New to Tacomas, AT tires, and the forum.

Heeeellllooooo everybody. New guy here hoping this forums vast knowledge will help me with me wheel and tire decision.

Wheels are going to be Method Mesh Black. Problem is do I want them in 16s or 17s. I hear 16s fit cheaper rubber but I have no idea.


Now when it comes to tires I guess I have been reading a lot about 3.

Nitto Terra Grapplers vs Toyo AT2 vs General Grabers

I have stock suspension but plan on getting a lift in the future (25-40k miles). I know the 265/65/17 and 265/70/16 will fit just right. Just thought I would see what some opinions are on a configuration.

 

Think about getting the 16" rims. More tire sidewall and less rim is better for off road.
For tires, you'll find the most practical size is 265/75 R16. That size will work with stock suspension and still look ok with a lift, not to mention there are a lot more tire options in that size since it's more common than the 265/70 R16.

 

Edit: double post fat fingers

 

I went with 265/70/17s and they seem to fit fine.

 

I think I might go with the 17s for right now. I already have some tires for em and I think i could get discount to just swap em out for me.

 

Yeah 265/70/17 rub a little on my truck but only when i drive fast into driveways. what can i say i like to drive my truck like a truck haha. but id say 265/70 is the biggest you can go without having to lift anything more and youre gonna have to lift. i have the method 105 beadlock 17" and toyo open country as far as mud tires go theyre the most quiet on highway that ive tried out.
