new member new truck

i have a 07 taco that has 20" wheels when i got it. i like the wheels but the tires not that much. My question is when i get a kinda offroad looking tire do i have to lift my truck?

 

Welcome to TW!

 

thanks odnamer

 

Welcome! and congrats. Sell wheels and tires, and get smaller wheels with some beefy all terrain tires!

 

i have no idea about the price range of my tires and wheels. any ideas?

 

We need specs!? brand, model, size for (tires and wheels) also cant tell how worn those treads are!

 

Welcome! If you want the off road look definitely ditch the 20s. 16s or 17s with some meaty AT or MT tires should do it!

For selling the wheels and tires, use google to find the price brand new. Then clean them up nice and start out high! You can always lower the price if nobody bites or it can give you some wiggle room if a buyer wants to negotiate.

 

Welcome!
Who ever put those wheels and tires on that taco should be ashamed!
16's or 17's is what you want!

 

You do not need to lift your truck for aggressive looking tires, if you stay near stock size
265/70/R16 is stock for a 16" wheel
265/65/R17 is stock for a 17" wheel

You can also put a 1" larger tire on than stock without a lift:
265/75/R16
265/70/R17

Duratracs and KO2s are popular AT tires. Try to get C-load tires to keep the weight down (and MPGs up) when getting new tires. Many only come in E-load which are very heavy.

 

The aggressive looking tire with that wheel package won't look right, especially if you want a taller tire. I'd suggest buying some smaller wheels before changing tires, even if you decide to go back to OEM.

 

thanks for your comments! ill get rid of this 20" rim and get a 17"
