I got this!

First, 315/75r16 on stock TRD OR wheels and 1.25” Spidertrax spacers:

Now, 315/75r16 on Black Rhino Arsenal wheels with a -10mm offset:

So, some tips:

-Aftermarket upper control arms will help because you can adjust camber/caster with them if needed.

-Around 2.5” of lift is probably the minimum needed.

-A high clearance front bumper will help but if not you will need to cut part of the stock bumper in such a way that it becomes “high clearance.”

-A cab mount chop is needed. I suggest chopping it as close to the body mount as you can go. You will still rub on this when flexing off-road, but it’s not a big deal.

-While doing the CMC, flatten the pinch weld above it as well. This gives you a lot of extra clearance to not rub that area.

-You might trim some of the plastic near the CMC area. I did.

-You don’t have to trim the entire fender well to open it up more, but some people like to do that. Personally, I don’t like the look of it and while I have rubbed the top of my fenders, it hasn’t been a big deal.

-You will need wheel spacers in the front or aftermarket wheels with enough offset or backspacing to push the tire away from the upper control arm. Otherwise, it will rub so bad you won’t even be able to drive the truck.

-When you go this big, regearing to 5.29s or at least having OVTune will help the truck a lot as far as driving it goes.

-This size tire is definitely loud.

-You will probably wear our your tie-rods much faster with this tire size. Be mindful about them and occasionally give them a tug to see how loose they are. They shouldn’t be easy to wiggle with your hand.

Awesome info, thank you very much. Truck looks amazing. I picked up Method Racing 315s , they list as 0 offset. These with Icon Billet Uppers, think I will be ok?
