265/70r17 and 17" wheels

1st truck not into off roading but needed a capable truck for New England winters. Been wondering is upgrading to 265/70r17 all terrain tires like Nitto Grappler and 17" rims doable on an SR5?

 

Yeah man you can. I have ran that setup on my SR5, just not Nittos specifically.

 

I put 4runner TRD PRo wheels which are 17" On my OR with 265/70/17 AT3W's and had a slight rub on the front mudflap. I can't see you having too many issues doing this. Some don't rub period.

 

Thanks, I've been doing the research checking what sizes fit had a feeling those sizes may fit, also wasn't sure if there was difference in stock ride hight between tacoma trims, most posts are for TRD's. I used Grapplers as example but not set on brand.

 

Check out my other post today. I have a Limited, which I believe is the same suspension as the SR5.

 

Thx Sweet looking Tacoma Red great color. I have mud flaps, looks back tire won't be a problem, front could be different story

 

Do the tires stick out past the fenders or flush? Waiting to get new tires and rims before looking into spacers for a wider stance

 

Flush if you have the factory fender flares and the offset of the TRD 4Runner wheels.



Tires are 265/70/17 Nitto TG on 17 inch 4Runner TRD wheels with a +4 offset, no spacer. No rubbing when stock, here it is with a 2 inch lift

 

I put 265/70/17's Cooper ATW's (115 - 116 load) on my Sport. No rubbing. AT3W's are Falken?

 

Yep.

Some rub, some don't.

 

Seems like front mud flip most likely spot for rubbing

 

Exactly. I removed mine and have 0 rub anywhere.

 

Some also rub on the front air dam if you have that.

Depends on offset and actual size of the tires. I've heard the Falken Wildpeak 265s run a little larger than your standard 265 tire.

 

Yep, I got Falken Wildpeaks on KMC Holeshots and they rubbed a decent amount on stock suspension. When turning down hill (putting weight on the front end), sharp turns (parking) and when reversing. I've lifted the front 1.75" and I still can't run the front mudflaps without rub. I was out playing in some sand and doin a sharpish turn, not too fast but not slow and got them to rub still.

For me, on my 2017 OR, it rubbed on both the mudflaps and the front fender thing

 

So don't get Falken Wild peaks if go with 265's. Is there a 255/70r17 tire out there?

 

A bunch, plug that size into tire rack or discount tire and see.

BFG, General, Cooper and Kumho all have that size.

 

I'll check it out... Technique are those 265's cause those bad boys wide unless it's the shadow that's making them look wider?

 

Just remove the flaps. Or get thinner, better ones. No biggie. The wild peaks are most excellent!

 

I got Falken Wildpeaks AT3 265/70/17 no rubbing it all, i really like them.
