    Their website gives specifics on wheel size, width and offset based on tires run and any other trimming needed. If you have other questions just call them
    https://www.roughcountry.com/product/configurable/toyota-suspension-lift-kit-71200

    Not sure what your goals are in lifting and use of the truck, but that is really high if you plan to use your truck as a truck. Then the fact that rough country is a low end lift and you will get what you pay for. Next, it is a bracket lift which has its own set of considerations and issues. So, do your research.

    BTW, you can fit 35s, even 37s with 2.5-3 inch lift and coilover lifts in that size ride and handle better than bracket lifts. They are also more reliable long term.

    Yeaaaaaaah. You can run any wheel you want. There might be More or Less rubbing. More trimming here, less there.

    But you can run 17, 18, or 20" wheels.

    The Rough country Wheel knuckles for the 6" lift may not clear with a 18" wheel or something like that (probably offset as mentioned earlier). If RC says it won't fit....probably a reason they say it won't fit. But Hey OP @Vennessa671$$.....if you want to ruin the ride and usability of your truck with a 6" lift you're free to do what ever makes you happy. Maybe an 18" will work or maybe RC has a reason they say that. Also the Brodozer look isn't complete without 22's and Low profile MT tires that have fun names like "Mudfang" .. "Venom" ..."Terrain Beast"... "Lion Claw".... "Wildtraxx" etc. (I made a couple of those names up, but bet you can't tell which ones), so might as well go with at least a 22" rim or bigger. Just jabbing a bit...
