Biggest Tire Size on a Tacoma/4Runner with NO LIFT! 

seems like the open hole is a good candidate for water/rust?

"Now what you're going to do here is pull this utility knife as hard as you can toward your face."

The rim/tire combination gave me more anxiety…..the whole thing looks like a disaster waiting to happen!

@Jacques do you even know how to do any of this..? I doubt it so don't act like you know what your talking about. Or how to be a decent human being for that matter.

@@tiffanylarcade9275 he's right, guy. tire doesn't fit. any degree of variation would cause contact doesn't even have to be off roading. could be going in and out of a driveway or over a pothole. there is not enough clearance.

LOL. Talk about chopping your shit up because you don't want to accept you need a lift and bigger arms if you want bigger wheels.

Any flex at all And this dude is having a bad day

Great looking truck.your wheels nice am contemplating lift etc . Gd info

PatTheRiot i would consider the biggest tire size without a lift without any body chopping or anything else. At that point just lift it. Now if you lift it and you want bigger tires, that’s when you can do mods to the body or get an off-road bumper but do the damn lift first lol

As soon as he’s driving on any road, smooth or not, shits going south on the first turn

But doesn’t it still look two inches taller when you see the entire tire? It’s what the eye sees.

@@boblafountaine9560 no, it’s only one inch tire like the nice man said. It’s 1” taller on either side of the wheel’s centerline. If the hub mounted to the tread then it would be 2”, but it mounts to the center so it’s only half.

One thing he neglected to mention was changing the size from a 16-in to a 17-in wheel as well as the increase of tire.

@@noisysounds4420 doesn't make ay difference. outer diameter is the same. math is hard...

@@mattgill69 it's not hard just involves a lot of variables that affect the look and ride. 🤷

@Jack Carlos if youre having to hack your girlfriends instagram page then you probably shouldn't be with her. Some of us here actually care about the topic at hand. Tire size fitment for Tacomas.

you all probably dont care at all but does anybody know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.

@Keegan Moshe it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my account !

@Lian Zayne No problem =)

An inch matters ask my wife 😢

Why? I’m just asking because I just got my Tacoma and wanted some beefier tires. Was assuming this size would work

I want to know too

Tires are too big. It will rip out your fenders once you hit a bump at speed

@Jamie It also depends on what width the tire is, what width the rim is, and what the rim backspacing/offset is.

Just admit you hate because you don't have a tacoma. You can't give a explanation to ur stupid comment

Im starting to think asians love their shit to rub on the tarmac, when the truck can't rub, maaaaan let's make them rubbers rub lol

PatTheRiot has nothing to do with being Asian, this guy is really cool and is always helpful.

Something to do with pie, idk what kind apple pumpkin pecan it don’t matter 🤣

Too funny but on point.

Yep, also, there is no load. As soon as that tire starts to stuff he’s going to rip that well plastic up.

The 32 inch tires is all you need

0 offset and stock suspension?

You think 265 70 17 will rub?

@@gabrielguardado1009 doubtful those are even skinnier

@@gabrielguardado1009 I run 265/70/17 on my 2018 SR5 with stock suspension and have no rubbing at all

@@Mrblitz1819 is that with stock wheels or aftermarket with a 0 offset?

Hahaha true

At least a cab mount chop with that tire size lol

I have 285/70/17 with a 1n3 level spacers on a 2017 off road. It rubs on the frame any sharp turn, into and out of any parking space and all angles in reverse.

Without a lift, any 285 tire will rub, especially in reverse, if you dont trim, and or do a Cab mount chop, been this way forever. Check any Tacoma forum, its the number one asked question, "How big of a tire will fit".

I was thinking the same thing, that’s going to more than rub when the suspension is compressed even a little.

​@donnieraines2066 mine have never rubbed in reverse on my 3rd gen pro. They only rub a little when turning travelling forward and hitting a bump. Not major enough to rip anything off because my truck is totally fine after some harsh snowy backroads and they've been on there 2 years with no modifications. 285/75R16.

​@@donnieraines2066i thought the consensus was that 285s will fit with no rub on trd pro models, and models with factory lift. My understanding is that the wheels need to be zero offset.

