16" To 17" Wheels

Can you swap from 16" to 17" wheels on a 2013 Regular Cab 4x4, Advantages and Disadvantages.

 

Lots more large tire options with 17 wheels.

I can't think of any disadvantages.

 

yes, only disadvantage, is if you want to rotate all 5 tires. but that's personal preference.

 

Less tire sidewall if comparing same circumference tires but that's about it.

 

And if you air down your tires more sidewall can be a good thing.

 

Yes! I run 16’s on my 2015, but I got a set of 17’s that I got for $200. to run on my rig while I got my 16’s powder coated. They were fine with no problems! Here are my 16’s. Here it is with the 17’s on it.

 

2nd gen came with 17’s.

advantages:
-bead grip wheels likely only come in 17
-17 may look better
-17 can clear brake setups that a 16 wouldn’t

 

And 18's.

 

They put 16's on all of the Off Road versions as far as I know. 16's give you more rubber between the ground and bottom of the rim. That is better when driving off road. It allows more tire flex and better traction.

As you go to larger wheels (assuming the tire diameter remains the same) you have less rubber between the ground and bottom of the wheel. This means less body lean when cornering aggressively. In some ways it is more stable when towing for the same reason.

 

My 14 came with 16" steel wheels, I put 17" trd offroad 4runner wheels on it.

 

Top are 16's bottom are 17's

 

I got 17 as well with 33’s right now I’m trying to go 35’s but there’s a lot of cutting involved

 

Baby steps, my 17's will be getting 34's.
Just beat back the pinch welds yesterday. CMC once I get home in a week.

 

Also have 16's on my 2013 Double Cab. Bought some new to me 17" rims getting ready to put on. What tire sizes do you all run on this setup so there is no tire rubbing?

 

those are the exact rims i bought to replace my ugly rusting steelies. Also have to get some tpms sensors. and different lug nuts. it never ends

 

I'm running 275/70r17 bfg ko2's. I had zero rubbing until I installed 1" bora wheels spacers, then I just removed the front mud flaps.

 

How much are you lifted?

 

In theory, your speedometer will be 6.5% off At 50mph "read" you will be officially at 53.1mph BUT it is the overall size rim + tire that matters.

An excellent link: https://www.tacomaworld.com/tirecalc?tires=265-75r16-265-70r17

A 265/75R16 is basically the same than a 265/70R17 except sidewall height

 

No lift. Keeping stock
