265/70/16 vs. 265/75/16

Doug88 · 10-05-2009, 02:44 PM

for stock wheels/ride height whats the best choice?

98tacoma27 · 10-05-2009, 02:49 PM

from the online tire size calculator

I'd go with the 75's.

265/70R16 is the stock size for TRD Off Roads. 265/75R16 is the largest tire that can be put on without having to trim.

I made the switch from 265/70 to 265/75 on my stock wheels and its been great! I say go for it

07TacomaDan45 · 10-05-2009, 10:22 PM

So to firm this question up... You can put 265 75 r16 tires on the stock STEEL WHEELS right? and have no rubbing?

NraFan · 10-08-2009, 07:36 AM

Correct! Thats what I have on my stock TRD offroad and have never had a rubbing problem.

What kind of tire are you running. mt/at or street. Also how were your mpg's with the bigger tire 265/75/16.

madyota · 10-10-2009, 07:39 PM

Yes do tell! Considering the same thing!

bodhizafa · 10-11-2009, 09:45 AM

I just signed up so I could follow this thread. Started looking at new tires and was thinking about the 265/75. Love to know anyones opinions on mpg, acceleration etc. I'm worried that my little 4-cyl. won't be able to run them.

Also anyone running Goodyear Duratrac in that size?

06dak · 10-12-2009, 12:24 PM

Also wondering the same thing... seems the 75 series are more popular (and therefore less expensive).

Also, if you post fuel economy, please specify if you placed a factor in the mileage for the larger tires - they rotate ~7% less

I went from 265/70/16 to 265/75/16 moto metal 951
I had to remove the front mud flap and trim some of the front plastic

PropJet · 10-12-2009, 07:58 PM

I too had to remove the mud flaps and do some minor trimming when I went from 265/70/16 to 265/75/16. Moto Metal 955's with the Goodyear DuraTracs.

bodhizafa · 10-13-2009, 07:46 AM

How do the DuraTracs ride? I'm going to check them out today, seems like the would be loud on the highway. I need something that can handle Vail snow and Moab sand but still be ok on the highway

You won't rub on the stock wheels with 265/75/16 tires. Aftermarket rims have different offset and backspacing and do run the risk of rubbing.

True.

No rubbing when using 265/75/16 on stock wheels.

When I put in wheels with 4.5 backspacing, it rubbed at full lock. That was even with 1.75" lift. I lifted it some more and solve the problem.

Note: At 1.75" lift, it rubbed in the front. Maybe I could have just solved it by increasing the caster angle.
