Largest tire I can run?

I have a 2012 with 18" crome clad wheels, thinking of getting new wheels but in a $$ crunch so I just want to add to new larger tires for now. I have leveled the front with a 2.5 inch, just wonding if I can run a 275/70/18 tires on the stock crome clads…

 

275 is pushing it if the backspacing and offset is the same on those wheels as it is the other stock wheel, you need to be worried about rubbing on the upper control arm. I believe kpt is running that tire size, he will probably show up here and have a answer for you.

 

Oh and i assume you mean 275/65r18 am i right? Try to find the backspace and offset of those wheels so someone can give you a better answer than me

 

In the Wheel and Tire section http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/wheels-tires/67550-largest-tacoma-tire-sizes-stock-suspension.html OOps but it doesnt mention a lift sorry

 

Looks like has a leveling kit billy. I didnt even realize 275/70r18 was a size i assumed he meant 275/65. The 70s are over 33"

 

Ya I realized the tire thread didnt take that into account after I posted

 

so you guys would probably stay with 275/65/18's with stock 18" wheels? I am trying to figure it out between the two. 275/65/18 or 275/70/18. I want to get some ATX artillery
wheels. I think they should look good.

 

I have 1.75" of lift and I rubbed without flexing even with 275/65/18

 

Kpt, some people have issues rubbing on the UCAs with 275s right? Depends on the tire tread i think. Just wondering if the OP needs spacers i he goes with an aggresive tire on the stock 18s

 

Yes, I believe it was TW member teamFast who rubbed his ucas with 275s at full lock on stock wheels.

I have the same backspacing as stock (5.5"), but mine aren't close to the uca because I have 9" wide wheels, which pulls the tire out further from the uca.
