In today's video we mount and balance the new wheels and tires!! This is a pretty aggressive set up as you will see, we had some "rubbing" issues at first, but once we got home to evaluate everything, I have zero rubbing and no need for a cab mount chop! I will have a detailed install and before/after measurements so stay tuned for the rest of the build for the Tacoma by subscribing to our channel!
Let's unveil my newly lifted 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road!! You have all seen the previous videos where I show the entire lift kit, wheels and tires. And then the two separate installation videos. First installation video we show how to install upper control arms and struts up front on the Tacoma.
Second installation video we install the add a leaf pack and upgraded rear shocks.
We had a ton of comments from people saying that the +10 offset on my RTX wheels along with the 33 X 12.5 Nitto tires would be way too big! They said rubbing on the fender liners and parts of the cab would be inevitable!
I planned out this lift for a long time and was confident the specs I went with would have perfect fitment. However when at the tire shop getting everything mounted and balanced, when they put the front wheel on, it rubbed on the upper control arm!
So we thought there was an issue and scrambled a bit to figure out the best way to solve the 33in tire rubbing issue.
Turns out the wheel was just placed on the hub and was being held there at an angle which caused it to rub. ;)
After bringing the completed set of RTX wheels and Nitto tires back home, we installed them just as planned and had absolutely no rubbing! We did not need wheel spacers or anything. I think I went with the perfect specs for everything and overall installing this 3in lift kit on my 2017 Toyota Tacoma went very well! I got the exact look I was going for and everyone was wrong when they said I'd have to cut the fenders and do a cab chop! Honestly I was expecting some rubbing, and we were actually shocked I had a good inch of clearance even at full lock.
The lift kit on the Tacoma along with the wheel setup is perfect!
