3" lift tires

I'm getting a 3" lift for my 2019 Tacoma TRD sport and I can't figure out what kind of tires to get. I've got the stock 17's and plan to stay on that but want a bigger tire with no cutting or rubbing. I've read other threads but they were confusing because I don't know anything about vehicles. I want to sit up as high as I can without having to do any cutting.

 

Why do you want to be high?

Rule 1. Never spend money on stuff you know nothing about. Do your research and learn first so you make good choices. Otherwise you'll likely buy twice.

How did you pick 3" ?

Do you know what impacts that may have?

 

My reasons are stupid. There's nothing wrong with my Tacoma, I just like the feel of a full size truck so I thought maybe a 3" lift and some bigger tires would give me a little bit of the feel I'm looking for.

 

Welcome aboard ?

 

Trade it for a 3/4 ton.

Its the only way.

 

I don't want to trade it in. I've seen some nice Tacoma's with 3" lifts and bigger tires but I've never driven them so idk if they are experiencing rubbing or any other trouble so I figured I'd come here and get some ideas.

 

265/70/17 will fit with no problem.

 

What about 285's? I heard the 265's ride smoother but I don't know anything about it. lol

 

285's you are opening a world of trouble at least for you according to your post. You will have to modify stuff for that, i might be wrong but i believe you can go with pizza cutters 255/80/17.

 

Since you said no cutting or rubbing. 265/70r17

 

Not really. Except when you are parked next to a stock full size and feel about the same height.

Ride wise feel? Nope.

255-80-17

Full 33" tire, no lift, no rub, no cut. Several threads around here on the topic.

Keep in mind lift doesn't really do much for tire clearance. Wheel specs (diameter, width, backspacing) and actual tire size (aspect, diameter, width) are the keys.

 

if you never go off road or completely cycle your suspension you can totally get away with 285/70/17s

 

Won’t 285’s rub on stock wheels?

 

Welcome! I bought my 2017 SR5 with 265/70/17’s on it. They fit fine, with no lift, no rubbing, should be the same for a 2019 TRD Sport. Also, you won’t lose the mpg that you would running 285’s, if thats a concern.

 

OP, FWIW, if I could do it over again I’d get pizza cutters instead of my 285’s.

 

Pizza cutters?

 

You should ask @SJC3081

 

The stock tires for the TRD sport is 265/65R17, so I thought I could go bigger with a 3" lift with no cutting and no rubbing.

 

if no budget and not cutting yourself these are your two options. if you want 285s you'll be paying to play and cutting, too.
