Tire Shop for
Carmichael Trucks & SUVs
Sacramento is truck country and Carmichael is full of Tacomas, F-150s, 4Runners, and Tundras that deserve more than a stock setup. Tire Geeks on Arden Way handles lifts, leveling kits, custom wheels, lowering, and tires starting at $279 — about 10 minutes from Carmichael via Fair Oaks Boulevard. Walk in Mon–Sat 9AM–7PM. Call (916) 913-8786.
Why Carmichael Drivers Choose Tire Geeks
Someone Who Actually Knows Fitment
Looking for someone who actually knows fitment? Most chain shops type your truck into a database and hand back whatever fits stock. The moment you mention a 3-inch level, 33s, or a -12 offset wheel, they are out. We do this work every day. We measure backspacing, verify offset, check caliper and inner-fender clearance, and walk you through the math before any wheel goes on. No guesswork, no rubbing, no scratched barrels.
Lift Kits, Wheels, and Tires Under One Roof
Stock setup got nothing. We carry Rough Country, ReadyLIFT, BDS, Bilstein, and Teraflex on the shelf for lifts and leveling kits, plus a full wall of Fuel, Method, KMC, Moto Metal, XD, American Force, and Black Rhino for wheels. Tires from Nitto, Toyo, BFGoodrich, Falken, Cooper, Hankook, and Michelin on the floor. Build the whole thing in one shop — lift, wheels, tires, post-lift alignment — and drive out done.
Build Is Finally Coming Together
Whether you are leveling a daily-driver F-150, going 4 inches on a Tacoma TRD Off-Road, dropping a Camaro on coilovers, or bolting staggered wheels onto a Mustang, we sweat the details. Half-day lifts, same-day wheel-and-tire packages, post-install four-wheel alignment included. No 2-week appointment lottery, no dealership-grade markup. Walk in Mon–Sat 9AM–7PM and get a quote on the spot.

Real Carmichael Scenarios
Tacoma or F-150 With a 3-Inch Level on 33s
You are running a 3rd-gen Tacoma TRD Off-Road or a late-model F-150 and the factory rake is bugging you. You want a 3-inch leveling kit, 33s on a 17x8.5 with a -12 offset, and the truck dialed back in so the daily commute does not eat tires. Half-day install: Rough Country, ReadyLIFT, or Bilstein on the level; Method or Fuel for the wheels; Nitto Ridge Grappler or Toyo Open Country for rubber; post-lift four-wheel alignment included. Drive out ready for Tahoe.
Mustang or Camaro Project Car, Staggered Fitment
You have an S550 Mustang or a Camaro SS sitting on stock or coilovers, and the build is finally coming together. You want a staggered wheel-and-tire package — usually a 19x9.5 or 20x9.5 front with a 19x10.5 or 20x11 rear, ET dialed to clear without rubbing on the inner fenders. We measure poke and tuck, spec the right tire size for your suspension setup, and mount, balance, and torque it on the same visit. Low is a lifestyle, but it has to fit right.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size tires fit a Tacoma or F-150 with a 3-inch leveling kit?
A 3rd-gen Tacoma with a 3-inch leveling kit usually clears 285/70R17 (about 33s) on a stock-width or 17x8.5 wheel with 0 to -12 offset. A late-model F-150 with a 2 to 2.5-inch level can run 285/75R18 or 295/70R18 with the right offset, no rubbing on a flush setup. We measure, verify clearance on lock-to-lock, and check rubbing before you drive out.
Do you do post-lift alignments on every install?
Yes. Every lift, leveling kit, lowering kit, and coilover install at Tire Geeks includes a post-install four-wheel alignment at no extra charge. A lift without an alignment shreds new tires in weeks — there is no version of this job that ends without us putting it on the rack.
How long does a leveling kit or lift take in your shop?
Leveling kits go in under two hours. A 4-inch suspension lift on a Tacoma, 4Runner, F-150, or Silverado runs about half a day, post-lift alignment included. Bigger 6-inch builds with brake-line extensions and driveshaft work take a full day. Walk in or call (916) 913-8786 for an exact estimate on your truck.
How long is the drive from Carmichael?
About 10 minutes from most Carmichael addresses. Easiest route is Fair Oaks Boulevard west to Arden Way, then a short jog to 2245 Arden Way. From the north end near Madison or El Camino, hop on Watt Avenue south and turn west on Arden Way. Plenty of parking on site.
Can you do staggered fitment on a Mustang or Camaro?
Yes. Staggered setups on the S550 Mustang, the 6th-gen Camaro, and the 5th-gen Camaro SS are common — usually a 19x9 or 20x9 front and 19x10.5 or 20x11 rear with the right offset. We measure poke and tuck, check inner-fender clearance, and spec the tire size to clear without rubbing on coilovers or stock suspension.
