Recommendations: Bigger tires on 16" wheels

Looking to upgrade my tires on my new Tacoma. The stock tires look a little small on the 16" wheels.

How big would you recommend going with the truck at its stock height?

5100's to come later.

Thanks.

The largest tire you can fit on stock suspension would be a 265/75/16.

 

If you're sticking to the stock 16" rims and end up with a 285 size, keep in mind your tire will probably rub on the upper control arm. You'll need wheel spacers or new wheels with higher backspacing.

 

I'm running 265/70/16 winters (on older steel tacoma rims) and have no problems with rubbing although I'm really not 4 wheeling in my new truck. Still on rough roads though. Take a look.
I agree the stock tires look weak. I want to get Goodyear Wrangler 265/70/17 's for my 17in sport rims. Also want to paint them black but don't have the balls to paint brand new rims! I'll Paint the Steelies when I take them off.
