can you change to 265/75/16

okay so I'm wanting to put a heavier-duty tire on my Tacoma. I do a lot of outdoor stuff going over rocks and such and I was looking at an 8 ply or 10 ply tire but in order to install I have to go from a 265 70 16 to a 265 75 16. can I change the aspect ratio on a stock Tacoma without having any problems rubbing xcetera?

 

No... you'll die.

 

You'll be fine. I run 265/75/16 no problem as well as many others.

 

As long as I'm not in a Dodge I'm okay with it taczilla!

 

Thanks matmo. Pretty much what I figured just checking before I bought and installed

 

Welcome to TW! Yes that tire size will be fine. 285's rub not 275's

 

What about having to switch gear ratio? I have a 4cyl 03 prerunner... will it work fine leaving as is while going to a 75 from a 70.

 

Going from 265/70R16 to 265/75R16 is not that big of a jump. Your gear ratio will be fine. You will however, notice a decrease in mpg especially if you go with a heavier tire.
