    I replaced my stock 215/70R15 on my 2012 2.7 2wd 2dr Tacoma with 265/75r15 tries and I have considerable wheel rub around full lock. How high should I lift it to get rid of the rub?

    I don't think a 5 lug can fit those tires without lift and trimming.

    Check in the 5 lug subforum.

    is it rubbing the frame? Or cab mount? If its rubbing the frame you need wheel spacers or wheels, if its rubbing anything else a moderate lift could help or you can just trim it all

    Are you running stock wheels or after market wheels?
