    I have the TRD pro wheels on my 2016 tacoma trd sport. which is a +4 offset. The orginal TRD sport wheels are a +30mm offset.

    Can you run 275/70/17 KOs'2 tires with out any rub on a stock suspension? and I wont need spacers?

    275/70/R17 KO2s only come in E-load and are significantly heavier than C-load 265/70R17s (1" larger than stock). So for the 0.25" ground clearance difference you would experience, possible rubbing, loss in power, loss in MPGs, loss in braking, harsher ride.

    I usually tell people 275s are a sucky size. You get all the drawbacks of 285s while not really gaining anything, other than 0.25" of ground clearance.

    Perfect advice!!! Stay 265/70 for a much happier ride.

    Another option if you want the 32" (275/70/17) tires in a C load is the 255/75/17 KO2.
