Tires

2007 Tacoma stock rims.What is the largest size tire I can use without rubbing issues or mods?? I am also going to get either 1.25" or 1.5" wheel spacers if anyone has suggestions or if that allows for bigger tire

 

Currently 265/65/17.
I was told 265/70/17 is the biggest.
I would love to see some pics of Cooper at3 with spacers if anyone has them.

Just to name a few...................................................

Answer: 265/70/R17 for your rims, otherwise 265/75/16 for 16's and 265/65/18 for 18's.

 

The wheel adapters/spacers are needed to avoid the back of the tire rubbing on the knuckle/spindle thingy. I have 1.25 inch adapters with 265 70 R17 tires. My tires rub but I have new mud terrain tires with 19/32nd lugs, among the largest tires you will find in this size. If you get AT tires, they will barely rub.

 

Thank you, 265/70/17 it is. Does 1.25 spacers bring tire even with fenders or do they stick out at that point? Not sure if I want 1.25 or 1.5

 

I have 265/75/16 AT3 no lift with 1.25 spidertrax spacers. I rub the mud flaps usually in reverse though only full lock. I can get a pic at some point. My tires are pretty even with the fenders.

 

1.25" spacers, remove flaps. Might have to bust out the utility knife and take out some plastic in the lower areas of the fenders.

 

I thought about taking my flaps off but don't want to deal with all the sand and salt slowly sandblasting the bottom of the truck during the 8 month winter we get

 

Spacers with stock backspaced wheels are only required to prevent tires with a section width larger than 10.5" from rubbing UCAs. Adding spacers changes the pivot arc of the wheel and tire by moving it outboard. That's how people end up with rubbing issues when their tires are only 32" and change in diameter (well, that and improperly done 3" lifts, but that's another thread). Moral of the story is skip the silly spacers.

 

or deal with the rub, it'll stop at some point
