255/80/17 Owners Experience

Are any of you running these on stock sport wheels by chance? Trying to figure out if a spacer is going to be needed!

 

Let you know in a few days... Still waiting for them to come in Haha
I have 1.25" spacers I might throw on just for looks due to the narrower tire. We'll see

 

Any updates on the ride quality on the LT255/80/17E? I would love to get a set of these Cooper tires, but I am afraid that with my Icons and an E load range tire, my Tacoma will ride like a dump truck. Also, has anyone measured the diameter of the 255/75/17 and the 255/80/17? As mentioned in another thread the specs on the 255/75/17 are .4 inches shorter than other tires in this size.

 

subd very interested in this size.........

 

OP hasn't reported back. He must not like them very much...

 

He updated the OP in August and seemed to like them so far...

Check out the other few threads if you want some feedback

 

Still waiting for those bad boys to come in?

 

Delivered today! Going on tomorrow 8am

 

Awesome, bet your happy. I'll touch base with your throughout the winter to see how you like them.

 

Really like this size! Looks great on the truck! Only a day on them but I'll update with a review. Running my ST Maxx at 35psi all around.

 

You guys think the 255/80/17 would fit on the Baja suspension setup without rubbing? or would I have better luck with just sticking to the 255/75/17? Currently im running the stock BFG AT 265/70/16 (I believe that's the size).

 

I'd go 265/75/16

 

Yeah, that's what I probably will end up with, looks like they are a lot cheaper then the stock 265/70/16 which is weird. I would like to fill my wheel well up a little more but I don't want to lose functionality. Thanks for your input!

 

Yeah no problem, it will give you a bit taller tire. It will still look sick and I find that's the perfect size for that suspension setup. Plus, you have the sick fakelocks right?? Those wheels are sick and I'd never trade them!

 

Yeah they look good, just a pain in the *** to keep clean!!!

 

any update on 255/80/17 on the stock TRD Sport wheels and rubbing?

 

I had to trim a little plastic after putting on 255/75/17. My truck is lifted about 2 inches. The driver side tire ribbed the Bushwackers where the mud flap would be when making a right turn. If I had mud flaps, they would need to come off. I would guess the 255/80/17 would cause some rubbing.

 

Which wheels for 255/80/17's?

I am looking at getting the level 8 mk6 17x8 wheels which come with a 0 and -10" mm offset option. Which would avoid rubbing better?

Well they're ordered. Decided to go with the 0mm offset / 4.5" BS 17x8" wheel. Here's a photoshop I did to preview what I think the new combo will look like along with the new 2" lift that will be going in (should be correct proportions, tracked my pixel counts based on the outer lip diameter of my current wheels).
