    Tires can very an inch depending on manufacture. And....tire sizes are rounded to the nearest whole size. A 32.5" tire is considered a 33......a 30.6 is considered a 31" etc....

    Tires can make a huge difference...I went into discount and had em roll out a 265/75/16 and a 285/75/16 just so I could see the difference and WOW!!! 285s are much bigger! Not only wider but taller too

    Wheels and Tires: 17x8" Ultra Goliath wheels with P285/70R17 Falken Wildpeak AT3/W tires, Suspension: Fox coilovers set at 2", TC UCA's, 1.5" lift 3 leaf pack with overload left in Other: TRD SS exhaust, Pioneer AVIC 4100 H/U with Android Auto (awesomeness), sat radio bluetooth, Accessories: Toyota roof rack, black Toyota running board steps, cargo divider, weathertech floor liners, Literider roll up soft tonneau, thule bars over tonneau, USB ports front and rear, seat heaters, birddawg mirror riser Cosmetic: window tint, grillcraft black mesh upper/lower grill, vinyl armrest in doors, Clazzio black seat covers with blue stitch, Redline steering wheel wrap Lighting: fogs only mod, back up lights, amber interior accent lighting, amber 10" LED light bar in hood scoop, 33" LED bar behind the lower grill, amber lamin-x on fog lights, Tacomabeast headlights and matching tails.
    275/60R20 is a 33" tire

    285/75R16 is a 33" tire (32.8")

    First number is the tread width in mm
    285mm/25.4 = 11.22 inches wide
    Stock is 265mm or 10.5" wide

    Next number is aspect ratio (wall height as a percentage of tread width)
    285 * .75 = 199.5mm or 213.75/25.4 = 8.4 inches

    Last is the wheel diameter R16 or 16" diameter
    For total tire height you need to add the wheel diameter and 2 side wall heights
    16" + 8.4" + 8.4" = 32.8"
