235/85/16 vs 265/75/16

yeah...was planning on grinding that off and re painting it but If I do too many coats it might rub rest of my truck is actually super clean....for a northern truck

 

Anyone have any pics of 235s on their 4-cylinders?

These 235 KO2S look really good, I think the FJ wheels are 8” wide? I could be wrong.

I have 1st Gen Tundra TRD OR wheels on my 4-cyl with 265 Hankooks but blew one out that cant be saved, so I’m looking for newer tires a little early! My wheels have a slightly greater offset and I think stick out maybe .5” further than my old steelies did.

Also just put the 2018 OR suspension on my truck, raised the front over an inch...Wohoo! Rides SO much better too. Also have a TRD OR front sway too, that also really helped!

 

here are some pics of 235s on KMC endure wheels. On a 4 cyl..with the same 2017 OR suspension set installed. and I agree....the ride is about a billion times better....

 

I installed BF Goodrich T/A KO2 235/85-16” on my 2012 regular cab 4x4 two years ago. They are E rated and do ride more harsh, but I really like them. I had a big nail puncture the rear tire a year ago. Pulled it out and the side walls were so firm that I was still able to drive it 5 miles to get it fixed with no issues. I did mount them on factory alloy wheels from an FJ (guy sold me his new factory alloy to me off his FJ for $200 with only about 10 miles on the set of four!). I don’t know if the alloy wheels make up enough weight loss from the steel wheels to counter the heavier 235/85-16 tires, but it couldn’t hurt. My automatic transmission Tacoma is getting about 22 1/2 miles per gallon commuting 111 miles a day and traveling from sea level to 2,900 feet. There is some performance loss with the taller tire, but it is still quite adequate in everyday driving. I expect to get 60,000 plus miles out of these tires. I am very happy with this tire and wheel combination.

Great choice.
That's what I would done if there were aftermarket 7 inch wheels available. IMO one of the best sizes all around.
No worries I like my new 265/70R17 but my initial search was for 235/85R16.

 

Let’s see some pics!

 

@Bell214b lol

 

Oh shit I forgot, look at these https://simpletire.com/pirelli-lt235-85r16-1488800-tires. 235/85 but only load range c=same weight as oem tires

 

How much lift did you get with the '17 OR take-offs? About an inch? Looks really good... and not "overdone."

 

yeah about an inch.. in the front...not really noticeable in the rear but a 1.5in aal will fix that...my whole idea was to lift the truck just slightly keeping everything close enough to stock to avoid extra wear and tear issues, an I've achieved that so far...ride is a lot better...much less body roll in corners and since the "lift" comes from Toyota for Tacomas the taco lean is accounted for and the front struts are marked for the left and right sides...