You can't put it up with the valve stem facing down, plus that means the face of the wheel would be exposed to debris. Also, the spare tire does not have TPMS.

The reason the tire is mounted with the valve stem facing up so if water or moisture gets inside of tire it will not rust the valve core. To solve that problem buy a 12" flexible valve stem and pass it thru 1 of the wheel openings put tire the way it should be mounted facing UP

@@Aroceen Not true

It is actually only a small piece of plastic that does not affect the functionality of the truck whatsoever. You only have to trim about an inch off of it and nothing is exposed behind that tiny piece of plastic. And we test-drove it to make sure everything clears.

when he drives into a freaking parking lot that is going to rub like hell, or down a slightly uneven gravel driveway.

Theodorski newkcomerski it will rub when off road. You're right on the 265/75/16, also 275/70/17 would work if you still want to be able to off road with them. Most people who are asking for this video do only daily driving

@@Runnin4Tacos well that's just lame making a video for mall crawlers

Good Video, mall crawler or not. If you are going to hate, hate on the owners of the truck.

Theodorski newkcomerski false

ran 255/85/16. never had any issues and i flexed out multiple times lol. The best and proper way to fit bigger tires to actually FUNCTION offroad is to infact trim and cut as needed rather than lift to think you need to fit the tire.

Looks like someone “rice” up your mom. Pat the prick.

It was probably your offset. With my 285s my tacoma didnt rub at cleghorn, or at sandstone canyon. No cab mount chop nor plastic cutting. I did have the alignment shop adjust the caster though. This was at 0 off set. Once i changed rims though the offset was -25 and that made my tires rub on everything even with the alignment, thats when i needed the cab mount chop and very little molding with a heat gun for the plastic. Its all on the offset with 285's 👍🏼

You think 275s would rub?

Your offset and and wheels (how wide are they) are a huge part of it. Offset changes how tires fit in the truck and how wide you go on your wheels will change how the tires fit on them, so it will also affect how flat or round they become at certain pressures as well as how much bulge you get on your sidewalls, which translates on the rub you can expect between the tire and the suspension components too. Always remember that the way your tires fit only apply to your exact setup (mods, wheels, offset, suspension components, suspension wear, specific tires, etc)

Are those 32's? Not a conversion expert

@@jtec99 33s my friend!

@@CanadianOffroad4x4 nice, got a 2" spacer lift and 2" block in rear. That get me anymore flex clearance?

@@jtec99 technically not with a spacer. Your suspension is limited to by what you're running. It will flex as much as it can. You won't have issues

@@CanadianOffroad4x4 thank you buddy, and the 255s will fit on stock Toyota rims in assuming? Have the trd off road year 2020.

Don't forget the rubbing when leaving the mall bump LOL

I would rather build a mall crawler that can wheel but dont wheel. And. Only lightly wheel it on dirt roads. And then buy a quad a dirt bike and a side by side and wheel the shit out of them like i did. These trucks are way to expensive to buy a 2020 trd off road then buy new tires and rims and shocks and re gear it and get a 6 inch lift and a super charger. These are all things you must do to propey wheel it and do the kind of wheeling i do. If you dont then all you are doing is ridding through puddles calling it mudding riding on dirt roads calling it hitting the dunes and driving 100 yards down a groomed trail illegally or at a track and saying u are trail riding. Yall pussy cant off road as good as i can.

Gsfbffx Pdhhdf yeah I mean I off road in my truck but shit all that gear you said is mad expensive to go off roading with the right mods to not fuck your truck up and it still might happen. But like you said suspension sliders and other armour lifts tires wheels are all so expensive. That’s not even including recovery gear and bumpers and lights if you choose to do so. I have a sr5 4runner with just the trd skid plate on it and bigger tires. Can’t afford an off road suspension or sliders or anything else right now.

@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043 sometimes u need to to take your truck to a off road location . Your trucks carry all your supplies so u can go in deep in the trenches. That way u willnhv two vehicle for off road insted of one. More is better right?

@@andyham6094 when u say off road suspension , what are u refering to. Because all lift kits are off road suspsension, just some are better but u can get some cheaper ones and it does the job just fine.

