Bilstein 5100 tire size?

I’m sure there is already a thread, if so please point me in the direction.

I am looking to do the bilstein 5100 kit. I don’t want to do uca because I’m on a budget. What tire size will I be able to run without rubbing or cutting, and what height setting?

 

265/75R16 or 265/70R17 at any setting. This is the largest size at stock height and with a lift without cutting.

255/86R16 also work, we call them pizza cutters. Bigger but skinny.

Anything larger requires cab mount chop (CMC) or other cutting/modifications to fit.

Now you have all info you need to search further through forums. Let us know if you have more questions. And welcome

 

I have 235 85 16 and they dont look as skinny as people make them sound. They look normal to me like they should come on Tacomas stock. I have no lift but want to upgrade suspension at some point. I don't care about lift. I want good suspension.

 

I did 265 75 16 and never rubbed at full flex. Now I'm onto 285 75 16s and am doing ucas, cmc, and trimming.

 

U can do 5100s w the ome 887s and be fine. Over 2 in and u will have shit angles on the front cvs.

 

5100’s 1.5” front lift oem coils / rear 1.5” wheelers aal. Factory rake. Ride is stiffer in a good way. Just my 2cents. Welcome to the forum bro

 

Yeah I ran 265/70/r16’s and upgraded to a 3 inch lift to fit 285’s/33s oem UCAs.

not regretting it one bit. If you want bigger tires I’d just do a 3 inch lift and save up. Technically from 265 to 285 it’s just a $100 upgrade on most tire/wheel companies.

but if you’re just trying to save I would do 265 the safest bet. No rub and no trimming needed.

 

This is what I'm looking at doing also.

 

Thanks bro. Yeah very subtle lift but rides great and 265/75/16 still look good. Great light off-roading and camping etc ... I use it it’s a truck. Glad I went this route. No complaints

 

Exactly. It looks great and is very functional. I carry heavy gear in the bed much of the time, pull a boat, pull an atv on a trailer etc. I want a stiffer ride that can absorb the extra weight and bumps without having to alter CV joints, shafts, or anything like that.

 

With towing that much weight maybe look into a leaf pack instead of an aal. Other members definitely know more about leaf packs. Or you could do Progressive leaf pack and leave overload spring in. Just a thought

 

I've been reading up on all the info on the forum
I think I saw the 5100 OME kit with Dakkar (spelling) all for around $1200? I'm looking for something I can install myself and just get an alignment and roll.

 

That’s a good kit bro. Think it will be perfect

 

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I have a bone stock 2010 access cab, V6, 6-speed manual. Currently on 265/70/17’s. I’d like to lift it a little, maintain a decent on road ride and put taller tires on it. Thinking Falken Wildpeaks somewhere around 255/85/16 or 265/85/16. Also looking for some cheap black wheels. Would 5100’s get me there without the CMC and trimming? No off reading, just a daily driver.

Thank you guys! I will appreciate any help or advice you can offer.

This will be perfect depending on front lift adjustments you could also get a 1” block or AAL add a leaf.
Good luck

 

Thank you for the reply! Unfortunately those are for a 95-04 Tacoma. You think those 5100’s would give me enough height to fit 255/85/16 or 265/85/16 without any trimming or CMC? Definitely considering the AAL though. Thanks for your help!
