In today's video, I talk about my experience of fitting slightly oversized tires on my Toyota Tacoma--specifically, about the different modifications that are required in order to get a 285/70/R17 sized tire to clear without rubbing or with very minimal rubbing. I also swap out my tires for my smaller-sized ones at the end.

Seen one of your short vids, and it reminded me of when I got my daughter her first car; it needed brake pads so I taught her how to change them herself, ( she found it also needed new rotors ). She was so mad at me for telling her that she needed to do this before she could drive it. Fast forward 15 years, and she called me to say that she had a flat tire on her jeep on a back road, with her two young son's; and the few vehicles that came down that road; just passed her by. She then told me that if I had not made learn how to change her own brake pads; she would have never known how to safely change the tire herself, ( her husband was deployed at the time to Afgan during OEF ), and she thanked me for putting her through the experience or she would have been stuck. Peace

Excellent video, Chloe! I wish somebody had done a video like this when I lifted my 2016. This is the best 285 clearance video I've ever seen by far.

@bizzboyht6196 Год назад

I stayed with 275/70/17 Toyo open country’s simply because I drive a lot and gas mileage is important. No rubbing at all the truck rides very smooth. I have a 2 inch lift and I just put on Dirt King upper control arms. I think 285’s would be cool but these trucks lack power and are very thirsty. So good luck to all of you out there.

@flyingdingoIV Год назад

Could you run the 275s without upgrading the ucas?

@bizzboyht6196 Год назад

I think it is possible. To run 275’s without new UCA’s. It is recommended to change the UCA’s when you lift the truck so no lift no need to change.

@dalvenp Год назад

Do you rub at all during full locks or hitting bumps? 2in front is the back raised up at all? Also did you have to do any CMC/BMC? I'm deciding to go with 275 or 285 to avoid any major cutting. Thanks!

@bizzboyht6196 Год назад

@@dalvenp no no rubbing, no cutting. I don’t have a lift for the rear. I have a 2 inch suspension lift in the front. I went with 275’s cause I drive a lot. Remember Toyo tires aren’t as wide as Wildpeaks or KO2’s. So if you go with those tires it might rub. I like the Toyos over the Wildpeaks because the toyos are 41lbs and WP were 51. Let me know if you have any other questions.

@rodthecollegeguy Год назад

I run BFG 285/70/17 with 3.5” coil over lift, uca, and full leaf spring replacement from RC. With -12 offset the tires rubbed so I switched to 0 offset Method wheels and no issues at all. Would definitely suggest never going with block leveling kits due to the horrible ride.

Another thing about bigger tires is that i cant find anyone to recalibrate the PCS system. I had to disable it after i got a new windshield because nobody could recalibrate the PCS with the added height. Wish Toyota would address this instead of advising customers to disable the system

@rastersplatter Год назад

285s are great on a Taco. My setup. Method 704 matte black, 17" 285 KO2s, leveled a TRD offroad (Pro Comp Nitro 3" Leveling Lift Kit), no cutting, no rubbing. Plan on replacing the Nitro 3" kit with back leaf springs + Fox 2.5 Elite on all 4 corners + upper control arms. Will keep it almost the same height as my current 3" Nitro level (+ or - a 1/2"). To be completely honest, 275s with this same setup would probably work better for my use case. O yea, great video Chloe.

@pollxxv Год назад

I've spent more time doing research on suspension lift and tires than any other mod that I've done for my 2022 OR. Because I don't do major off roading and just like to do trails, I went and got the TRD suspension kit done since my truck was still under warranty. So it was a 2 inch in the front and 1 inch in the back. I went with Goodyear Wrangler Ultraterrain 265 75R 16's for the tires. Bought TRD 16 inch wheels with a 0 offset. The whole setup works great for me but the research I did was exhausting. I still have that itch to go up to 285's, but then I see videos like this and other people wishing they had just stuck with the tire size I have.

@dekcarc Год назад

You could have used that size tire both on and off road with no lift and OEM wheels.

They clear when it sits still, take it out and you will find it will rub when flexed. Atleast mine does, but i dont have those fox shocks tho.

