Tire Help, Aftermarket Wheels, OEM Suspension

Hello everyone! This is my first post and I appreciate the feedback. I will be picking up my first Tacoma in a couple of weeks and wanted input on tire size for the aftermarket wheels I purchased. I scoured the forums and could not find concise answers on the below questions.

2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport Double Cab 5' Bed V6 MT Blue Crush Metallic
OEM wheel specs: 17x7.7 +30mm offset
OEM tire specs: 265/65/17 (Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac)

Aftermarket wheel specs: 17x8.5 -10mm offset (Stealth Custom Series Gloss Dark Bronze)
Aftermarket wheel specs: 275/70/17(?) (no tires yet purchased).

I think I should wear out my existing tires first and upgrade to larger tires after. That said,

1.) Will the OEM 265/65/17 tires fit on the aftermarket wheels I purchased without any issues? (I can suck it up looking dumb for a bit while I wear out the tread).

2.) Are 275/70/17 tires the largest I could go on the stock suspension without rubbing or other issues?

3.) Are Falken Wildpeak the go to for most people when upgrading tires?

I do plan to go ahead and get a KDMax tune, ACM delete, and Redline MT-09 tranny fluid swap to have the manual gears shift a bit more smooth and be able to drive as intended. Any opinions on this is greatly appreciate as well.

PS: This truck will be more of a daily driver/weekend warrior (when able) over the next couple of years. The more expensive mods will be coming after my school program is finished. Thanks again!

 

Welcome. Congrats on the new truck.

1 - Yes, the factory tires will fit on your new wheels.
2 - You are more likely to run into rubbing issues when using a negative offset wheel. Most people find that a 265/70/17 is the biggest you can go without too many issues. I had some -10 wheels (SCS) and I rubbed a lot with 265/70/17. Others don't seem to have an issue. YMMV, as the kids say.
3 - Wildpeaks are very popular but have become expensive and there are a lot of great tires out there.
(Smart move using up your factory tires first.)

Thank you so much for answering all of the questions I had! I assumed I would need a lift/leaf/leveling kit of some kind, to fit bigger tires. I'm hoping that I won't run into any running issues with the negative offset on the SCS wheels on the stock tires.

Thank you for the link! I was finding more info on the TRD Off-Road than the TRD Sport, so I though posting would be a safe bet to confirm what may be needed for my current setup. Hoping to run the SCS wheels and stock tires until the tread wears. Then upgrade to bigger tires/lift all at once.

 

You will in no way run into rubbing with stock tire size. If you go up to 265/70/R17 you will have to remove the lower front chin air dam along with removing the front mud flaps. You may still get slight rub on full lock out left/right & while reversing. The - offset is what complicates things more with going up to 265/70 tires. If you chose a wheel with a 0 offset, then you could go up a tire size from stock with no problems. I personally have SCS Blaze10 wheels on my stock suspension trd sport. Absolutely no issues.
