What we did to fit 35's onto a Toyota Tundra

- We did some neat little tricks to make sure we were not rubbing on these Toyo Open Country 35" Tires on the 17" Icon Wheels. When the Toyota Tundra came to me it already had the body mount chop so it was good we didn't have to do that.
We did find out that you could move the inner fender forward about an inch and then re-pop some holes for the screws and bolts. Then we learned a trick from CZcams that showed us to heat up the inner fender till it smelled funny then you could roll it with a ball when it was cooling and you could mold its shape... and it totally worked.
Thanks to Boss4x4s for the parts to make this tundra lift kit happen.

That fender liner mod is a great trick. I did the exact same to my 4 runner to fit 285's under her
Yeah, makes a lot of room actually and it's not hard just takes some time.
Rion Spring I took the Dremel to my 4Runner for 285... heatgun wasn’t enough
@@ImOldGregg I was referring to moving the fender liner in my original comment, no heat gun or dremel required for me. The wheels I have are only 7" wide (TRD Pro wheels), but I agree anything wider and I also would have had to do the same as you.
Rion Spring yeah I have vtx rogues which are a bit wider and have a -10 degree offset. The tires do extend a fair bit out of the wheel wheel and even rubbed a bit with 265 ridge grapplers. Had to do a lot more trimming for the 285s
Thank God someone did a good video on this!!
I fit 34's on my 2007 Tundra without any modification other than a 2.25" level lift in the front with Bilstein 5100's. Factory 20" wheels. Perfect size in my opinion.
Double cab? Or CM? Not sure if it makes a difference. I have a 2” lift on my 07 DC. Was originally wanting 35s, but my wheels are 20x9 with 0 Offset. Was thinking Toyo MT 295/65/20 which is almost a 34” or close enough.
@@pyromilk double cab
@@OriginalWhiteDevil thanks for the reply. I didn’t realize you had factory wheels. Guess I’m going to go 33 and not worry about the hassle
Perfect
I have 35/12.5/R17 on Method 701 zero offset wheels. We did pretty much exactly what the video showed. My tires only stick out about 0.5-0.75".
Nice, perfect I bet it looks great
heck yah! that's exactly what I want on my 2nd gen Tundra. Do you have any pictures ?
@@raceofrobots I don't have a CZcams channel to show video or pics with
@@blackwaterlotus8124 you got a discord? discord.gg/vdnUgA
Nice truck!
Btw, looks like you are using harbor freights jack stands. There’s a recall for them. Careful!
Yeah thanks. I've exchanged them since the release of the video
33s would be my choice but thank you for posting helps as reference
Those are definitely the easiest install
SnailTrail4x4 IMO, 33’s look to wimpy on a Tundra. The scale size looks off.
@Kevin Jay yeah, that’s it! You got me! Smart guy!
You can also add a bumper spacer, works well
What are those?
@@SnailTrail4x4 Check out Coachbuilder shims.
were the newer toyota trucks cab mounts in the front made longer and more forward to prevent people from installing bigger tires? or for the crash? when the truck impacts another vehicle, the wheels and tires will move back to the cab mounts to stop the vehicle quickly?
They did get bigger but I'm not sure why
Hey, great video! At the onset you mentioned 'chop kit' what size & which would you recommend? Thanks
For the body mount chop?
Just got an 08 Tundra, Will a 17" wheel fit without rubbing the rotors? Rotors seem so close to the 18" wheel on there now and yet I seem to see lots on youtube doing 17". And what offset? I want the biggest tire I can get, Maybe 315/70/17.
So many wheels are made differently it's impossible for me to say. What might work for one doesn't on another. Find the wheels you want then find is someone is using them. My guess is yes, but I don't know what offset
Looks good
Yeah it does! Looks huge in person.
did you have to do anything to program new tire size for speedo or to keep the skid control ecu happy
The computer can't be reprogrammed. We did purchase the hyper tech OBD2 module that adjusts the ratio so Speedo is accurate, but never installed for a reason. With the larger tires and regear (4.88) the speedo is only off by a few mph, reading slower than my actual speed.
