    hey guys. Hope the holiday was good. Im going to need new tires for my 2012 Tacoma and figure my next upgrade should just be bigger tires. Any idea how much taller i can go? Sizes? Right now I have factory size tires and no lift.
    Thanks!!

    265/75/16 if you have 16" wheels. 265/70/17 if you have 17" wheels. The overall dimensions of both are practically the same and the biggest you can go without modifying anything. Maybe a 235/85/16. They are a little taller, but a skinny tire.

    Thanks fellas. I have a 16” standard base model single cab wheel. About many inches do you think in height can I get with a bigger tire? 1-2”?

    Is it a 5 lug or 6 lug? 5 lug trucks are shorter almost the height of a car. 6 lug trucks are normal truck height.

    Your going from 245/75/16 to a 265/75/16
    The difference is 1 inch so your only getting 1/2 inch of height
