Silicone on roof rack bolts during installation?

285/75/18 with 18x8 Wheels on a 4th Gen Tacoma

I put on 285/75r18 Yokohama Geolandars on 18x8 American Outlaw Wheels. I was not too sure how the American Outlaw Wheels would look on the 4th Gen but I think they turned out perfect! I am running the Westcott Designs leveling kit to clear the 285/75 tires and they clear perfectly. It raised the rear 2.5" and the front .75". The wheels are +25mm offset and they don't poke out past the fender much at all. If you are not wanting the stance to be super wide I would recommend doing +25mm offset. The Yokohama's are perfect for daily driving and off-roading. They were perfect down on the beach and in the mountains. I have never had Yokohama's before and I really like them so far.

I would usually put a silicone on under the bolts during installation but I noticed the 4G taco has an OEM tape around the holes that seems to seal everything when tightened down.. anyone else know what I’m talking about? Should I take it back apart and add some?