How are the CVs with this suspension? Did you had to make any modifications to relief any stress on them?
We added a diff drop and haven't had an issue with either CV
@@SnailTrail4x4 i think adding a diff drop defeats the purpose of a lift tho right you end up losing low center clearance?
@@freemaysin5088no- not really. It doesn’t really “drop” the whole front diff. It really just tilts it to help the angle. The tilting aspect adds other complications though.
Were they factory offset wheels?
Great videos! Glad I found them. Just started mods on my 2014 Tundra. Starting with Icon Stage 8. Unfortunately with your videos I realized my kit does not have the adjusting valves which I thought it did. Crap! Hopefully it will ride OK. And I didn't think of the ABS extension. Thanks for that as well. Anything else I need to think about? I will be going to Colorado in 3 weeks so I got a little time to address anything crucial!
What rear springs are you doing?
Hi, how are you, I just install the blistein 5100 on my 2014 tundra, in the front, and 1"block in the back. The tire's size 285/70/18, look good on the truck but with the rubbing problems both driver side and passenger. So is that the size too big? The tire really hitting the mud flap bad, even too close to the back side of chrome bumper, any advice would appreciate it.
Remove the mudflaps? Is it hitting the body mount also, because we needed to do a chop on that as well to fit these 35"
SnailTrail4x4 I have the exact same set up and my only problem is the front tires rubbing on that front bumper but only in reverse, no other rubbing issue so far. Got front bumper shims to space it out but will also try this trick you guys did soon.
So I need to add a lift on my truck to get that 35 or just a trimming would be enough?
3-4" lift, body mount chop, and some plastic triming, yes
My tundra gas a leveling kit no chopping of anything with 35's !
@@mohawkgarage3990 -- and you don't rub anywhere? Even when compressed?
@@SnailTrail4x4 no I don't rub at all, the truck was set up when I bought it, but it gave Bilstein coil overs up front, I was thinking about adding a 3 inch leveling kit to it and 3 inch blocks and see if I can stuff 37's under it
@@mohawkgarage3990 -- that would be awesome, we're going to 37s on this truck soon
Is this a stock, or lift
Lift, with mods and you still need to tweak it
is this fitment done for looks strictly ? since in the real world if this truck will go off road and meets the first pot hole will shoot back into everything you just adjusted and will feel and sound like a shopping cart
Not at all. This fitment was made for the tires to be able to go off-roading with out hitting any of the body. Moving the fender liner forward made all the difference. Since it's independent front suspension the wheel doesn't travel forward or backwards during compression thus it will not hit the adjustment. In addition the track has been off road many times since we have addes the 35" tires and adjusted the inner fenders and everything is still in Place.
What size lift was used
4.5" lift
How did you get 4.5 out of that lift?
Thanks for the video
What's this setup?
There is an entire build sequence on this truck
35 /??/R??
I try to get
35/12.5/R20 that Will fit same ?
Yes, they will be close. These were 35/12.5r17
What offset is that icon rebound?
+25
Looks very nice! Needs 20 inch wheels though. These big boy tundras ain't jeeps. Unless it's a hardcore Moab style wheeler, 20 inch wheels are the norm now. Anything under 20 inches on a full size truck just looks dated. Just my opinion though. Nice build. Exactly the way I want to do my double cab
I guess we all have our own opinions, I personally dislike anything larger than 17" but thats me
Yea 17 look perfect to me also. 18 is ok.. anything bigger is ugly to me..
20" reduces the ride quality. More tire height = better ride. The Tundra ride is already stiff enough.
@@GregScavezze ride quality reasoning went out the window with a lift and 35 inch tires...
@@nightstalker824 I have ridden in a Tundra with a 3" lift and 35s and it felt great. I test drove a brand new Tundra with a dealer installed 4" lift and 20 inch wheels and it handled much differently.
Regardless, given the same 3 inch lift, more tire thickness = softer ride.
But will with work on my tacoma!? 😁😂
After fitting the lift and the body mount chop you can roll the inner fenders it might just fit.
