    In the market for some new tires and wanted to go bigger,taller, without any scraping,don't have any modifications to the truck,so I'm thinking I won't be able to go much bigger, but as long as it's not stock I'll take it.....:)
    Any advice guys would be appreciated......

    I have P245 75 R16 on there now........

    Thanks

    If you are 4x4 I think you are limited to 245/75/16 or 265/70/16. This is what comes from the factory.You could try 265/75/16, but I think you will have to do some trimming.

    1. Welcome to TW.
    2. There is a search function on the website (top right corner)
    3. 265/75r16 or 265/70r17 is the biggest tire you can install without modifying anything.

    Bonus content because I'm in a good mood:

    Jugger I'll definitely use that search button could you tell me out of both those sizes which one is the bigger in would I still be able to use the one with the 17 even though its a 16 inch wheel
    265/75r16 or 265/70r17 ?

    Thanks

    ^Obviously the 265/70-17 won't fit on your 16" wheel.

    Another size to consider is 255/85-16. It's an inch taller than 265/75-16 but 10mm narrower. Only 4 tire common tire models come in that size but they are good ones off road (Cooper STMaxx, Cooper ST, BFGoodrich KM2, Toyo M/T).

    They are the same overall diameter. The first number 265, is the width of the tire in mm. The second number, 75 or 70, is the aspect ratio. Meaning it is the ratio of the height of the sidewall to the width of the tire. basically meaning that it is 75% as tall as it is wide. The last number r16 or r17 refers to the diameter of the rim the tire sits on. So like KenLyns says, a r17 tire won't fit on an r16 rim.

    Read through this https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/how-to-understand-metric-tire-sizes.23715/

    These kinds of questions come up so often there is a tire size calculator linked on every page in the footer. Look at the bottom of the page and you can find it. you can punch in various tire sizes and see how tall they are. The biggest tire you can fit without modification is roughly 31.5 inches tall by 265mm wide (10.5 inches). That'll fit without no issues across the range of suspension articulation and steering angles. As you get taller and/or wider they might fit or you may have issues.