Not all 33" tires are true, depends on brand. 255/80/17 Cooper under 33" and 285/70/17 Goodyear actual 33". As for rubbing depends on rim offset. Even 31" with huge negative offset will rub. 285/75/17 is over 33''!

tom thorn how about 275-70-17 on stock ?

I currently have 33" tires on my 2019 tacoma with stock height with minor trimming, no body mount chop and it doesn't rub while off-roading... and they have 1-1/4" wheel spacers on my truck too... they fit, as long as your okay with trimming fender liner

What size life do you recommend? I have an 07 Tacoma and want 285 70 17 tires 😁

2ZZGE5.56 I would go with a 3” if you want to comfortably fit, but your going to need a cab mount chop reguardless, I’m at stock ride height on those same size tires with a cab mount chop and I have no rubbing issues even at full flex

I think he said meso customs

Mine rubs a little under turn +flex. 2018 OR 255/86r16 ST/Maxx. I would still suggest them though. 285s will rub a lot as you obviously know.

How about 17 inch rim

I have a 3' lift and can still get 255/85s to rub under certain situations...

I have the BFG AT KO2s and they don't rub at 265/70R17 on TRD rims. They look great and more importantly the 265/70R17 is a common size so you don't pay a fortune for the tires. I was just over $800 for the set on sale at my local warehouse club.

285/75/16 Nitto terra Grappler on trd pro wheels on sr5 2019 dclb. Stock pro set up

Lol. Flat roads only.

Exactly

Yup and method is a big part of that scene..

265/70/17 that is the biggest you can go with stock

Agree. Function over looks.

That’s on the stock rim ?

@Sucki Tumi Did anyone respond? I did see a guy I think he said 275/70R /16 He said gave him one inch tall and he put a 2/2 lift for his trailer

265/17R 16 is all you want any bigger you need a lift and gear ratio change. Congrats!

noice i might try that

Yup I put 265/75/16's on my 2020 & no issues. Then I got stupid & put a 2/1 lift. Spacer/Block. Every 6 months I had to get alignment & it had a wobble in rear. Live & Learn. I got 2023 trdSport recently & I may leave it stock & just go tad bigger tire.... Or I may go Bilsteins 5100 adjustable shock/strut set at 1 on front & Bilsteins on bacK. No block. So it will be leveled & not much different geometry then factory. Then I may go 275/70/17 on stock wheels. Shouldn't have any rub or cutting..... Lifted Tacoma's look sweet BUT it comes with a pricetag. Even if you do the best of the best be ready for issues. It's almost a guarantee.....2/1 lift did very little to MPG. Bigger tires WILL reduce MPG by 2/3+ MPG

Umm, thats the standard factory size on the Tacoma Trd Offroad. My 2022 came with those. Maybe you meant 285 instead of 265, since 265 is normal/stock size.

@@Eastsidegeorgiaboy True, stock width is 265, but my point was about the series, 70 vs 75. 285/70/R16 is basically 32's, but depending on the offset most people seem to rub going that route without a lift and cutting. At the time, I wanted to put the highest series on stock tires and stock height without rubbing or cutting. Now I have 265/70/R17, no rub

Royax Tabs, that is the funniest comment here- brilliant in fact. Lmao

There the same size as what comes stock on a trd offroad.

Have you tried it yourself or you happen to know?

Agreed, this is for a street driving who wants to do trimming. I mentioned do 32s otherwise

Ric Flair and gears too

I'm very very worried about all these things too. I'm not a gear head what can you do? Or nothing you just have to bite the bullet?

GoproZack on older stuff there was a small gear u switched on a cable from odometer to the transmission. I don’t know what u do on digital stuff. Maybe flash it with an aftermarket code or something? I don’t know 🤔

texasmetal83 lol

Hi I have a 2020 Tacoma TRD off rd 4x4 do you have a pic would like to see it. I want to keep my stock rims for now and get the tires but not sure it work Peter.bears@yahoo.com could you send a pic?

@@papabear007 I will work on pictures, If I cross a high curb will get a small rub. 88 rotors say with a 1.5 add aa leaf and a 1" spacer it won't rub at all. But I want the softer ride and no higher. Works for me

@@philipsoucie3015 Thank you ! I was thinking about 2inch leavening kit if that would help hmm

Do yourself a favor, and don't. Unless you want to hack your truck to shreds, lift that sumbitch.

