how big a tire can I run?

I know this info is on here SOMEWHERE but I cant find it.

I have the 2 inch old man emu lift kit and 2014 trd aluminum wheels and I am due for tires I was running 265/75/16's and the Copper AT didn't rub in there front the K)#'s same size DID rub the UCA a tiny little bit at full lock. I would like some more height without more work! I will get 265/75/16' again I was just wondering in anyone has advice on something else that might be taller an maybe narrower. I know the 255/85/16 are narrower but I am under the impression they are the same height as the 265/75/16's.

 

This tool has been a great resource to me in comparing tire and wheel size combinations 'n such

 

the 255's is a 33" tire, the 265/75 is a 32.

Some guys are running a 235/85r16

But if you insist on running the 2nd gen wheels, you'll likely need wheel spacers.

Just do a search for 2nd gen wheels on a 1st gen, or something to that effect. Lots of people do it.

 

If this isn't the title page of the tires/wheels sub-forum, it should be.

 

255/85/r16

 

If rubbing the UCA is the issue you could add a spacer. I'm running 1.5" spacers with 12.5" wide tires on 2010 4 runner wheels so they don't rub the UCA.

 

Here's a good overview of what comes into play with various wheel/tire combos on a 1st gen. Take a read through and by all means ask questions!

What size tires fit my (lifted) Tacoma?

 

does the 2nd gen wheel have a different offset that the 1st gen?

 

yes.

They are completely different trucks and share only the name, and the 6 on 5.5 bolt pattern.
