I have a 2019 Tacoma Sport, and when I needed to replace the stock tires with all weather tires (mountain + snowflake) the ones they had in stock (and cheaper!) were 265/70R17 for my 17in wheels, no lift. They are awesome (Nokian Outpost AT 115T) with a nice aggressive tread and plenty of sidewall. One thing though - although this size tire is indeed 1" more in diameter, the actual 'lift' of the tire on the truck is only 1/2in. Not enough to throw out the speedometer by enough to really matter.
I have a 3 inch lift with 3 inches in the front and 1.5 inches on the shock with an add-a-leaf system which makes a it an extra half inch in the back to maintain a factory rake. It also has 285/70R17 BFGOODRICH KO3 tires wrapped around the 4Runner TRD Pro wheels that are 17x7 inches with a positive 4 offset. No rubbing whatsoever.
Dang, I was worried about running 265/65R17 duratrac tires on a 17x7 on my 2016 with stock suspension and +4 offset. But if you're rocking this setup on a 17x7 I don't think I have anything to worry about
265/70r16 to a 265/75r16. 1" difference will work for me. 1" I dont have to worry about the cvj angles and driver's side bearing and new rims. Toyo Discoverer AT3. Here in 1024.
I went with 3.5” in the front and 2” in the rear and a 285/70R17. I’m running a 1.5” spacer, did the cab mount chop myself and it doesn’t rub at all. I still plan to do a viper cut before I go camping just to be safe when I’m really pushing the suspension.
Thanks for the video, looking to upgrade wheels and tires on my wife's newly purchased17 tacoma. Putting a small lift in it first, but this is a big help, thanks again
Thanks for the research. I’m probably going to do the same thing you did. 2 inches in the front on my TRD Sport. 275/70R17 with Wildpeaks. Thanks again…
I’m still scared!!!! 😂 I plan on getting 285/75/16 ko2s. Stock wheels with 3/2 spacer lift. Wish me much luck 😂 thanks for the information I appreciate it
Hello Rob. I've seen plenty of large trucks running those rubber band tires. They don't even look good to me. Enjoy watching your RU-vid channel:-). Thanks for all you do!
Thanks for the great info bro!🤙 Just pulled the trigger on Falken Wildpeak AT4W's. 265/75/R16 On a stock 2019 Tacoma Off Road. Can't wait to get them! Your guide helped me choose the size. Thanks again!
I recently bought a 2018 Tacoma from a dealership and it already had a lift and wheel spacers on it, but it came with the stock wheels. The dealership didn't know any details about the lift height or any of that, so I'm not sure what I even have on my truck. So I guess I need to determine what lift and spacers I have before I go to get wheels and tires for it. Still a good reference video for when I do figure it out though.
I put on bigger tires on the first tire change. The only thing it hurt was the speedometer showed I was going a few miles slower than I actually was going. I heard it might affect fuel economy but I didn't notice a change.
@@RobMotive 235/75R15. This is for my 1999 Ford Ranger. I am looking at Tacoma or Tundra for my next truck. My wife drives a Lexus RX350 and I like the product so was looking to replace my truck with a Toyota product.
I remember guys back in the day in the 70s putting 40 inch Monster mudders on 15 inch wheels, and actually they didn’t seem all that bad, but it completely ruined the gear ratio it was horrible they didn’t have any power lol, just all for the looks!!
I have 275/70 R17 with stock TRD Sport wheels on my stock TRD Sport. No rubbing at all. Didn’t have to trim the fenders & I didn’t need spacers. But it is millimeters from the upper control arms. 😬
This is exactly what I was thinking for mine ‘22 Sport. I’d love to see how yours looks before I make the purchase. Anywhere I can check out a photo or two?
I guess another comment since I was off topic lol. So I am probably going to do the TRD factory lift, because when I purchased my truck I went out to the 5 year maintenance and 7 year drive train warranty. So the TRD lift will not affect any warranty and it comes with 3 years as well. That said, I do want to put TRD rims on and go with a more aggressive tire, maybe 265/75R16. My stock set up is 265/70R16. Don't forget, you start changing offset you also start affecting bearings as well.
