    Bilstein 5100's up front set @ 2.5 inch with 1 inch block in back UPDATE as of 06/14: 4inch rough country upfront with Bilsteins set at .85 for total lift of 4.85 and rear with 2 inch block with Bilsteins 5100's shocks. UPDATE as of 0615 4 inch lift Rough country with Bilsteins set at 2.5 and rear 2 inch add a leaf with 3 inch block sitting on 285/75-17 34's...
    If I'm correct my stock rims on my 2012 4X4 are 17X9 and it has 265/65/17. My question is if I level the front what the max size tires I can put on the stock rims?

    x2. You can go taller but that means running a narrower tire.

    When you say you want to level it out, I'm assuming you're leveling it with either a coilover or a spacer kit and not thinking of running taller tires on just the front? Not trying to be insulting, but some people might not see anything wrong with that...

    I have a 2010 tacoma 4x4 and my stock tire is 245/75/16 without changing the rim size and I am still at stock with no leveling kit, and no spacers what is the max tire size I can run without cutting the fender and getting overspray from the tires onto the fenderwell or side of truck when driving as I do not have rubber fenderwells???

    I didn't know if the rim size would matter. I thought the max tire size was referring to a 17" rim vs. a 16" one.

    5100's front and rear, front 2.5" rear 2" AAL, 18% tint front and rear, color matched grill. SCS wheels 275/70/17 BFG AT KO's. DTRL toggle switch.
    The question was answered for 17's not 16's which he is asking. Also your post is pointless! Read... lol

    I believe from my limited research that the largest tire size for 16 with out mods would be 265/75.

    It's the most common question on this entire site, that's why there's a thread stickied at the top of the forum entitled "Largest tires sizes on stock suspension". The same size restrictions apply for stock wheels.


    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/wheels-tires/67550-largest-tacoma-tire-sizes-stock-suspension.html


    The stock 17's are 7.5" wide, not 9"

    I have minimal knowledge when it comes to tire sizing and purchases. The size of the rim threw me off on which tires were compatible etc. My mistake.
