Expert with tires and wheels? Need Help!?

I want to purchase 285\70-17 tires, they will fit right?

 

Depends....what do you have done to the truck?

 

Do you have a lift? If not they will require some trimming.

jolayiv Loving the sig pics, truck looks good.

 

It will also depend on the brand of tire, even though the numbers are the same sizes vary from brand to brand.

 

Thanks man! Yours isn't looking to shabby either!

 

i am getting a 3' lift tomorrow, and will be getting km2's... i just read around and realized that it will fit but with a bit of trimming which is fine IMO

 

If you are going to be running stock rims you will need wheel spacers for the front at least.

 

Nah im going with aftermarket wheels!

 

Hi:
New to this forum and was looking for some helpful tips. I have an 07 TRD Double cab 4x4. Currently I have a 3" Revtek kit installed with 265/70/17 tire on Mickey Thompson 17x9 rims. Thinking of going with 285/75/16 tires 0n 16x8 Moto metal 950's. What woild be the issues if I do as far as any rubbing or will I need to trim anything? Heard I would need to remove at least the front mud flaps but thats not a problem. Dont go 4 wheeling with this truck. Got my other Toyota for that. Thanks!

 

Yeah if you are going with 33"s, you will need to remove the front mud flaps and do some minor trimming up front but nothing big at all. Very easy to trim. A dremel would work perfect.

 

Thanks for the info. my wheels & rims are sitting in my shopping cart at 4wheel parts wholesalers. might just go ahead and push the "Buy it now " Button.

 

Nice! So why do you want to downgrade in size?

 

with the wheels & tires I have on it now 265/70/17's on 17x9 rims it looks ok but saw some pics of trucks with the 285/75/16's on 16x8 rims and think the truck looks a bit more rugged since the tire would be a little wider than what I have right now.

 

Oh okay, so is this your truck or the truck with the 16"s?

 

No. That's my truck with the 17's on it.

 

I think the 17"s look sick! But I guess is you like 16"s, go for it.

 

Did a little more research and found that if I use 285/70/17 tires on a 17x9 wheel it would be identical in size to a 285/75/16 on 16x8 wheels. Problem is the wheels I were thinking of getting-Moto Metal 950's dont come in a 17x9. like the look of the 955's too so maybe might go with those. Decisions decisions decisions.................

 

If I remember right they are 4.5" back spacing. Didn't have any rubbing with the 265's but when I put on the 285's I had the usual rubbing issues that everyone else encountered. Some minor trimming took care of that.
