Fitting 285 Tires on a Tacoma Off-Road | SPC UCAs + Dobinson MRRs

[@jt.explores]

Absolutely awesome video!

[@SpencerHogg]

Appreciate all your hard work buddy, and the shop for taking such great care of my Tacoma (plus letting me hangout and learn about my UCA's) huge thank you !!

[@Dwatalla]

So great that you get to hang out while your truck is being worked on and film.

[@julestrdprodjimavicpro2869]

welcome to the 285 family! and another cool video!

[@RobertsAdventure]

Great practical explanation of caster adjustments on the SPC, thank you!

[@MustafarRecRoom]

Would’ve been helpful to show tire clearance *after* the alignment/caster adjustments.

[@L1AML0]

Great stuff man! I've been planning this same setup and your video definitely helps that decision. Killer truck

[@alexandrepotvin446]

Such a great combo ,absolutely LOVE the setup my man 🙌

[@LoganKingMedia]

Awesome video! Taco looks even better now

[@AuthenticGiantsFan]

Love the set up. Everyone always goes 3” lift with 35’s which personally seems like too much for a mid size truck to me. This set up looks perfect. Hope to see more videos soon bro 👍🏽

[@SpencerHogg]

thank you buddy I appreciate the comment very much and so far am loving the setup !!

[@tacodrewww]

I literally slapped some 285/75r17 on my Tacoma , had some cutting to Do let me tell yea ! Looks dope my friend ! 🤙

[@SpencerHogg]

Hell ya !! Thanks so much man 🤙

[@andy.hanway]

I’m wanting to get that exact tire and wheel setup. 285/75/16 General Grabber A/T x with SCS BR6 16x8 -12 since that’s the only option they have for 16 inch wheels. I was thinking about going with Bilstein 6112 / 5160 with add a leaf. Probably SPC uca and hopefully this would level it with no rubbing. Curious what kind of mpg you get with that current setup with the 285/75/16 you get versus your old setup with 265/75/16.

[@bradjeffries8144]

What setting did you use for the SPC. F?

[@PoshDetailing]

Great to see some updates!!

[@claytonmorgans5502]

Very nice! Truck looks amazing as always.

[@PrincessAndJuan]

too dope bro! I had no idea these things were so specific, right down to the degree 😱 also can't believe the difference in quality! OEM needs to step it up!

[@bangbangninergang7573]

Did you notice a dramatic decrease in your MPGs? I have a second gen and would like to put the same size tires. Great set up by the way.

[@vinib72]

Feel like you need to regear? Looks awesome!!

[@SpencerHogg]

Thankfully, no! That was my main intention around the setup and size, as much as I can comfortably go without any massive chopping or regearing. As amazing and cool as 35’s would be offroading / trails etc. going any bigger would 100% need a regear. Then it just becomes a headache for maintennce and reliability and I do a lot more like camping hiking biking kayaking etc so want to keep it still reasonably reliable and such.

[@RobertsAdventure]

Any gravel pickup in the treads is probably going to shred the back of the wheel well though eh? :)

[@brandonbrown927]

Great vid as always! I've got a tiny bit of rubbing with my 265/75R16 Hercs on the mud flaps that only annoys me when I'm fully locked turning in reverse. I know when I go up to 285s or even 295s I've got a lot of trimming to do, but also a cab-mount chop will likely be in order. You going to CMC too?

[@pinoyrc77]

Perfect set up now spencer👏👊, what’s your leaf pack did you installed bud? Thanks

[@Tanjman_]

Ehhhhh glad to see another video buddy!

[@SpencerHogg]

thanks bro!!

[@Cementtacothyme]

Deadly! Great information!

[@erik_wtha9423]

Are your tires load e or load c?

