255/80r17

does anyone have photos of 255/80r17 on their Tacoma? Debating between 265/70r17 and 255/80r17 for next tires. Thanks guys!

 

255/80/17 Cooper Discoverer S/T MAXX on SCS SR8

255.80.17 cooper st maxx

 

In the back, Icon 2.0 and Wheeler's Offroad progressive AAL.
Front: Icon 2.5 coil overs with Icon UCA

 

Reefnfeef: 2wd? Looks great!

 

Based on my limited research, you can probably squeeze 265/70/17 or 255/75/17 on at stock height, but 265/75 and 255/80 would both require a lift.

Lots of threads on here with guys running 265/70/17 at stock height - 1 inch taller than stock, same width. I'm going to try and shoehorn 255/75/17 onto my Tacoma when I replace the tires next month. The 255 is about 1 1/2 inches taller and 1/2 inch narrower than stock.

There's a great tire size calc here: if you need it.

 

I'm going 34x10.5x17 next which is essesntially a 265/80/17

 

PS there is a huge 255/85/16 thread . 255/85/16 is the same size tire as 255/80/17 , just fits a 16" wheel instead of a 17" if you want info / pics

255.80.17 will definitely require a lift and cmc. Pulling into a sloped driveway will let you know that real quick

 

Solid. What tire choice?

 

I think I am too. And the 34's still weigh 5lbs less than these ST MAXXs.

Are you regeared, Oz?

 

For those wondering what the 34/10.5/17 looks like....this is it in the KO2. No cab mount chop needed. No rubbing with an Icon 3" lift front and rear with Dakars. I've not regeared yet but I will. Definitely took a hit on the MPGs. Will be going to 4.10s in the near future. Just have to figure out what locker setup I'll be doing and then it's game time.

No cmc, really?? With the Icons I assume you've flexed it too.

 

No way. Really? I wanna see your rig at full stuff and turned

 

He's even got the mudflaps still on! It's like he's mocking us.

 

For real.

 

Got them about a week and a half ago so no offroading yet. Might throw the jack under it today (gotta put my sway bar back on anyway) to give it a little flex action. I've heard from other members it doesn't rub even on full flex. We shall see. If it does rub, modifications will be made.
