Tire size

Hi everyone, I'm new. My first post. I just picked up a 2019 TRD sport 4x4. Everything stock. OE tires are 265/65/17. I wanted to put 275/70/17 on it. I may lift it a little later but I want to know if there will be any issues for now. I might lift it a little in 6 months but the tires right now are gone. Any advice I would appreciate

 

265/70/17 will fit with no modifications. You'll probably need to lift it a bit before you go to 275/70/17's.

Nyob zoo Andy. Go through this megathread. It's got all you need to know. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/official-3rd-gen-275-70r17-tire-thread.394460/

 

What wheel are you going to be running? Any change in offset? Will this be street driven primarily?

 

Excuse me if I'm wrong, but everything I've read, and everything posted here indicates that lift has nothing to do with fitting larger tires.

 

Yes and no, depends on the lift type.

 

Thanks, maybe you can inform the forum as to how a lift will fit larger tires.

 

Lifts such as a body lift or drop bracket lift will allow room for increased tire diameter. A body lift, well, that ones kind of self explanatory. You raise just the body of the vehicle via spacers at the body mounts. This will lift the body while maintaining the same suspension travel thus making more room for larger rubber (keep in mind you still have the front body mounts to worry about).. Drop brackets achieve lift by lowering the mounting points of the suspension components relative to the vehicle’s frame (hence the name) which in turn makes room for larger tires since the whole suspension travel is moved lower down while raising the height of the vehicle.

Your typical suspension lift does not make room for larger tires. To keep it simple, let's say a factory tacoma has 8" of travel and at ride height sits right in the middle of the travel range. 4" up and 4" down of available travel. Say you lift the vehicle 2.5". All you did was move where the truck sits at ride height. You still have 8" of usable travel (if not more), but now have 1.5" of down travel and 6.5" of up travel. Now, while you might have more clearance at ride height the tire will still travel the same distances as if it were in stock form and once you start articulating you'll run into rubbing issues at the same places you did prior to lifting. Essentially, if it'll rub on a stock truck, it'll rub on a vehicle lifted via spacer, coils, etc...

 

I see you made it.

On Toyota IFS lift has nothing to do with fitting larger tires unless you are planning to drive in a straight line and never cycle your suspension.
