Even before the lift the distance between the upper control arm (UCA) on the front suspension and the inside of the tire was cozy to say the least. With the lift I have a tight inch between the UCA and the inner part of the tire. These are stock wheels with 265/75R16 tires; want to get new tires next, possibly 285's. Would like to add new wheels, but wonder what the proper fitment as far as backspacing and offset to provide more clearance from the UCA and give the truck that bulldog stance I loved so much with my Tacoma. AIn't scared about welding spacers on the back of the existing steel wheels and adding longer lug bolts, but I do transport my kids around in this rig, too! Fancy ain't my bag just function. Any suggestions on specs for proper clearance with new wheels; backspacing, offset, width, etc.? Just installed a 3 inch Toytec kit on a 2005 double cab 4X4.

Ask your tire dealer. Usually you can go 1-2" bigger. Joe – No idea. Ask your tire dealer. Usually you can go 1-2″ bigger.

I have factory 17" wheels on it. How big can I go with tires? I don't want to lift it and I can't afford new wheels. I have 2005 4 door tundra. I have factory 17″ wheels on it.

We specialize in the 07+ here. Having said that, ToyTec offers a lift kit for the older Tundras. Based purely on the quality of their product (and not on any actual testing or review), I would suggest you look in that direction as well.

As for the rumble, I'm a big fan of visiting your local muffler shop.

Also wondering about the easiest way to get the low rumble sound the engine "should" have. I'm coming off a Hemi that sounded great and was a lot of fun to drive. The Toyota is a far superior vehicle but would love to get that V-8 rumble instead of the TRD sewing machine sound. Sorry, last comment was from me too.

Any feedback on vehicle ride, handling, tire wear after an install? Did I also read somewhere that I will need to get a Toyota shop to reset my computer or something like that?