Aloha and good evening Rob 🙏 ✨. Mahalo for providing this educational and very informative 👍 video. This is truly smart to making potential customers and modders aware on the maximum tires to use for no lifts and with lifts. You mentioned Titanic rims with very little tire tread wall. I've seen those on SUV'S and 4-door cars too in Oahu. Yet, a major pothole would give you a wonderful whiplash and a major busted suspension too. Yeah, I've seen those nutty mods as well. This is a terrific video Rob. 📹 Keep up the great work 👏 👍 💪 👌 🙌 😀. Miele Kalikimaka e' Hauoli' Maka'hiki Hou! (Hawaiian translation for saying "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!"
I’m confused by the chart a little bit….isn’t a 265/75 taller than a 265/70? It seems that according to the chart that the rim size is effecting the tire height. For example….how can a 265/75/16 be one inch taller than a 265/75/15 and also a 265/70/17 be taller than a 265/75/16? Or am I just wrong in what I think the tire sizes are?
Thanks for that spreadsheet - looks like 275/70/17 is what I am aiming for. Now the question is with zero offset and a 2/1 lift if any trimming is needed...
I watched the video hoping to learn if I could put 2nd generation tacoma wheels on my 1st generation Tacoma. I currently have stock 15 inch wheels with 265/75r15 tires. Can I put 245/75r16 wheels and tires from a 2015 tacoma on my 2000 tacoma??
@@RobMotive im on 285 75 16, 16x8 and 1.25 wheel spacers. Ive done CMC, pinch weld hammering, and viper cut. Being 2.7 5speed is my limiting factor. But i do have the itch to go bigger already. I really like the cbi offroad oversized fender kit with cab mount relocate.
Hello! I really congratulate you, excellent video, I loved it, I have spent almost 5 months looking for information about it and you have been the only one who has provided it. However I have a question. I have a 2023 Toyota Tacoma Limited with R18 of factory (265 / 60R18), and I want to change them to about 275 / 70R18 as you recommend in your video, But it was not clear to me if I should place a lifting kit for her or not, if this should be 2 inches, and if I should put spacers on the sides or it is not recommended. Can you help me? Thank you very much
Love your channel straight to the point no BS. I have a few questions I just purchased a 2023 Tacoma SR5 tire size 245/75R/16 I want to go up to 265/75R/16. i’m aware that I don’t have to use a lift for this set up. Now I want to go up 2 inches in the front and 1 inch on the rear. Do you recommend spacers, or Bilstein B8 5100 set up. The most off road it will see is visiting family in Vermont and Upstate NY in winter months where the snow will be deep , I live in hot ass FL so now off road here. I want to do the job right I want to know if the original shocks can handle the extra weight of the tires ride quality and dependability. If I can get away with the Rough Country front and rear spacers that’s fine if not so be it.
I went wild with my 2013 Tacoma . I put 285/45r22 . I don't feel it bumpy while riding . It does not rub after i removed the plastic factory mudguards..
Yeah, I think I've seen that list online before. Right now, I'm doing my homework on skinny pizza cutters, 255/80R17. Since mine is my daily driver, less road resistance and better fuel mileage may be the way I roll... LOL! 😎
265/75/16 with only a -6 offset and I get minor rubbing when turning on uneven pavement or when I have multiple people in the truck that weighs it down. I’ve been told to get a leveling kit to elevate this problem. It rubs on the front fender well when it does rub.
I am planning to add 3/2 spacers and put 285/70/R17 on my TRD Sport Stock Rims. Does anyone have experience on whether they will rub? I mainly drive onroad but in the near future (Spring/Summer) will be going on trails and gravel roads.....not any major offroading. In case anyone is wondering why that tire size, I was able to get 5 tires from someone with 3k mules on them for $100 each, couldn't pass it up.
@ken do you have factory suspension or are you using a lift? If a lift, what is your setup? I am looking at lt285/75r16 and wondering what/how I may need to prep the truck
What if I’m running 305/70r16 on a two inch lift-ish with no rubbing whatsoever and it pushes passed the fender flares, what could I possible run on my truck, do you think 33s on 20x12 wheels would work?
