Idaho BS thread in the PNW

never again for goodyears for me!

But the price is nice no doubt..

peace Ben. Im hitting it too.

Night dudes!

 

later guys!

 

Since you guys are on the topic of tires, what do you think about putting 255/85R16's on a taco? I have the stock size 265/70R16's right now and am debating between 255's or 275's. I figure i will probably get better mileage with the narrower tire and have to do less cutting to make them fit.

 

Not sure. I bought the taco like this a few months ago. I'd guess 2.5-3 in the rear and less in the front because the stock springs are sagging some plus its only set at .85. I'm hoping to get some toytec/eibach springs soon to level it out.

 

I would say you need 3'' min to run that tall of a tire

 

That's only a little larger then a 31' and will fit without any lift.


from the online tire size calculator


The thing is you only need about 1.5 inches of lift with a 33' if you cut back your fenders and shave some metal off your cab mounts.

 

It'll fit without a lift

I see thanks. Guess that means I'm getting 265/75's. Too bad they don't make a 255/80.

 

265/75 will look fine that's what i have now

 

255/85s..Needs a lift

265/75s don't.

My dad is running 265/75s and they don't rub on the UCA. He is on stock rims. He does have lift tho, but they wouldn't rub even if he didn't.

 

kinda like these Adam..i know its too late. But still..

 

they have been on back order for like 4 months too

 

Well..nevermind then haha

 

I like them but i can't wait that long to get wheels

 

Now you have me rethinking the 255's. Haha. With the new eibach springs the front end should sit higher. My 265/70's rubbed on the mud flaps while turning. But i can just take them off and fold over the pinch weld if necessary. Think i wiuld have to do a cab mount chop also? I can trim up the front as well, but i'm hoping to get a cbi bumper at some point. That would solve front rubbing.

 

Hey speaking of anyone want some 275x70x18s, I really should have went bigger so if i can sell these i will

 

Hi-lift jacks are on sale at Amazon 58 bucks the the 60"

 

Now that I am out of class. I measured from about the center of my rim to the bottom of the fender and got about 21 1/4" for the front and 24" on the back. Which I think gives me about 1 1/4" front and 2 1/4" in the rear of lift. hmm.... That's a bit short of 3"...

 

Can you even fit the 60 in your bed?
