Largest tires on First gen Tacoma

Hi all,

What is the largest tire I could fit on a 15 inch rim on a 1998 stock SR5 without lifting it?

Thanks!!

How much cutting and welding are you willing to do? You could fit 35s

 

I think he's wanting to keep it stock if he doesn't even want to life it.

 

Maybe, never hurts to ask

 

Thank you, Current size is Size: 31X10.50R15. Wanted to see how large I could go on these rims without lifting it. I have 15 not 16' rims so this size would not work For 2004 and below Tacomas: 265/75/16

 

Use the tire calculator linked in the thread to determine the 15" equivalent.

 

How much cutting do you want to do

 

You can fit 32s and not rub depending on your wheel backspacing. 33s will require pinch weld trimming at least and probably some lift.

 

Fotey fo's.

The largest size tire you can get with no rubbing and no other modifications is printed on your door sticker. i.e. whatever size it came with.

My 265/75r16's (*barely* larger than stock, a ~31.9") on stock rims rubbed (the frame) even with more than 1" or lift.

Also keep in mind that most lifts don't change IF a tire will rub, but WHEN it rubs.

Put on bigger tires without other modifications and you'll more than likely rub the tires somewhere. Where and how much depends on a lot of factors. The rub I had certainly didn't make it undriveable, but it was pretty annoying in parking lots.

 

What do you mean, "life it"?

 

Typo. I meant "lift" it.

 

OMG. Sorry about that. Of course that's what you meant.

 

You're one of our sharper knives. So is a first gen truism or something?

Because it doesn't appear to always apply to 2nd and 3rd gen

 

Correlation or causation. Not sure which, lol...

 

I found this site... Looks like the largest I could fit on the stock setup is the current size 31/10.5/15

 

Dis man

 

As the other mentioned, you can't go much bigger than stock. People lift to avoid the rubbing but I don't like that band-aid, if you are actually off-roading then its going to get really bad.

I'm on 31s with spacers (Tundra brakes) and had to do the pinch weld mod. I'm barely lifted though- my Icons are at the Icon factory pre-load + weight of my front bumper- the ride is great though and the droop range feels awesome when pushing it. I do want so more lift/compression room but I won't go much higher to retain a good amount of droop. There is still some minor rubbing so I'm going to have to do the tub mod (cut into the cabin, make a piece of metal plate, weld in).

There are people here that will fit big tires and big lifts and make that sound like a fix, but IMO if you can't cycle your suspension while turning, its still a fail.
