new 2023 tacoma owner

just bought a 2023 sr5 4x4 tacoma but not crazy about the wheels and tires on it. curently have the 245/75r16 firestones with a black rim. also find it sits too low as i'm used to owning full size trucks prior to this. looking to switch to 17.8 crome rim with a 265/65r17 tire in the hopes it will raise it up some. i find i have to bend my head to the side to get in it . will the increase rim and tire size raise it up much and can this be done with out any type of lift kit and no worries of tire rub ?.besides that love the truck.

 

265/65r17 is the same height as a 245/75r16. It wouldn’t change anything except the tire would be a little wider. You could go up to a 265/70r17 which is about an inch taller. Gaining about a half inch of ground clearance

 

Maybe try a simple front coilspring upgrade and an add a leaf in the rear. Have you thought about 265/75/16? Makes the tire look bigger without worrying about rubbing or cutting.
