285/75R17 Perfect Size on 3rd Gen

The title of this thread is:
285/75R17 Perfect Size on 3rd Gen

 

The rim you are looking at is styled off the 4Runner Pro OEM Wheel. Most likely you will not find it in a 16inch as 17inch is the required size because of brake clearance on the 4Runner.

 

That's strange, this is the wheel toyota advertise for tacoma trd pro in their website. But thanks for the info! If it's only available in 17, I will go with 17 it looks very nice.
BTW what's the best ture with 17 inch without any rub u can fit it. No lift and stock suspension, no plans to lift in future.

 

@adarshbm
That looks like the current Trail Edition wheel and a version of it will end up on the new PRO.

I believe the trail edition wheels are 16 but may only come in bronze from the factory

Probably looking at 255 75 17 0 offset with no mudfaps in the front

 

So I haven’t read all 56 pages but skimmed some. It seems for the wildpeaks at least, that the 275/75 tire is a class E load only at 65.5lbs per tire. I’ve read it’s not recommended to run a e load tire on the Tacoma. Why is that? And also why would a C load tire weigh more than a E load at the same size?

 

E load tires are heavy duty, they can handle more weight, higher psi and are less prone to puncture.They tend to weigh more, ride rougher and don't fold as well when aired down especially on a lighter vehicle. Not sure about the weight discrepancy.

 

First, you don't need E rated's payload for a Tacoma. Yes, E also has higher ply rating, however I've seen E rated tires also cut sidewalls (watch your tire placement off road). As far as ride quality, personally, I have a Jeep TJ that use to have 32" C rated, and I went to 33" E rated (same Goodyear MT/Rs) and I noticed no difference in ride quality, and my TJ feels road conditions a lot more than my Tacoma does. I went with the E rated simply because that's what the 33's were.

However, if the same size tire is available in C and E, I'd go with C to save some tire weight. I'm a huge believer in saving weight however you can.

 

Just had a Trail Edition Tacoma come in when I was leaving work and it does have those 16inch Bronze Wheels so they are new for 2023 models. Looks like it is a "SR" part, special request part, currently so not sure if you will be able to get them from a dealership yet. Lot of the time when they come out with these wheels on factory models they put them on restriction for over the counter sales and leave them strictly for qualifying request from dealers or bodyshops, etc. There is a form that needs to be filled out and submitted to Toyota for approval.

 

I’ve had the C rated 285/75/17 Toyo AT3s for 2 years now on my old 4runner and they ride very smooth. I was running 315/75/16 D rated Goodyear MTRs for many years before, and I immediately noticed how much softer these Toyos ride even compared to Ds. No complaints, will probably buy them again.

 

Thanks for the info! I happened to be in Portland today and asked a dealer here since I could save some sales tax but the dealer is asking $395 a piece so I guess I will wait for few months.

 

The E load only in the KO2 is a drawback for sure. Toyo AT/III has a C load option

 

The interesting thing is Toyo shows the "C's" only a pound less than the "E's".

 

agree

 

Sorry let me explain again. So it seems a lot of guys say the 285/70 tires looks small say on a lifted 2-3” with coilover type setup. I was just using Wildpeaks bc that was what I planned to go with and what a lot of people recommended. 285/75 looks bigger but it’s only in a E load tire. But why is the c Load heavier in the same size?

 

Very interesting bc a wildpeaks a c load is heavier by 5lbs

 

Sorry, I missed your question ... wow, that is odd C is heavier?!

 

Yeah look at my screen shot on falks site blob:https://shop.falkentire.com/bd756c7c-c268-446f-80c3-6e3f77692c96

 

Your link doesn't work, but I also see that's what Tirerack also says. Go with E!

 

I'm trying to do this setup on a budget. I'll obviously will need CMC and fender trimming. I'm wanting to run 285/75/17's on a 3/2 spacer lift (until I can afford a suspension lift someday). I don't believe I've seen anyone on this thread run these tires with a spacer lift. Will this work? Second question, I am wanting to run my stock TRD sport wheels (+30 offset) with 1.25" wheels spacers, will this give me enough clearance from the stock UCA? (I'm hoping with 1.25" spacers, I'll end up at -1.75mm offset), or is an aftermarket UCA a must? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
