wheels & tires help needed

I have a 3rd gen tacoma with a 3.5 inch lift to it and right now I'm running stock wheels and tires on it. They're just way too small and look disproportionate. I need a help find the right setup that looks good and is also functional for what I do. I like to go off roading and camping in the mountains where I live every now and then and I would love to do it more but the tires I have are limiting. It's also mu daily driver and will be putting a ton of high way miles on it.

 

with a 3.5 inch lift I'd go 285 70 17, but thats me. If you want something easy to fit - for wheels, around 8 inch width with 0 offset and for tires 255 80 17.
I like the 285 in a C or D load, its lighter than a 255 in E load, helps with mpg and a wider tire looks better to me. You have to do a couple things to make 285s work but its easy and pretty minimal.
this website shows a fair amount of tires in the sizes your looking for.

 

@tacoN00bx18 tires are a product of compromise and can do some things great while falling short on others. Most forum members that are wanting a daily driver with some off road ability would recommend Falken Wildpeak AT3W or even Toyo R/T Trail. I would agree with @DavesTaco68 in regards to the size wheel and tire. That's a solid recommendation.

 

We have lots of wheel options you can check out here on Tacoma World.

I'd recommend a 17" wheel in a zero to -12 offset and a 285/70/17 C rated tire. I've been very happy with my Toyo Open Country AT3's. They're pretty quiet and smooth on road, are relatively lightweight and are capable enough for mild off road use. They also balance very well unlike the Falken Wildpeaks.

Lots of colors and styles to choose from with wheels, but something 25lbs or less and hub centric will be ideal. The oem 17x7" Toyota SEMA wheels and SCS offerings are popular.

 

Are the Falken Wildpeak AT3W’s good and reliable? I’m looking for decent tires but don’t know a lot. Let me know if those are good or if you recommend something else, thanks!

 

Welcome to the forum Cosmic!

The WildPeak A/T3W is a solid tire model that does work out well for many. It's also a very popular model run by members here on the forum.

Tires are a product of compromise though, so it's important to pick a tire model that delivers on the performance attributes you prioritize for your driving conditions and needs. If we can help make a recommendation for you, please don't hesitate to shoot us a DM
