But, they have also cut back the front body mounts.

 

[dmmi]

Thank you for your input, are there any tires that you recomend, I can still exchange my tires.

I have the Revtek 3" lift and 305 17" Wrangler MTR's on my FJ right now. They rub slightly on tight turns. The ride is great, the traction is super. Had it locked up in 4low last weekend busting through 4' snowdrifts in one shot! This setup is bitchin!
