265/75r16 on stock

For those of you who have put 265/75r16’s on a stock suspension Tacoma. Do you see a difference in height? Wanting just 1” or 1.5” higher for preference without lifting or leveling.

Best setup for daily drivers who want to enhance looks of truck without loosing mpgs and accelerating driveline wear.

265/75 r16 plus 2” front 1” back.

safe play and enhanced look.

 

I’m looking for specific opinions on if they notice a difference, not pictures. Hard to see in pics.

 

I would like to do a 2” front 1” back but I would like to do something that’s easy to install and remove. For now i’m happy with bigger tires if it gives at least some noticeable height.

 

I didn't notice any significant height change. More a look to fill the wheel well. I agree that a 2" lift would be the best for overall looks and MPG especially if you are not doing any major OR driving

 

Typically switching to 265/75/16s is going raise the overall height of the truck by 1/2"-5/8"

 

Didn’t notice a difference when driving or mpgs , but you can definitely tell the tires are bigger.

 

Don't think you're going to gain 1 -1.5 inches jumping up to a 75 series tire.

 

Op, 2 + 1 will seem to be ok some days and some will seem like not enough.

I just did it around 2 weeks ago and some days looks good and some I think it could have been more…

same with tires, 285s is the prefect size


But I come to my senses and think of the issues I might have with more than 2 inches of lift and high drop on mpg due to 285 and I enjoy my slight lift and slightly bigger tires again.

 

You get a half inch.

 

Been thinking about the same thing and determined tires just won't get us there.

Per @hiPSI, the 265/75R16 will raise it about a half-inch higher.

I swear every day there's a new thread about this exact tire size lol

 

Yep. A lift seems to be the way to go. Just trying to figure out how much. Even with the steps the wife hates having to "jump" into the cab.

 

Use the tire calculator. Lift will be equal to the new radius minus the old radius.

 

Or go skinnies with 235/85/16

 

Good thought but still doesn't gain much height... still only about 1/2 inch according to the calculator.

 

^this right here is what I got until I put my lift on.

 

Lifts don’t give clearance

I said about the skinnies because if you’re not putting tires on for looks and need a heavy duty tire to stand up to abuse you can get an e rated in skinnies for the same weight in 265/75/16 sl rated. That’s why I went the skinny route.

Another option is the 255 series. Those are mostly mt but you can find at hybrids. 255/85/16 is a true 33.

 

Good point. I guess a half-inch is a half-inch if you need it. There's a joke asking to be told but I'm not going there.
