2nd gen tire sizes with and without leveling?

Hey all, new to the forum and new to Toyota in general! But, excited to be here. Got it last week and I'm digging it
I was curious on a couple notes if you can assist.

• What size tires can I run (would like to run Nitto Trail Grapplers) on stock 17" rims, no leveling etc with no rubbing?
• If I level, what should I go with and what size tire can I run? Any idea on the cost to level?

Can anyone give me pics of a stock taco that would work with bullet 1?

Previously I was riding a ram 2500 leveled on 35/12.5 Mickey T.

Thanks gang, glad to be here

Thanks pjt, would prefer a more direct answer vs. links if possible.
Thanks in advance sir

 

Where are you located? I got a brand new set of BF Goodrich All Terrain KO2 tires if interested. They're 275/70/17.

 

Tmvo I'm on other side of country. Did the fit with no leveling?

 

I haven't mounted them yet. I'm still in the market for some rims. 17x8 or 17x8.5. Still deciding...

 

Those will not fit without a lift so don't buy them sorry @tmvo the biggest you can go without the leveling kit is 265/70/17. I always remove all my Mud Flaps anyway but if it does rub at all it might be the little tiny ones up front.

 

It's all good...

 

Unchained, so I'll be good with 265/70/17 with or without level?

 

Lots of bone stock rigs running that size

 

Yup

 

Thanks! So if I do a 2" level in front can I run 285/70/17?

 

Not without serious trimming, and chopping the cab mount.

 

No you will need to do some trimming, take the mud flaps off. maybe do a Cab Mount Chop. And I don't think you can run a 285 size tire on stock rims without some type of wheel spacer.

 

Got it... will stick to the 265... thanks!
