Tire Options

ok guys. Just picked up a 2018 Tacoma trd off-road in quicksand on Monday. Getting the factory 3/1 leveling kit on Friday and want to go to a larger more aggressive looking tire (285/75/16) but keep the stock 16” rims. Any suggestions? I’m a picture guy if anyone can post pics of there tire/stock wheel setup that be greatly appreciated. Also if anyone has a problem with the same setup as mine rubbing. TIA!

 

You can run a 255/85/16 without a lift and rubbing but I think on the stock TRD-OR wheels you may have some rubbing with 285s. However it looks like on the stock TRD-Pro wheels you can run 285s without any rubbing stock.

Yes but will it rub with a 3/1 leveling kit that’s being installed?

 

You need a different offset to fit the 285s. I think off road wheels are +25. You’ll rub your UCAs

 

This is kindve the look I’m going for

 

Thinking maybe cooper att pro or toyo rt. But would like to see if anyone has them in that size on a lifted truck with stock 16” rims

 

So I am new to truck mods. Can someone explain to me the 3/1 leveling kit? Is this something that others say is only for looks and doesn’t help with off roading?

 

I’m no professional that’s for sure lol. I was told it is 3” front and 1” back leveling kit.

 

3" up front 1" in the rear lifted. And yes, unless specified, the dealer 3/1 lift is just spacers, no benefit to offload.

 

So the front of the truck is currently lower than the back?

 

Ok. So if you wanted something to help in off roading what would the equivalent be?

 

Not that I can tell. But I saw a couple trucks at the dealer already lifted with the same lift and it looked real nice. We’ll find out Friday

 

Ok. I also like the look. Wondering if you can ask if the lift demenishes any of the off road ability you currently have with your off road trim.

 

New suspension, not spacers. Adding spacers is pretty frowned upon around here because its a really cheap thing to do to your brand new truck. If you want to lift your truck, you should get new suspension/leaf springs to do so.

 

Back to the tire question. Does anyone have 285/75/16 on a truck with stock OR wheels?

 

Sorry, not trying to dis on you in my previous post, do what ever works for you. Just saying that's the general consensus around here on the forum.

 

Also sorry. Didn’t mean to hijack your thread.

 

No issues here, had leveling kit spacers on my f150 for 4 years with no issues. Works for me. Was just trying to get back on topic of the tires. Trying to get it figured out before the weekend if at all possible.
