biggest size AT tire i can fit

XxMalfunktionxX · 09-30-2007, 03:57 PM

Ok im gonna get a 2.5 in Readylift Spacer Kit for the fron done tomorrow and I am gonna keep my stock 17 in wheels that came with the truck on and just get bigger tires..

My question is..does anyone have an 07 that they did this too..so i know what tires to go out and buy..more so the size than the brand..Readylift is doing the lift on the front..i have heard of a few sizes..so im tryin to fit the biggest that will fit safely and correctly..i was told a 285/70/17 might be the golden one..or if anyone knows otherwise..please let me know..thanks and ill get pics up as soon as everything is done

i think some people w/ 285's complained of rubbing in hard turns...there are plenty of other topics on this

with a 2.5" lift you can probably run 33's (285/70/17) on an aftermarket wheel. something with a 4.5" backspace with some wheel well, fender trimming. however i believe the stock rim is like a 5" backspace so there may be a bit more rubbing including some on your uca's. so a 265/75/16 should work with stock wheel. thats a 31.6" wheel

ya i got 17's and do NOT plan on getting aftermarket wheels i wanna stay with the stock ones..so if 285/70/17 will work then thats what i will get prices for..please confirm..i know there are other topics i just am busy right now and im checking this from email replies..thanks guys..pics will be up as soon as all this gets done!

You need to get spacers and longer lugs to keep the factory wheels. I need to sell my READYLIFT spacers still new in box for best offer. Paid $250, asking $200. Thx.

I was trying to do exactly the same that you want to do on my 2008 Tacoma TRD Sport, but during my research I found out that you will have some rubbing problems on the inside, some people recommend wheel spacers, but there is people that don't recommend them, so is up to you if you want get spacers, but without the spacers I dont think that it will work.

well i have a 2007 acc cab sport with 3" lift kit and 285/70-17 with original rims and no problems yet , also i had to buy a 1" spacer for the front it cost me $182.00 . i bougt it from ez-lift . extremetrucktoys.com

08Tacoma · 12-17-2007, 10:36 AM

Did you put any wheel spacers??
What kind of tire do you have???

hans17 · 12-17-2007, 03:33 PM

yes i have spacers of 1" and i have 285/70-17 cooper tires

hey malfunktion..

I have a 2008 TRD Sport Dbl cab, I installed a 2.5" Toytec Front Spacers, and I wanted to get 285/70/17 tires on stock wheels at the beginning, but on my research I found out that I needed to use 1" wheel spacers, so I decided to get some new wheels, I ordered some procomp wheels 17x9 series 608, when they got here I went to the tire shop and try on those 285/70/17 BFG All terrain, when they mounted a tire I was having some rubbing issues with the mudslaps and the plastic of the front, maybe if I would have made some trimming on the front plastic, and remove the mudslaps there would be no rubbing, but my main concern was that the front bumper was to close when turning, so If I want it to go off roading I would probably have some big issues with that tire, so what I ended up doing is buying some 265/70/17 BFG AllTerrain and they look great.

I hope these helps!!!
