Biggest tire size on stock '12 TRD

I was looking at purchasing a set of GY Duratracs for my '12 Tacoma and was wondering if anyone had experienced rub issues with 285/70/17 on stock rims and suspension?

It seems pretty tight when the steering wheel is @ full lock. looks like I'd either require wheel spacers or wheels with a more neutral or negative offset. Has anyone tried this? or runs this particular tire size?

 

I rubbed with 285s and a 3" lift..

 

I clear 285/70/17 on road...with a 3" lift...

 

What kind of offset are you running on your wheels? was wondering if I need new rims with a more negative offset since the stock rims are slightly positive?

 

The Helos I have are -12mm offset and 4.5" back spacing.

 

255/75/17 is the biggest you can go without butchery

 

Mine still rubbing a bit....grinder ready when temps reach above 10.

 

I still have to test off pavement mines always ready lol

 

I hear you. My flares are going away completely. I've already trimmed the underlip and approx 2 cm off the rear of the flare. I wish a vender would build a simple body sucking flair to cover the panel trim and existing tab holes.
I am not sold on the Bushwackers....unless I have to be.

Thank you. Read that a week ago and a fantastic solution. I just would rather not have too .

 

Cool thanks man!
I'm sure the 285/70's will rub on the frame on stock rims.. might need new rims....

 

No problem dude. You're still going to need to lift or start cutting

 

I had 265/70r17's and they rubbed ever so slightly when the truck was stock. Heat gun to the mudflaps to deform them a little solved that problem. Theeennnn I decided my truck should be bigger and the angle grinder came out.

Also this is gonna depend on your definition of rub. Do you just want to turn into parking lots at the local Walmart without embarrassing rubbing noises, or use your truck on trails?

EDIT: A friend of mine has 285/75r16 Duratracs on his '10 Taco. He has a 3 inch lift and they still rub like crazy in parking lots and stuff. He still has all the mudflaps and unnecessary plastic bits though.

 

I just don't really feel like damaging expensive tires, i'm not really concerned with noise. I just want to have that warm and fuzzy knowing when I turn the wheels from lock to lock, I'm not damaging the tires or frame.

I don't really do trails. these tires are something I can use all year round for my daily driver, that are winter rated, that have a more aggressive look than stock. I like the look of wider tread on this truck which is why I wanted to go with 285's. Just wanted to see what the absolute maximum I can go without lifts on stock rims.. Seems like the consensus is, lift and rims required.

 

Thanks for the insights guys! Very helpful!!

 

You can run a 255/75/17 Like OZ suggested which is narrower but still achieves a more agressive stance without having to butcher anything

 

I think I will end up going to a 265/70/17. Those should fit the truck stock suspension and rims. we'll see how she manages!

 

I had 265/70/17s for a while. Here a a pic on stock suspension. Front mud flaps will have to be removed or trimmed.

 

I'm running 275/70r17 bfg at ta ko's on stock sport rims. I lifted the front 1.75" and 1" in the rear. It will rub on the UCA at full lock on the edge of the tread VERY lightly. Can't tell at all going forward. Plenty of clearance on the frame, wheelwells and stock mud flaps. Full flex on suspension is fine. Hope this helps.
