    2018 Taco TRD Off Road - No Lift
    Hi. New to the forums and I;m having a hard time finding any definitive answers.

    I have 2018 TRD Off Road with no lift and I want to move up to a 17 inch wheel with, probably, a 265 65/17 tire.

    I can't find anything defining the offset range I can use that will keep me from rubbing.

    Basically, I want to put the biggest wheel/tire I can without having to do any modifications beyond removing mud flaps.

    Can any one help?

    First off you have to ask yourself why you want 17” wheels? Do you off-road? If yes, there’s a reason Toyota put 16” wheels on the off-road model, more sidewall. As far as size goes there’s a lot of threads on here that discuss tire size but in a nut shell generally speaking you can go up one size without any problems like rubbing , speedometer setting, gearing, etc.

    Like, so many.
    Lately there are more options in tires and wheels in 17.
    I've seen lots of guys running -10 offset with no issue.

    Same. With 17s at full pressure and aired down, I've run the Stock PoSs and my current ATs off road without a single issue that would make me think that 16s would make anything significantly better.

    You can avoid buying a new wheel and just go with skinny 33s -255/85/16 on stock wheels.

    A lot of folks around here, including me, like 32s / 265/70R17 (or 265/75R16).

    Here's some info on the Stock stuff:

    I run 265/75/r16 no offset, no rubbing. I am block leveled at 2/1.5 though.

    265/65R17 is the stock size on a TRD Sport. It will be just fine.

    I had 265/75/r16 on a my 2017 off road. No issues without a lift. I'd bet it could probably taken 265/75/r17's and been fine. My only worry there would have been transmission hunting or lack of throttle response. That's roughly 2.4" taller than the factory 265/70/r16. Not sure if you're looking to go higher, wider or both.

    Thanks for all of the replies.

    I would really like to get a little bit of extra height on the truck without a lift but the biggest thing is wheel choice. There isn't that much in a 16 as opposed to a 17 inch wheel (I am extremely picky).

    This truck is mostly a pavement truck but I do take it out into the country a bit.

    A bit of both with higher being more important. I'd like a more aggressive appearance

    If it's more for looks, check out cooper rugged treks. I wish I didn't miss the rebate and really wish they made 265/75/r16. 265/70/r16 may give you the "look" you want without even changing size. It appears that most taco guys like neg offset with wider tires vs taller. Imo, wider is worse for me in in the frozen north. It causes the vehicle to float more with snow
