Who has 265/70/17 on TRD Sport Stock?

Picking up my 21 TRD Sport Monday.

I decided to keep everything stock and just switch the Tires out (90% highway driving)

I’m wondering if I should just switch out for same stock size 265/65/17 or go up to 265/70/17.

Has anyone made the change on Stock wheels, no lift or anything? Just tire switch. How’s the ride quality? Did it get softer when going over bumps and potholes? Any issues from going up in size?

 

You shouldn't have any issues going up to that size. I am running those on stock suspension but not on stock wheels. I can definitely tell it handles better but my wheels are 0 offset vs +30 on the sport wheels. That give it a slightly wider stance and I think that plays a big part in why it feels better.

 

Sorry I’m completely new to trucking and wheel sizing... I had no idea stock were +30 offset!
Which is more likely to rub if at all? Zero offset or positive offset?
I drove the truck home today and honestly the ride felt well cushioned enough but seeing the big gap between fenders and tires makes me want to fill that..

 

I understand wanting slightly larger tires to fill the fender and tire gap. Mine don't rub and I don't believe yours would with the stock wheels. You're only talking about a 1.1" difference in offset difference between the 2 wheels. Here is how my BFG KO2's fill the wheel well on stock suspension.

 

Your truck looks great! Mine is also Super White. Ideally I wanted to swap out my wheels to those as well but couldn’t justify the cost.
You have no rubbing even when fully turning?
Also, how’s your side step? I’m looking at the steps now, PT76735190 looks good but dang it’s expensive lol

 

Thanks. I had a white truck years ago and liked it. Stays a lot cleaner looking than most others. Yea the wheels weren't cheap but I wanted to get rid of the stock sport wheels. I like the newer ones more than the 2017's that were on mine. I have heard the front right rub the mud flap twice while backing up at full lock coming off the curb out of my driveway. Other than that it has never rubbed. Wow those steps are expensive. I got mine from Amazon. They are TAC sidesteps in 4" width. They were about $150 when I got mine. Not sure what they have available now . There are lots of options out there.

 

Those tires will be fine. Probably the most common size on Tacomas.

 

$150!! I’m gonna look for them. I found OEM Toyota that looks the same but 5 inch tube for $340... guh

I’m hearing impaired so I won’t hear the rubbing, not sure if I’ll feel it either. It’s why I’m so concerned about possible rubbing. Maybe I should consider 265/65/17 LTX AT2 instead of 70 M/S??

 

Just concerned as I have quite the steep driveway and sometimes have to fully turn to get in.

 

You’ll be fine. I promise.

 

Like I said mine has ONLY rubbed the hard plastic OEM mud flap. I can heat it up with my heat gun and mold it out of the way some if I need to but since it has only happened those 2 times I'm not worried about it. The 265 70 17 should be fine. I wouldn't give the size a second thought. Think you'll be happier with the slightly larger tire.

 

Mine is on a hill also. Doesn't rub turning out unless if comes off the curb. We live on a corner lot and the driveway is actually at an angle and the drain starts right at the edge of the driveway so it's an awkward angle to back out. When I back out and stay away from that area that drops off it doesn't rub.

 

Until he starts eyeing those 33s lol
Actually, that is an option in 255 now that I think about it.
OP, you familiar with 255s?

 

I do. 265/70-17 Falken A/T3W on 17x9 +1 wheels. Slight rub occasionally when turning left near full lock. No other rubbing. On otherwise stock '17 Sport.

 

I actually just want to stay stock with slightly bigger tires. Don’t exactly want to go 255 as I like wider tires. My X5 runs 315 it’s fat.

I may just say screw it and grab 265/65/17 AT2 to be on the safer side. So many mentions of slight rubbing once or twice. Too much stress for me lol
