    I just recently got my 2010 4x4 base model. The previous owner had 245/75R16 on it and I want a larger wider tire. The truck is leveled at group to fender 35’. Does anyone know what size tires to go for on a leveled Tacoma? Pictures with sizing are greatly appreciated.

    Wheel specs are more important that 'leveling' (a looks thing)

    What wheels are on it?

    Also, lift measurements are taken center of hub vertical to fender edge. This takes the tire diameter out of the measurement so you are only evaluating the suspension lift.

    Do you want to cut, trim, etc? Or leave it alone?

    What is the primary use of the truck, in terms of pavement vs off road? And how challenging off road?

    Every choice compromises something else, so you want to proceed with caution.

    The search feature will bring you overwhelming numbers of posts on the topic, both on this forum (2nd gen) and the Wheels/Tires forum.

    I want to leave it alone suspension wise. Off-roading only to get down to my hunt club nothing seriously crazy like mud holes. 21.5 inches from center of the hub to fender.

    On what wheels, still the #1 consideration.

    I am looking at 17 inch rims if that is what you are asking.

    OE? Aftermarket?

    Width, backspacing, offset all factor into how the tire will fit.

    Here is the plan. 17x9 inch aftermarket wheels. One mm offset with two inch wheel spacers.

    I have a 2013 with a 2"/2.5"ish lift
    I went with 265/75-17 tires and 17 x 8 wheels 0 offset
    I don't want rubbing. I'm not ready to do a frame and cab cut

    If you're getting aftermarket wheels, why not get the correct offset so you don't need to use spacers
