Fit Without Lift?

I promised my wife that I would not buy new tires and rims until I wore out the tires on my 09 Taco Double Cab SB PreRunner. Yay, the time has finally come.

I intend to go from BFGoodrich Rugged Trail T/A 265/70 R16 to:

BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A KO2 275/65 R18 mounted on American Outlaw Buckshot 18 X 8.5 matt black rims.

My PreRunner has the factory suspension with no lift.

Does anyone know if my truck will require a lift with the new tires/rims, or just a possible trim of the wheel well plastics?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks Geekhouse. I already looked at that. But imagine it is based on no rub, not on wheel well mod possibilities. That's why I threw the question out there.

 

What is the back psacing of the rims? You might rub on the UCAs. I run 285s and had to trim a bit. Wheel well liner, CMC, remove mudflaps. And I still have to beat the pinch weld in and trim some more likely.

 

Geekhouse - LT275/65R18 123R E1 RWL - does any of that have the backspacing? I haven't a clue.

What is UCA.

I understand the wheel well liner, but CMC? I am prepared to remove the front mudflaps if necessary.

You are running 285s and had to make some adjustments without a lift kit. I will be running 275s. So it seems that I may not have to make as many adjustments as you. Am I correct?

Are you running 285s on 18 inch rims?

This is all new to me, so be gentle. LOL

 

Back spacing is on the wheel not tire I believe. So I have 4.5" backspacing on my wheels.

UCA = upper control arms

CMC= Cab mount chop

I'm running 285s on a 3" lift and had to trim all that.

I'm on 16's

 

Well shit. Thanks for the info geekhouse.

 

Anyone run a 255/75/R16? I am looking to go to that from a 265/70/R16. Stock suspension for now.

 

I'm doubtful they make that size tire jagergirll

 

If you found that size, it's actually smaller than 265/ 75/ 16 which fits just fine and is readily available in many styles and ply ratings. If you want skinnies, look at 235/ 85/ 16. They are widely available and are basically the same height as the 265/ 75, but are generally only available in 10 ply (E rated) because they are mostly run on duelly work trucks.

I'm very happy with my 265s and will run those until I get UCAs so I can fit 255/ 85/ 16. I run C rated (6 ply) and they seem to hold up well and run smooth for my uses.

Edit: That's my experience with my 6 lug, maybe someone who knows better can chime in on fit for your 4 banger.

 

Here's 285/75r16's on a 09' Tacoma with NO lift at all:



Basic Cab Mount Chop and pinch weld beating... Shaved off some fender flare and that's it.

If you don't mind cutting go for it.
