    How would 2017 tacoma 2.7 liter ride with 33's? They come stock with 245/75r16's. Would i have to regear or can i leave it? I know i would lose some power but i really dont mind. Thanks for your help.

    Auto trans or manual? If by your sig Auto correct?

    I'm thinking re-gear would be in order for sure.

    I vote go for it and see how bad it is, if anything you have great looking wheels and tires and can save for a re-gear and rear locker if needed.

    I have the V6 and will get 265/75r16 for new tires since I don't want to kill daily driver commuter performance.

    Did you regear it or leave it alone?

    Use 255 x 85 to get your 33"

    Effective gearing will be the same, but at least you'll have a lighter tire (less unsprung weight) with a bit less rolling resistance.