[@andy.hanway]

I’m really thinking on getting that Dobinsons MRR suspension. Will it lift it to 3”? I thought you said it gave you 2” lift. I’m worried about rubbing and you got the spc upper control arms which gave you adjustment but I’m thinking about going with JBA upper control arms But unfortunately, they’re not adjustable. Same size tire 285/75/16 AT/x with SCS BR6 or Ray 10 in 16x8 -12 offset

[@mikemorgan4670]

Nice set up. Looks great.

[@SpencerHogg]

Thanks buddy!

[@4xhoser]

Good vid, I fit the exact same tire with no lift on my 18, and 22 taco, stock wheel offset is the key 😀🤘🇨🇦 its the size tire the truck should've come with stock and the wildpeak at3ws are killer in the snow aired down

[@h2beezy2]

Nice man, I'm thinking of getting the dobinsons MRR full suspension kit as well. I have the SPC UCAs with 285 Nitto Ridge Grapplers and was able to keep the OEM mudflaps without any rubbing. Any comments on the MRRs? Just wondering, how high of a lift do you have on the front and rear?

[@gregnauman922]

How are the 285’s without a regear?

[@4xhoser]

You notice it a bit on hills but went from 12-13 to 14-15 L/100kms

[@ddoghunt3471]

Totally didn't mention the 14 mm bolt that holds the upper control arm. Did we cutt it and replace it backwards the easy way, or beat and pry inner finders?

[@SpencerHogg]

pry fender a little back and the wrench fit to get it our (they did an awesome job)

[@midge91]

Did you cover the wheel size in a different video?

[@ParkerCharlesGabriel]

What kind of headlights are those?!?!

[@SpencerHogg]

They are Morimoto XB's Headlights, the Version 1, and the Version 2 has the option to go amber as DRL too which looks cool. These are white with turn signal switchback.,

[@MegaKikeGasGas]

I have 2" leveling kit with 285's\70\17 feels b-ass and looks tough. Also drives like a champ.. No rubbing what so ever!

[@jaredblaine668]

Looks soooo good! 👌

[@SpencerHogg]

thanks so much dude !!

[@jay.0621]

looks sweet and hi from Toronto! just curious,do u spray rustproofing on your taco every year?

[@SpencerHogg]

Hey thanks man! No I didn't but I wish I did ahaha I wish I had a honey-glaze seal underneath to prevent the rust

[@dms14]

What wheel was used for the spare??

[@pinoyrc77]

I'll visit you one day spencer in your area lol

[@timmyvall2795]

what size is your lift ?

[@kenni411]

did you do full suspension on that also beside UPC's? if so what suspension?

[@SpencerHogg]

Dobinson MRR Suspension on 2.5" lift front and back and the medium duty rear leaf springs. + SPC UCA's

[@pinoyrc77]

I like that upper control arm eh😊

[@jackbauer562]

Wow. Whats your wheels spec. Thanks

[@SpencerHogg]

16 x 8 -10 offset (and I think that offset is pretty key in this tire/wheel setup)

[@ohTubbies]

Did you do a cab mount chop for this? Also what size lift are you running ?

[@SpencerHogg]

No CMC. Just 2” lift (Dobinson MRR) and SPC UCA’s are needed though for adjustment and need to trim a tiny bit

[@ohTubbies]

@@SpencerHogg thank you! I’m planning on doing the RC 3.5 inch kit with the control arms hoping to run 285/75r17

[@Okzander]

@@SpencerHogg Did you just trim the plastic parts or the metal parts as well? You have a -12 offset wheel right? Thanks

[@SpencerHogg]

@@Okzander yes and yes - plastic only - no metal ! -12 offset , I’m not sure how other offsets may require , perhaps less cutting I’m not sure tho! Report back what your sizes end up

[@Okzander]

@@SpencerHogg Thanks man will do! Trying to decide if I should do a method wheel with 0 offset or a scs wheel like yours with the -12 offset. I think the -12 would look cooler but its hard to tell until u see it in person.

[@markrudd8313]

🔥🔥🔥

[@SpencerHogg]

[@derekprosser3253]
