Just got my first Tacoma last week - a 2012 4WD Quad w/ 9K mi. Been reading a few threads - a lot of great info. Hope at some point I can contribute. I am trying to go a size or 2 up on the tires with out 'lifting'. Does anyone think I'll have any issues with a 285/70r17 (32.8 diameter)/ Looks like I have some room from the 265/65r17's.

 

Welcome. Good lookin truck.

 

285's will rub like a mo fo but the 265/75/16 or the 265/70/17 will fit with mild rubbing till you take off the very front mud flaps in front of the front tires

 

Thx. Figured those flaps would have to go.

 

Those ones are pretty much pointless anyways eventually you'll end up trimming all your flaps or taking them off completely

 

Welcome to TW!I had no rubbing issues at all with 265/70/17(factory TRD sport wheels)or 265/75/16(factory FJ cruiser trail team wheels)which i'm running now.Front small little(useless)mudflaps are still on.All four other mudflaps i removed when i purchased my truck new.

 

Hmm mine rubbed when upgrading tire size one size I reverse but I also got good year duratracs mud terrain so maybe the extra tall thread made it rub?

 

265 70 r17 size tires should work just fine for you. (Assuming you have 17 inch wheels)

 

Welcome!

 

Thx. Looking at Toyo Open Country A/T in a 275/65r18. 32" diameter and 11" width. Factory tires are 30.6 - seems like there's more than an inch even with wheels turn all the way. Anyone ever try that size? I think your right the tread depth might make a difference.