Can i buy new rims the same size as factory but with an offset? i just want a negative offset dont really wanna put a lift on it at this point. it s a 2022
I have a 2009 Tacoma TRD 4door 4x4 and need a pr of tires for the rear? I do need something for snow and winters here in New England but they will be used for highway driving as well. Simply... Could someone make recommendations for my truck that will not break the bank. Something mid range in price that will handle snowy roads and highways. Yeh I know. I should be figuring this out myself but a big tire chainbput me into tires with zero tread and they s$@k.
@@RobMotive great help! Someday I might lift my 2020 trd off road, but mostly just want to buy some BFG KO2s & if I can gain an inch for now I’d be happy. Thinking about keeping these wheels and tires and buying a set of black steel wheels for new tires, the factory tires do pretty good off road in mud and in snow, truck does amazing and with KO2s I think it’d be unstoppable. Thanks for making this video huge help, and thanks for telling us about the rub with your new tires you got, love that your honest and give us the truth about everything you install! Great content! Thanks again!
OkayRob, you got a sub and a bell ring. I have been seeing you vids show up (maybe because I am modding my Taco), and I plan to put the TRD lift on, as well asbetter tires and I like the TRD rims maybe. Research now, do it when I know. Thanks Rob for the great content. BTW driving a 21 Tacoma TRD Off-Road.
What changes when you adjust the offset? I have a 2”/1” level on mine and want to put on some 17” wheels that stick out just a bit further…. Can’t find the right tire size or offset yet.
Good Afternoon Rob, How are you doing? Well, I finally bit the bullet and had my tires changed from Cooper to Falken wildpeaks. Overall I like the look. I didn't go for the 275 70 17, only because I wanted to keep the gas aspects within the range. My question is that I went to Discount tires and after they mounted the tires, I noticed that on the dash board the tires gauge did not tell me the amount of air on each tires. How do I get it to show it? Take it in for a front end alignment? It rides well overall.
It takes a few minutes of driving for the truck to pick up the sensors. If you’ve driven for a while with no reading, take it back…something is wrong 🤔
@@RobMotive I went ahead and set up an appointment for Saturday afternoon close to home. The discount tire is 40 minutes away. Appreciate the response 👍
Great info rrrrroooobertooooooo 👌🏾like I said before I'm looking at some 16" black rhino "shogun" wheels with -10 offset for my 2012 and would love to put them on 275's but I'm guessing I'm going to need a lift at least 2 or 1 1/2 " in lift on the front probably go with the budget friendly bilstein 5100's, what are your thoughts?
I ordered a 2023 tacoma offroad and took the factory lift lit (2”front 1”back) i was looking forward to put 275/70R17 right when I’ll receive it.. your video just confirmed i can but what about spare tire? Gonna need same size because i will go off-road with it.. will a 275/70R17 fit underneath the truck as spare tire? Thanks
@@RobMotive Oh believe me I watched the whole video, I just want to make sure. You have one of the best comprehensive videos on tire size. I just want to make sure there wouldnt be any rubbing, or would it depend on the offset of the wheel? TRD sport tires have like +30 and I dont know if it will fit those 285 without rubbing on the upper control arm. Any help would be much appreciated!
Hey Rob, I put 17 trd rims and 265/65 17 falken wildpeaks on my 2015 trd offroad tacoma and it looks and rides fantastic!!, no rub at all. Thanks for the video!!
Hey man I got a 1998 toyota tacoma Ingle cab low I want to put a 2 or 2 1/2 inch I wouldn't like to look to high but like if it was factory lift what size tires and wheels should I buy that it wouldn't rub. Thanks good info by the way.
@RobMotive I notice u had a 2 inch In tge front and stock in the back is there anyway I can get sum pictures of your truck?? with rim and tires sizes I'm kinda new
Hi Rob enjoyed the video’ want to ask I have 16in stock wheels on my 2015 Toyota Tacoma can I go with a 17 in stock wheels and will I get the same smooth ride?want to go with 265/70R-17 tires,
I have a 2020 Tacoma utility model with the stock 16" steel wheels. Charts tell me 265/75R 16 tires will NOT fit. It looks like they will rub on the upper frame section. Any idea if this is truly the case. I want to go to the 265/75 size when I get new tires but not if they won't fit.
@@RobMotive is the video out on this yet? I’m looking to go 265/75/16 on a stock truck/wheels. On 2019 Tacoma SR. Wondering if that will do any rubbing. It should be fine right?
