3rd gen Tacoma tire question

I have a 2019 Tacoma SR double cab short bed V6 4wd. I like the look of the fat 16” tires but would like to eventually change the steel wheels to something better looking . My factory tire size is 245/75R16. I am looking at a set of take offs from a TRD Off Road that are 265/75R16. Same sidewall aspect ratio (75) so they will be a little taller as well as wider. Will these tires create any problems since they are taller and wider than the factory tires on my SR? Has anyone done what I am considering? Thanks.

 

As factory Off-Road tire size is 265/70-16.
Changing your tire size to 265/75-16 is no problem.
They’ll fit your truck just fine.

 

265/75-16 fits. It is as big as you can go without rubbing.

Well, can also fit 255/85-16 without rubbing.

 

Yay a tire thread!! Thought we might miss having one (or seven) this week!

 

I have 265/75/16 size in snow tires on stock 16” off road wheels. No rubbing or issues at all. Have OEM mudflats.

 

They will fit. You speedo will be off a little.
TW has a calculator. Compare your current size to the new size.

But, will a 4” lift affect my use of 325x40xR12 tires? Will it rub when I’m stopped at a no left turn sign?

 

Will not rub but will scrape your calipers.

 

So you’re saying maybe to a 3” lift?

 

maybe if you remove the calipers you'll be good. Who needs those anyway

 

Drums are better anyways. Get the Pelfreybilt front drum conversion kit. Think TacomaBeast carries it.

 

Function over beauty, I like it! I think I saw those on RobMotive’s channel...

 

I heard Pelfreybilt is hard to get a hold of, but if you just send them the 50% down, they will get back to you.

 

That is a good thing though, right? They will be “right size” when finished the finishing process. There was a Red Green episode on this if I recall correctly.
