    Speaking of Kendas price drop alert in the 33x10.5x17s Klever R/Ts at Walmart. $241 per -- now I am really considering these despite the 61lbs

    I have the same size wheel coming for my 23 Pro. With those dimensions, I'm debating on what size tire to run without rubbing.

    Negative offset "undo" a lot of the clearance benefits of the skinny tires. If that helps.

    Think I'm going to go with 255/70r17's for them.

    Why? 255/70r17 isn't really a skinny,and it's so close to 265/70r17 which is a pretty standard option.

    I have the OEM stock Trd OR 16” wheels currently with a set of Geolanders. Is it worth upgrading to 17inch wheels? I really like the TRD pro style. Just daydreaming now but doesn’t hurt to learn a little.

    Don't want to rub or upgrade suspension. What else would work to meet those conditions?

    You may be over thinking this, or overestimating how big those sizes are. 265/70R17 is the size recommended for completely stock trucks. Even with - 10 offset I only really see you rubbing on the mud flaps.

    This is my 1995 Toyota Tacoma that I bought in 1998. I have been building it out slowly for a few years now. I have followed several threads on the skinny tire. The latest upgrades are the wheels and tires. I bought the wheels 3 years ago and just got the BFG KM3 255/85/16 tires mounted. What a difference. I was afraid the -12 offset (OEM +15) would stick out too far. I like the wider stance and the skinny tires. I have the stock fender trim but would like some fender flares. If anyone knows of some for sale, please let me know.

    Edit: And HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

    Nokian is the company that literally invented the winter tire. They're the real deal.

    Can anyone confirm the fitment on a 2022 SR 2wd 2.7? Stock steel 16" wheels. Will 255/85/16 fit, or should I go 235? Thank you

    I figured everyone in this thread would be extremely interested in this. Credit goes to @TacoPandaTRD for finding it.

    *Allegedly*, Falken will be releasing a 255/85/16 flavor of the AT4W and it will be C rated.

    I’m not sure my heart can handle a C rated 255/85/16 C rated tire with a 55K treadwear warranty. It would be perfection.
