The SKINNY on skinny tires

Yea the BFG's spec's are 32.8" and the Toyo's 33.5", just slightly taller. Mounted on the truck the Toyo's might be slightly taller given they have a stiffer sidewall as well. Will do on the pics still waiting for lug nuts to arrive...

 

If I ever get aftermarket wheels, it will be Method 701's. I'm interested to see what 255's look like on them.

 

Did some research but rather ask the pros, so:

I have 265/75r16 tires (w = 10.4”)
I want 235/85r16 tires (w = 9.25”)

Do I need new wheels??

 

I suppose that that depends on what wheels you have now.

maybe these ^

got the truck used so not 100% sure

 

Those wheels are 9" wide, and the 235/85/R16 AT and MT tires I just looked at on DT all were spec'd for 6.0-7.5" wide wheels.

 

The tires I got 265/75r16 the rim width range is 7”-8”. Understanding. Appreciate the help

 

If you're currently rolling on 267/75r16, Those are definitely not the wheels you have. Maybe the same style, but not the exact same wheel. Those are a 20" wheel. They're also 8 lug. The wheel in your picture looks like it has 8 lugs, but I guess that's just the center cap? Tacomas have six lugs.

Assuming that's the right style (

$217 MO970 17X9 6X135/5.5 G-GRY BLK LP -12MM - MO97079067412N

MO970), then it looks like you have a 16x8" wheel. I don't see the Tacoma bolt pattern (6x139.7, aka 6x5.5) listed in a 16x7 on Moto Metal's website.

There are probably some identifying markings cast or machined into the wheel that will tell you for sure.

 

I currently have 265 70 16 toyo AT2 and was wondering if I would be able to run the 255 85 16 in the cooper st maxx without having to cut anything or change any parts I am running the eibach pro lift kit and have a major gap in the wheel wells. Or should I go with a 265 75 16 just want to go with with right option.

 

(255/80-17's) Had to remove the front mud flaps.

 

I have all of my flaps removed so I don't think I will have to do any trimming just wondering if I have to worry about clearance on the upper control arms or anything

 

I have 255/80R17's and had minor rubbing on the plastic where the mud flaps attached to the inner fender. Could have solved it with alignment, but I just cut it off.

Edit: I'm at stock height, so you may only rub there at full stuff.

 

I ran the 255/85R16’s on a stock OR. Worked great, only rubbed on the mud flap.

 

265/75/16

 

I have had my Tacoma 6 days...added 255’s today and really like them

 

Lug nuts delivered today! Hope to have everything mounted up Monday

 

Joining the skinny club soon. 255/85's.

 

Post up pics when you get them on!

 

What size?
