    Hello!
    2016 Sport, 2" OME lift up front, 1.75" OME rear, etc. OME UCAs installed as well (gifts from wife)
    Like my stock sport wheels and wondering if I could put 275/75/17s on there - or is that too big (i.e., will rub) and 265/70/17s are as large as i could (should?) go w/ out issues. Or do I really need new wheels with a neg. off set to make this work...etc.

    New to getting my taco ready for some off-roading and overlanding some with the family.

    Appreciate all the knowledge out there -

    thanks.

    - ICON UCAs, BP51/Kings, SCS wheels, 285s, Leer 100XR canopy. Greenlane aluminum winch bumper, Smittybilt X20 winch. Trying Falken AT3w now, Really like BF KO2s.
    265 on sport wheels is pretty much max, once you have them on you will see that there is not a lot of room between the tire and the UCA. You could try 255 80 17 if you want a taller tire - 33 inch and still use your stock wheels. A lot of guys run the ST Maxx if you want a tire that’s tough.

    Interesting - thank you for the knowledge. So if i want to go the larger route (i.e., 275/75) then different wheels seem to be necessary.
    Will read up on the 'skinny' thread -

    Is there a site or resource where you can enter your model (e.g., Sport TRD) and any lift inches you have, and enter a tire size and it gives you a yes/no readout? or is it just 'find someone who knows and ask them'?

    thanks again - open to other's insight if anyone has other thoughts.
