    One more question, what size is the wheel/rim on my factory TRD sport? I see 17x7 with a +30 offset? Basically, I just need to know what to look for when I'm shipping for the new wheels. I'm planning on going with the 265 70 17 tire size. I wasn't looking to upgrade rims, but I did want black, and the buyer for my tires is interested in my wheels now also. Thanks for anyone that can help my figure out what to shop for.

    That is correct. My new ones are 17x8 with 0 offset. It sticks out the perfect amount.

    I swear by discounttiredirect!!! They even mount and balance for free if you order wheels and tires.

    Yeah, but the pics don't quite do it justice. Let me find one.

    So when I put in the specs for my truck at discount tire direct, it says it's a 17x8.5? If I get a 17x8 or 17x18.5, will I get rubbing? Also, does this wheel size then change the tire size I need? I was looking at 265-70-17

    If you're still deciding on tires... I've had my Hankook Dynapro AT-M in 265/75r16 for 45k miles and couldn't be happier. Just had to take the already failed mudflaps off the front on my 2008 to fit them. P rated tires so they're lightweight and ride really well. They're not noisy on the road at all. They're also really cheap.

    Not sure about if they can be had in 275 size, but just wanted you to know in case you haven't looked at em

    EatSleepTacos, are your tires the white letters or can they be mounted with a black letter option? Do they show tread design onto the sidewall like the Nitto Terra Grapplers? Thanks!

    They can be mounted either way! Your choice. There is some sidewall tread as well.

    The 75 is called an aspect ratio. The first number, 275 is the tread width. To get the sidewall height you multiply the width by the ratio/100, so in this case 275*0.75 = 206.25mm, to convert to inches divide by 25.4 = 8.12. To get the total tire height add up the sidewall twice plus the rim diameter, 8.12+8.12+17=33.24". That's just a generalization, and it's best to check the specs given by a manufacturer for the specific tire. Some tires will be wider due to sidewall lugs that aren't counted towards the tread width. That means that not all 275 tread width tires are 275mm wide, some are wider over all!

    275/70-17 will fit, lots of people running that size with stock suspension. There is an entire thread about it, just get an alignment and be prepared to remove the mud guards if you have those. If you have aftermarket wheels with more aggressive offset or use wheel spacers you might have some clearance problems, but stock wheels will be good to go.
