Tire options on my 2014 2wd TRD SPORT

Anybody have thoughts on modifying tire size on my 2014 TRD. I presently have 265/ 65 17 on there now I want to go a little larger but my dilemma is that I want to keep my factory wheels , I would like to go to 285 17 but I think I would need a leveling kit ,any thoughts

 

I have the same wheels and am looking at going 255/75/17. Taller but narrower reducing the likelihood of rubbing. I'm installing a 2" lift first though. I think you may have issues with 285's on stock suspension but could go taller and narrower with less issues.

 

265/70 17’s are the largest you can do and expect no issues with stock wheels and a stock 2nd gen Sport.

 

Istalled a 2" leveling lift , 1.25" Spidertrax spacers , nothing on the rear .Tires are G2 Grapplers 285/70R17 on stock rims. No rubbing and left the mudflaps on. Bigger tires than the stock 265 65 R17 will rub on the inner wall against the UCA , you need to spacers to resolve that.

 

Nice looking truck

 

What can you tell us about the lift? Where to get it done, what does one need to do it at home? (My shop capabilities are reduced these days)
