To lift or not to lift....wheel/tire questions

I have a question for all of you who have gone from stock 16s to 17s on your truck. I have a 2011 Tacoma Prerunner that came with stock 16s on it. I'd like to move to a 17'' setup but I am not sure if I would need a lift at that point or not. For those that have done it, would I need a lift?

I am sure this has been asked thousands of times as well. If I went with 17s, what would be the largest AT size I could go with w/o rubbing? Would spacers be a good idea? Thank you in advance.

 

If you currently have 16 with 265/70/16's on it, and go to a 17 inch wheel with 265/70/17 no mods will be needed

 

I believe what came on the truck are 265/65/16 but I understand what you are saying. Thank you!

 

Do you have a TRD Off Road?? If so it came with 265/70/16

 

No sir. Non-TRD SR5 Prerunner.

 

Ah thought those came with 245's but none the less no lift needed

 

Besides most likely removing front mud flaps and maybe some minor trimming on the plastic inner fenders depending on offset...

 

Hmmmmmmmmmm not something I have ever had to do. I have always had Sports so it came with 17's at 265/65/17 and I jusped up to 265/70/17 without issues on OEM wheels.

 

If it's any consolation, I am looking at 17 TRD Wheels. The slotted six spoke kind.

 

OEM, right, probably fine. Aftermarket with different offset can require the trimming was what I meant

 

The Black Wheels

 

Yes. SEMA.

 

Agreed when I decided to go aftermarket I needed to take off the flaps
