Largest tire before needing to change the gears

Hi all need some advice on tire size i am about to purchase a Icon 3.5" lift . I have a 2015 tacoma trd or it has 265/65/r16 wondering how big of tire i can run with 3.73 before i need to change the gears i am a noob here any advice would be awesome.

 

265/75/16

 

Would a 275/75 be to much for stock gears!"?

 

Itll work, youll feel it. U can run 33s on stock gears.. again youll feel it.

35s and youll want to start considering regearing.

 

Like silver said, once u hit 33's (285) you'll start feeling it, but you'll be ok. The 4.0 engine and 3.73 will handle it, but in case u don't know you're about to lose some mpgs. Personally I wouldn't regear unless you're running a lot of weight, like an overland setup or you go up to 35s

 

I do plan to overland but I'm going to stick to 33" with a Lille more weight a good roof rack and sliders thanks for the help I think I'll pull the trigger on the 285s

 

Make sure you have proper offset/backspace wheels. Cab mount chop more than like required for 285s

 

I will look into that thanks for the help all.

 

Can't go wrong with a 285

 

Go big or go home lol.

 

Man im looking at lifts is their a all in one 3" lift besides icon with uca that you would recommend for $1800 ish.

 

Is that icon kit everything you will need no other parts like diff drop brackets or uca http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/ICON-stage-2-Tacoma-suspension_p_407.html
just curious i have been thinking about this kit.

 

You can do what I did but with an add a leaf vs the full leaf pack in your price range or do a complete OME kit with leaf spring packs and uca's. I purchased from Wheeler's off-road and JBA. Headstrong is also a good vendor to deal with.

 

Ya i plan to save a few bucks buy ordering light racing uca from wheeler off road they are with in 25 min drive from me lol.

 

Check my build. I'm running 285s with stock gearing and a lot of armor. Still feels pretty good. But I'm also running Konig countersteer off road wheels. Each wheel is only around 19lbs if I remember correctly.

 

I was wondering about this as well. I'm just running 265's but have sliders & 1/4" steel skids and going through Montana my truck would seriously bog down on some of the longer climbs on I90 through Bozeman and Butte. I could not maintain even 45 miles an hour without being at 3300 rpm

 

I'm running my BP-51 kit with 285 75 16s and you def can tell you're pushing a larger tire. Going to regear with 4.56's

 

Ya i plan swap to 4.10s or 4.56 when i have some extra money.

May as well do a front locker while you're at it. About $3400 w/ labor

 

Ok all finally got lift wheels and tires on thanks for your help.
