What It Took to Fit 35s on My 2022 Tundra (Spoiler: Way Easier Than Expected

Hey Tundra Guys, I’ve been thinking about installing an auto-start/stop eliminator on my 2022+ Tundra. I don’t always hit the brake pedal hard or long enough to trigger the auto-stop feature, but still — I don’t like the idea of the engine shutting off every time I stop. Seems like extra wear, possible oil-pressure cycling, more stress on the starter, and just a general slowdown when I hammer the gas again. I found this eliminator on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4oq9AdQ — before I pull the trigger I wanted to see if anyone here has used one. If you’ve tried an auto-stop eliminator on a 3rd-gen Tundra: Did it work reliably (no random re-enabling or errors)? Any unexpected side effects — check-engine lights, weird behavior, performance issues? Is it truly plug-and-play, or did you have to dig into wiring / deal with fuse boxes / coding? Price is a little concerning for me — It is so affordable it makes me question. But if there’s a proven one that works clean on a 2022 Tundra, I’m all ears. Let me know your experience. Appreciate it.

Coming from my Tacoma build, I expected fitting 35s on the Tundra to be a nightmare. Honestly though, it was way easier than I thought. Here’s the breakdown:

Specs:
Wheels: ModCo M72 17x8.5 +0
Tires: Hankook Dynapro ATM 315/70/17

What Needed to Change (not as much as you think):

Minor trimming on the rear mud flap until no more rubbing.
Opened up the rear fender liner and unbolted the bracket holding it in place (two 12mm bolts). The liner stays supported by the remaining bolts.
Relocated the plastic brackets holding the front fender liner by zip-tying it forward to the crash bar. Pulled on the zip ties until it cleared completely.

What I think:
The 35s are absolutely worth it in an all-terrain. The truck looks right, drives smooth, and feels solid. The main reason my fitment was so easy is because I went with a 17x8.5 +0 wheel instead of a 9” wide or something with negative offset. That gave me just enough radius to clear without more aggressive trimming.

If I had gone -25 or a 9” wheel, I’d probably have needed to pull the rear fender liner further back and maybe even make some permanent changes up front.

For anyone on the fence — I’d recommend the 35s all day long. I’m also running some analysis testing right now to get real-world MPG data so I’ll have numbers to share soon.
