    I have semi-new wrangler duratrac 265's (15k miles) on my 2017 Tacoma. Considering putting on a 3" OME lift with add a leaf. I do have XD after market 16's on the truck so theres a little space added, but im worried about the truck looking awkward with the 265's.

    Does anyone have any experience with these size tires and lift kits and could reccommend whether or not it will look super awkward?

    Thanks

    265’s are fine imo on a 2” lift but a lot goes in to getting 285’s on these trucks. Do some research. B403C42D-B0DE-45C3-A94B-74D7B2AA5889.jpg5100’s and AAL. 265/75/16 Yokohama X-AT No mpg loss or bogging up hills. Just my 2 cents.
    Happy FriHigh Day

    I feel like there's a lot of wheel well space in a roughly 2" lift. Wildpeak 265/75

    I think 3” is way too high for 265s.
    I had 265s back in the day with a 2” lift and I thought they looked too small with that lift. But that was just my opinion.

    I have 285s now with a 2.5” lift and they are not over stuffed. There’s a good bit of wheel well above the tires
