Tire size for gen 3 leveled

Looking for advice on tire and rim size for gen 3 Taco with 1500s upfront to level. Stock on OR is 265/70/16. I want something beefier but no rubbing, and wheel to be 17s.
Thanks

 

I would start by running a search. There are countless threads describing different combinations of wheels/tires/lifts/results that will have you reading for hours. And I guarantee this will help you figure out what will work for you!

 

I've been searching but my 1year old daughter decides she'd rather play than let me read. So much info to filter thru I just don't have the time.

 

Yep, more info than a mere mortal can read, that's for sure!

 

How do you use the truck?

 

Mostly on road, live in the northeast so in the snow. I do utilize the bed for home projects.

 

265/70-17 will definitely fit.
255/80-17 may cause a small amount of rubbing depending on your wheel choice.

 

Thoughts on 275/70/17?

 

There's a strong chance they'll fit. I've never personally used that size and I haven't read enough threads about that size to say 100%.

You mentioned "no rubbing" if you don't mind me asking why are you against trimming some plastic in the inner fender well that no one will ever see?

 

I guess it's not so much about trimming that I'm against. I just assume if there is rubbing while the truck sits flat, there will be larger problems when the suspension compresses.

 

Agreed. 275 won't rub on flat ground or in a straight line, but possibly when flexed. As long as you don't go with a 9" wide wheel you'll only need to trim the black plastic inner fender liner. And that's if you need to trim at all.
I'd go with that size beefier than a 265

 

I am in the same boat. 3rd gen Taco. Have 2nd gen 5100s and 885s, but not installed yet. Have 275/70/17, but also not installed yet. Wheels are 7.5 wide with +15 offset. Will know hopefully next week how much, if any, rubbing I get.

 

Let us know if you can. Thanks!

 

I put in used 885s and 2nd gen 5100s. I kept the 3/8 spacer on driver side which previous owner of the coilovers had on there, and added a 1/4 spacer on passenger side. I seem to have lifted a bit too much because front seems to be slightly higher than back. Should have maybe just put in a 1/4 spacer on driver side and no spacer on passenger side. Alignment today, tires tomorrow.

 

Doesn't look like it'll rub

 

Looks awesome!
