Lift and tires for 09' Tacoma!

Hey all,

I have a stock 09' Tacoma 4x4, and I bought a set of TRD Bilsteins, and TRD FJ 16" wheels. I want to run a 265/75/16 BFG A/T. Will I have any issues with rubbing?

My old '05 Tacoma DC TRD off road came stock with the 265's, you won't have any trouble rubbing except maybe at lock to lock and full stuffed when turning. When I went to 285's I ended up rubbing periodically.

so what lift did you get? The TRD shocks won't lift you at all.

I have a base model Tacoma, no TRD, and the stock tires are 245/75/16 on steel wheels.

With the TRD shocks you bought you should be fine.
To my knowledge that's the only difference between the base model setup and the TRD setup.

I have a TRD Sport Tacoma and I'm running 265/70/16 Mickey Thompson MTZ's which are a mud-terrain and I have no rubbing problems.
They're even a little bit wider than stock and I'm fine.

Sooo, you think I could run a 285 tire with the TRD 5100's and not have much of a rubbing issue?

I think I misunderstood your original problem.
Fact is, none of the important dimensions change unless you're talking about the regular cab 4x2 non-Prerunner manual/auto.

The shocks you bought will not lift you, they will provide slightly better off-road performance but that's about it.

You should be able to run 265's with no problems at all.
