TRD Pro Wheels and 285s or 295s

Not looking to beat a dead horse, and yes I’ve searched the forums, but looking for some new input.

I have a 2023 Tacoma with 265/70r17 KO2s on TRD Pro 4Runner wheels. The wheel is 17x7. I am going to be adding a 2in front and 1.5in rear lift in the near future. Probably going with Bilstein 6112/5160 combo and the Icon Progressive AAL.

That being said, I’m looking to upgrade my tires so it doesn’t look like I skipped leg day. I am looking at two tires in particular. BFG KM3 or Yokohama Geolandar MT. I like the look of both tires and can’t decide yet, but they both recommend 7.5in wheel width minimum for either 285/70 and 295/70. I’ve seen people run both, but I’d like to know if it’s safe to do so, how’s the wear, or should I just buy new wheels? Also, would I need to run wheel spacers to make it work?

I appreciate the help and advice in advance!

 

Wheel-size.com to assist with information... spacers relate to wheel offset. Use the size calculator to get an idea of what works best for you. You do not want your wheel "tucked in too deep" as a wider tire will scrape against the frame when turning or against the suspension. You want to push the wheel away from both, which is why you would go to a lower offset (instead of spacers). The wheels you are using will have the offset stamped on the inside/rear of the wheel (ET30, ET25 etc...) You would want to go with an ET10 or lower to run the wider tires, but stay away from negative offset, as that will push your wheels out too far.

 

I’m assuming you mean they recommend a minimum of a 7.5” wheel. I think most people with 285’s are running an aftermarket rim at 8”. If you want a 33’s on stock 7” wheels, then a 255/80r17 is a good bet.

 

You can do a 285 for a 7.5" but im not sure that i would go to 295. Street might be ok but offroading might not be ideal.
