285 or 265

Getting 1/2" top plate and 1/2" shim on the truck and getting new tires. The choices are:

285/75/16 KO2s
265/75/16 Nitto Ridge Grapplers

What would you guys recommend? I go wheeling and and worried about rub, but also worried the 265s will look too small..

Thanks

Do the 285's the 265's look too small.

 

Heres how it sits now with ko2 265s



Worried about UCA rub and having to heat gun the wheel well.

 

255 85 16? Usually no rubs with those and actually a tad bigger than 285s

 

This calls for the tire calculator! Lol

I entertained that idea for a little, but I think they are a little thin for my liking :/

 

Spacers or rims to clear the uca's. Heat guning the plastic is no biggy, no one will know but you.

I ended up with 285s as well. They just look right. I didn't want to push the wheels out but has to be done. And I like it when in the ruts off road a lot better. That extra inch really gets you away from the wall

 

I'm hoping the trd pro rims have enough offset, also hoping to avoid cmc

 

You might want to consider a regear in the equation too. It dosent bother me, but some people don't like the new final ratio your bigger tires give. The expense makes them switch back to smaller tires.

Autos usually notice more than manuals, I just thought I'd throw that out though.

 

Yeah probably wont regear with the manaul. I've heard the jump from 32 to 33 isnt super noticeable

 

Yeah, I don't notice till I'm going to over 70 with my speedo only reading 64. Lol the Garmin is my speedo now.

 

With that little bit if increase 265s will look fine. If you go with 265s no need for a speedometer calibration, extra weight, no need to put extra stress on the already weak breaks. Bfg's flat out suck at being perfectly balanced, Nittos are sweet, however I'm super impressed with the Toyo Open country at2 SL, light and barley took weight. 60k mile warranty and ride for 500 miles if you don't like them return them. The toyo tires are an awesome all around tire.

 

Sick, what lift are you running?

 

Bilstein 5100s and one inch rear block
With 1/4 shim for the taco lean. Looks like your running the sema 4r wheels. You going to need a 17 inch tire not 16s.

 

285s and your going to need to remove the mud guards. It will rub.

 

I like the look of 265’s myself. 285’s look like balloons on these trucks to my eyes. Very little to be gained, and a lot of downside to the bigger tires.

My ride on 265/70/17. No spacers, OEM TRD 4Runner Pro Wheels.

 

Any lift?

 

Looks good!

 

Yeah Im leaning 265s, not sure if 1" is worth the potential rubbing and stuff