@brokenwrench404 Год назад

Exactly. You can simulate it by going full lock and up a driveway faster than normal

@mattlewandowski73 Год назад

While you can go larger if you want to throw a ton of money at your truck, 35" tires are the most you can reasonably put on the third gen Tacoma. A stock TRD Off Road can handle 255/85r16 (33.1"x10") tires on the stock wheels with MINOR rubbing when flexing in a turn With mild suspension lift (up to 3 inches) ye can mount 285/70r17 (32.7"x11.2") tires (by this point, brake upgrade is a good idea, but not essential. Always start with front brake upgrade I know the rear brake is a drum on many Tacomas, but the front is the majority of your stopping power all things equal) With 3" suspension, cab mount relocation, and some wheel well modifications you can fit 35" tires. ($1700 for ARB suspension, $750 for C4fab wheel well and cab mount modifications (can be done cheaper if you want to do some mods yourself), $200-350 per wheel plus $420 per tire) (by this point brake upgrades are strongly recommended)

@justinvanbibber6234 Год назад

If you’re planning on doing serious off-roading where you’re using the full range of your suspension, you WILL need to do some extensive cutting on 285’s, even on 0-offset methods. Fender liner delete, CMC, and pinch weld flattening minimum. Once the suspension is fully compressed you lose all the benefit of the lift and will rub, guaranteed. See @overlandoutfitters video on the subject of IFS suspension compression and oversized tires.

@justinvanbibber6234 Год назад

In Chloe’s defense she did mention that she didn’t do any off-roading in her testing, and that is a KEY callout in the video.

@eduardosanchez7827 11 месяцев назад

Actually, most of the time you can install 285/70/17 tires on a stock or slightly lifted Tacoma/4Runner/FJ as long as you keep the stock wheels. Many people say it will rub the UCAs but it’s actually not true. About the lift, you don’t really need the lift until you replace the wheels. BTW, I have a lift, UCAs, 0 offset wheels, removed mud flaps and trimmed a little inner fenders… but the first argument is true on most Tacos

@troymcmahon4067 Год назад

What lift do you have on your Tacoma with your 265 70 tires?

@esoskratos26 Год назад

Thanks for sharing this! what is the largest sized tire you can put on a stock suspension? I've currently got the 245/75r16's. I don't plan on putting a lift kit on it just yet, but when I do I'm looking at a 1" maybe a 1.5" lift.

@eduardosanchez7827 11 месяцев назад

For sure you can go 265/75/16 with no lift. You may even try 285/75/16 but you must be sure you have enough clearance for the UCAs. There are many different wheel sizes and it’s actually the wheel offset and width the limiting factor, way more than the suspension lift. I would put a lift if you want a “mild off-roader” unless you actually want to install a top quality suspension lift (Icon, Fox, etc). For most people the best way is to keep it stock and install larger tires

@esoskratos26 10 месяцев назад

@@eduardosanchez7827 thanks man that was helpful. Mild of-roader is what I want to keep it as, for the time being at least.

Question: 285/75 r16 does it's still rubbed with 3.5 inch lift

@davidshields302 Год назад

You should change your gears when going to 285’s and certainly upgrade your brakes. Upgrading the brakes is the most important modification as you will have a noticeable increase in braking distance with 285’s as Toyota designed the braking system optimized for a smaller tire. But you know that as an engineer.

@deviance8973 Год назад

What brakes would you recommend?

@alexs825 Год назад

You don’t need brakes. Driving safer will make a bigger difference. Increase following distance

@davidshields302 Год назад

@@deviance8973 I’m not a Toyota guy so I can’t make a specific recommendation. Brembo, Alcon, StopTech and others of that caliber are all a good choice. I’m a desert racer and have had good luck with Wilwood - good technical support - I have had sponsorship from them so factor that in my answer. Wilwood is very affordable.

@scottgorman7166 Год назад

Since you did a tune with the 265's and added a larger set of shoes your tune will be off a bit. Did you consider this as you mentioned a "bit of a lag"? I believe if you keep the 285's' on the Taco it should be recalibrated for the larger tires. BAT....bis ass tires!
