Put 255/85/16s on stock OR wheels and suspension

You do exist! Haha I’ve been trying to find out more about these tires, but I haven’t found much on TW about them. What size are you running? Wheels? Lift?

 

Stock TRD OR DCSB V6 6MT, running stock rims. No lift, no added weight. With the 255/85R16, I get no rub in normal driving. The only time it rubs is on the mudflap at 3/4 lock, when hitting the brakes or hitting a bump/curve. I've heard removing the mudflaps fixes that issue, haven't tried it yet.

 

Fixes it 100%.

 

Has anyone had issues with the 255/85R16 as a spare on stock OR suspension with a rear diff skid plate? From videos it looks like this size comes quite close to the rear diff cover without a skid plate, but not sure if the relocation mod makes it work.

 

I don't have a diff skid plate, but the reolocation mod I did gives a fair amount of space, about an inch.

Here's before:


and after:

 

So, that's not even the same tire??

 

I can't say that it's the same specific individual tire; it is one of the five I have in rotation. I'm running Dick Cepek Extreme Country M/Ts in the 255/85R16 size; DC says they are 32.8" tall.

 

Not in the OR club, but I put 255/85/16s and an OME lift on my '19 SR5 this weekend. Hammered the spare tabs flat, and relocated the mount as shown earlier in this thread- hopefully that'll keep it from melting! Only 30ish miles on them so far, but it seems they aren't too different from the 265/75s I took off.

 

Is your front sensor working with the baja hoop?

 

Yes

 

That looks great.

 

Sorry for the late reply but thank you for the pics! That gives me some confidence since I think mostly the skid plate covers the front and sides of the diff.

 

I can’t seem to find a skinny 35” option... I comfortably fit 285/75/16’s with my Kings, Icon AAL, and body mount chop. Anyone heard or seen these?

 

Check out the 35x10.5 Kenda RT.

 

Here's a decent start point for you. https://ntwonline.com/tires/?tire_rim_diameter=16,17&tire_height=35&tire_width=10.50,11.50,12.00

 

I am/was looking at this option, there were like two types of Super Swampers...

 

That’s exactly what I want, just don’t know anything about Kenda, but they look good and don’t seem overly aggressive for my daily driving. Thanks for the heads up, I will definitely be looking into these more.

 

They're not SUUUPER skinny like those swampers, but the coursers are advertised narrower than most 35's (somehow) and I love mine in a 255/85.

 

looks like these are only available for 17" wheels...

 

Yup, door OP it’s a trade off between how much he is willing to cut and how big an issue moving up to 17s.
