    Mine: 3017 TRD OFF ROAD Access cab.
    Stock tires: 265-70r16
    Increasing to 265-75r16.
    Question:
    Given: no lift, no suspension mods. I understand no rubbing with with increase.
    HOWEVER....
    I do have mudflaps. Do the mudflaps create a rubbing situation at all with the sire size increase.
    Anyone with similar setup/experiences only please.
    Thanks.

    Not sure what a taco will be like in a thousand years but to answer your question, no, one size up will not cause any rubbing. You may see a slight change in gas mileage and speedometer reading.

    Thanks.Gas mileage and odometer being off 3% I anticipate.

    I went to this size for my winter tires with mudflaps and no rubbing on stock TRD off-road.

    If you keep the stock wheels you'll be able to run the oem mudflaps with no issues. If you get a more aggressive wheel you may run into rubbing. I'm running a 16x8 -12mm wheel and 265/75r16's on my stock offroad. I had to ditch the oem mudflaps for rokblox because of rubbing issues my wheels caused.

    Not every 265/75/16 is exactly the same size. There are minor differences between manufacturers, different tread patterns, and standard load tires vs E rated tires. But as a general rule, if you have any issues with fitment it would be rare, and they would be minor.

    I found that my speedometer was off slightly with factory tires, and the slightly larger 265/75/16's corrected the error. The odometer is off about 3% which isn't a problem. If you want to get a more accurate fuel mileage calculation multiply miles driven by 1.03 before dividing by the fuel used. I did not lose any fuel mileage.

    Well now I wish I'd known this before I bought my new Nokians. Ah well.

    I went from stock 265/70R16 to 265/75R16 10ply's with no issues. No rubbing, very little difference with speedo and fuel, nothing major. You're running the same width as the stock, Just going up from 30.6" to 31.6" basically 1 inch over all in height. I would recommend running a your PSI around 40 or they might feel like they are walking all over the road if you are going with a 10 ply tire.