With what size wheels? What was the backspacing? And the offset of the wheels?

JPRATT537 17X8.5 backspace 4.3” offset -10

@@craiglange3039 that offset and backspacing is the reason you're getting rubbing with the 27570. That size is usually one of the sizes that doesn't need much modification to fit. At least on the 4runner

@@craiglange3039 also those things combined with the size of the wheel.

@@craiglange3039 That is exactly why you are rubbing. Its because of the negative 10 wheel off set you have. I have the methods NV 305s 0 offset. I had an alignment done to my 28575R16s a bit bigger than the 28570R17 with KO2s and i did not rub at all. Even when i went offroading in cleghorn, azusa. I had no rub at all. I do have a 2.5 inch lift tho. Adjusting the caster forward helped remove the rubbing completely tho 👍

Ignacio ornelas you won't be able to with the front camera

Taco Twonz thanks for the reply!

yes

Have you upgraded to this size?

kaitlynn saenz We showed that 285s will fit with some trimming and we also mentioned that if you don't want to trim you can do 32s instead.

@@Runnin4Tacos yea you guys forgot about when going over bumps. the tires are guaranteed to rub still when hitting the slightest bumps in the road especially on the offroad eddition. the suspension is much springier

Amritt Villa wrong.

@@BlackGT1999 Oh you don't like the way the tires look. Is alright... That would be a subjective kinda thing.

@@BlackGT1999 How is @Amritt Villa wrong. you're effectively lifting your truck 1.05 inches with 33s.

Do u think I can run 305/65or70R16 on my stock 2007 taco with the stock trd rims?Serious question!!!Thank You in advance

@@BlackGT1999 My brain has cramps after all those numbers 🤪

Tom A exactly why I haven’t gone bigger.

rob the elder exactly, most people who are asking us for the biggest size are also saying they are only driving on road. But definitely would rub when off road

Taco Twonz how about when just turning normal into a drive way will the rub ?

@@tokitone Guarantee it will rub with any articulation. You could get a little more aggressive on that trimming to reduce that rubbing though.

I'm running 275/70/17 on a stock DCLB OR and it rubs on full crank in reverse gear and turning into driveways. Aggressive trimming trimming of my fenders too. Thumbs down for this video.

Pete Fairhurst Yupp ended up cranking the fox up one more inch I’m in the clear now

Thank god someone else caught this lol... Understanding the diameter of a round object apparently slipped his education or it’s a magical tire that keeps all 2 inches between the wheel and ground at all times while spinning 😂😂.

Changing tire size from 31 to 33 inches will raise the ground clearance by 2 inches.

Steve Cabacungan ...... the diameter increasing by 2 inches does not add 2 more inches of clearance, the tire is ROUND and the vehicle rides the center of the wheel not the very top of the tire so just think about that for a minute. As the first poster mentioned the average person would think that it would add an inch but you have to take in account static load radius which can decrease or increase clearance depending on the type of tire due to softness/hardness. I/e why some new tires sidewalls bulge more then others.

Steve Cabacungan A good question to help understanding this for instance. If going from 31 inch tires to 33 inch tires adds 2 inches of ground clearance as you say then why doesn’t 31 inch tires give you 31 inches of ground clearance? Which brings us back to the tire being round and the vehicle being supported by the wheel in the center of the tire not the full 31 inches of diameter.

Steve Cabacungan 1”

Hi brother you think you could have gone up one size ? What you mean by that sorry I’m trying to upgrade my wheels also not sure which to go for . I wanted ko2 285/70/17 but I’m sure they will rub

Gabriel Guardado Actually, the 265/70/17 (31 inch tire) just fits without a lift. If I were to go larger, it would be better to get a lift. Yep, the 285's will definitely rub. The KO2's are dope.

I’m thinking of getting the KO2 275/70/17…. You think that will fit? I have a stock 19 trd sport. It does look like it has a slight lift 🤷🏻‍♂️ maybe an inch lol

what rims did you go with ?

how have your tires held up? I'm interested in going up to a 265/70/17 on my stock '23 Tacoma. Any problems with rubbing at all?
