Will 275 65 17 fit?

Truck is 2008 Tacoma Double Cab Prerunner (no lift, yet)
Hi, I have done research and havent seen to many people with this size set up, so ive decided to ask. ive seen alot of people say 265 70 17 is the largest you can go with out a lift but what about a 275 65 17?
here is the tire comparison from stock


and here is the comparison between 265 70 vs 275 65


The 275 65 17 is smaller by .53
but the width is wider by .39

The tires i want to run is the Yokohoma Geolander A/T (ive head really good experience with these, got them to do well over 70k miles before changing them out for age rather than wear) and also this rim. should i have any problems?

This is really hit or miss. Never heard of anyone running that size but I know some guys are running 275/70/17 with some minor trimming. Most with this size are running at least a slight lift but I saw one guy that was stock height and he only had to trim a little. So You "should" be okay I would think.

 

i would check the current tire you have at full lock either direction and see id its anywhere close to rubbing. this may help give you an idea.

im in the same situation for tires but i didnt think of trying this till reading yours. hope it works

 

I see the thread has a fair number of months gone by. Has anyone tried on the 275/65R17 yet? I have stock everything on my '11 sport 4x4 (17" wheels) and am either going with the 265/70R17 or 275/65R17 with A/T tires (not too agressive tread).

I am interested to learn what anyone has determined. My full size spare has 95% tread on it and checking either lock direction sounds like a good strategy.

 

Always wondered if taller tires made a difference in milesper gallon. After buying a set of stockToyota wheels with 265/75/17 I decided to keep track of the mpg to see if itmade a difference.

Set one. Sixteen inchstock alloy wheels with stock Dunlop 245/70/16 tires. 14 city / 18 highway over 2500 miles

Set two. Same 16”wheels with Michelin 245/75/16 M/S2. At32psi 17 city / 19.5 highway over 25000 miles.At 40 psi per sidewall 18 city/ 21 highway for 5000 miles. 30.5 diameter.

Set three. Stock Toyotawheels from Texas Edition with BF Goodrich 265/75/17. At 32 psi 14 city / 16highway for 2000 miles.31.5 diameter. These tires were mushy, wandered and pulled down hill.

Set four. Same 17”Toyota wheels with Michelin M/S2 245/75/17. At 32 psi 18 city/ 21.5 highway.31.5 diameter. Took any doubt about the quality of the wheels away. Truck tracks straight and holds firm to the pavement.

Second observation. Set two was 5 to 7 miles per hour slower than the speedometer. The speedometer would read 75 when the GPSread 70. Set three and four were on the speedometerreading when compared to the GPS. I trust the GPS as I was always been slow compared to traffic with the smaller tires.

Yes the Michelin tires are for pavement use, but that is where I am 90% of the time. So here is thequestion, If the figured mileage of the 16” Michelin and the 17” Michelin is the same based on the reading from the speedometer, should I be going farther or the same distance?

Yes, I am getting farther down the road with the 17” wheels and tires. Maybe it is better gas, theway I drive to get the better mileage, the direction of the wind or who knows.Only more miles will tell.

 

I have never seen a 265/75/17. I think you may mean either 265/70/17 or 265/75/16. Otherwise I need to know what brand makes that tire size haha

So is your truck all stock? With those 275/65/17 wheels?

 

I put on 275/65r17 onto my 17 X 9 rims with a +1 offset. I have a leveling kit on it and it doesn’t rub at all and had to do no trimming. The tires were BF GoodRich KO2

Based on the two pictures, I would say the white truck above doesn’t have a leveling kit or lift on it. I would highly recommend doing a leveling kit if you are getting wider rims. 17 x 8 rims may be okay but maybe some trimming.

 

I have a 2006 tacoma stock ride height, I currently have 265/70r17 experience a little bit of rubbing in the front end when turning, as you mentioned up there the 275/65r17 are half an inch smaller so it wouldn't rub on the fender thing when turning I'd assume, one thing I don't like with 265/70r17 is that it looks too big for its width, like a bicycle tire
