    I have searched off and on for several days and cannot find a definitive answer but will 255/75r17 fit on a stock 2nd Tacoma off-road or will I need billies up front?

    That is sort of the dilemma. It's not quite half an inch taller but they're not as wide.

    Stock for the TRD OR is 265/70-16 TRD sport is 265/65-17. Those sizes are 30.6" OD, 255/75-17 is 32" OD. Chances are you'll need a little lift up front.

    Thanks for the responses. 265-70r17 was my second option but I like the tall skinny look.

    Sub'd because I'm curious also. I have 265/70/17 on my 08' with stock suspension. Very little rub, I mostly notice it during a sharp turn and into a dip. Was thinking 255/80/17 or bigger after I get some 6112's. But not sure how far I can go before needing to regear.

    I've got 5100's at .85 and 7/8s block/shim in the rear. FJ steelies showed up today and need to order wheels.

    Here's how it sits with 265/75/16's

    You probably wont need a regear for a while. My 1st gen taco was a 4 cylinder 5 speed and pulled 33x12.50s pretty good.

    Looks good. Its just hard for me to believe noone runs 255-75r17(32.1x10). You can buy jeep rubicon tire takeoffs which are 255-75 fairly cheap. I just wonder how much lift is needed to fit them before I start buying stuff.

    How was mileage? I plan to do basic suspension (bilstein 6112) before I get new tires. But by then I may end up going 255/80/17.
