    Just wondering...Why do so many people run 70 or 75 profile tires instead of 65? I understand why if you drop down to a 16"??? ...But if your staying with a 17" why not just go with the stock tire size?

    Well my truck came stock with 245/75/16 HT tires as the SR5 has the smaller mini van tires I went with a taller wider tire stock 16s I think are 265/70/16 I personally wanted to fill up the fender is why I chose the 75 and planed on upgrading the stock suspension and didn't want the off road package as I do very little true off road driving once in a while camping/fishing at the beach or mountain and didn't want to pay for something I was going to take off anyway

    Ok...that makes sense...i thought that keeping that tire to fender gap was a big reason...I'm just a weekend warrior myself...no rock crawling experience...just playing around in the mud! I see a lot of downsizing to 16's! I'm guessing that the more flexible sidewall helps the tire grip rocks better!?!?

    Yes more sidewall helps in off reading so I have read here I would never put my new truck in any type situation where it might get damaged but to each his own I couldn't sleep at night if I thought my truck had even gotten a scratch from some idiot in a parking lot I try really hard to keep things looking new as long as possible:thumbsup:

    Might be but it's not 1 1/2 like some I have seen the double cab has a lil more weight so maybe that's why it looks close to level to me haven't put a tape measure on it

    Everything I've read (and the measurements on my own) were around an inch (mine is a little less). Don't get me wrong, your truck looks great!

    With 265/75/16 no rubbing even with air dam but it's pretty close with my 16x8 4.5 back space rims. im pretty it's pretty close to tire size you are looking for the size you want is just a little bigger by a small margin.

    Just took measurements on mine again, measured from center of hub to the bottom of the fender.

    LF- 20 1/4"
    LR- 21 3/4"
    RF- 20 3/4"
    RR- 22 1/4"

    So the left (drivers side) rear is 1.5" higher, right side is 1.75". I'll throw a taco lean spacer on with my 5100s.
