Lt 255/75R/17 is good for 2013 Tacoma

Hi everyone, I just bought 2013 tacoma access cab and have an question would like get answered. I have good set of BF goodrich mud and snow Lt255/75R/17 tires , ( for winter and back roads ), will this set of tires could use on this tacoma and what size of steel wheels I should buy and what is the offset wheel in order to prevent to rub the side or caliber? Thanks. ( I'm totally new on this field )

 

Just got a set of Cooper Discover A/T3's in this exact size.

Was advised that 17x8.5 was the max recommended width for these tires.

Most of the better 17" wheel designs appear to only come in x9" wide.

Ended up finding and ordering 17x8 Black Rock Viper 900's. They're a 5 spoke design and come in black or silver.

 

Here is mine BFG Mud 255x75x17 on factory wheels.
17x7.5

 

Update:

The Black Rock Viper 900's did not clear the calipers. Not even close. Noob mistake. Sending them back.

Tire dealer tried getting me into a set of Rock Star II's. Said thanks but no. Back to the drawing board, er, Photoshop.

Lots of good lookin' 17x9's out there that supposedly will NOT hold the 255's. Not so many 17x8's.

Could use input (confirmation) on whether 17x8.5's are okay for 255's. Might help answer OP's questions at the time or any others who might be focusing on noise supression during interstate miles.

 

yes 17x8.5 wheels with 5.25 backspace and + 20 offset will work good with 255x75x17 I got a set on my Fuel Frontier wheels good clearance my Goodyear Wranglers .

 

Thank you for that.

Was scoping packages at TireRack today. Noticed 245/'s recommended for 8.5"s. So the news opens up more choices.

I swear the half-mute lugs at the local rural tire dealer I was "trying" to work with:

a.) Care more about their logging skidder customers.
b.) Are all closeted, flag wrappin', wavin' GM, Ram and Ford bigots.
c.) Have no clue where half the parts on their tanks are manufactured.
d.) Get off on providing as little info as possible so as to assert an air of superior intelligence.
e.) Or snicker amongst themselves that.. I'm (unAmerican) turning Japanese, I think I'm turning..I really think so. (worse, without ever having heard the song.)

Anyway. For anyone who runs into this vibe, I learned this tire dealer uses a wheel distributor that only stocks 9 brands.
Meanwhile they have stacks of wheel catalogues on their counter to wet peoples' appetites.
It's as if they want to keep it all seeming like rocket science... they almost had me going with those tacky RockStar II's.
On the way home I had a vision of some smaht guy given a healthy kick or two to those plastic spoke covers.

Anyway it was a sight to see how beefy the Taco caliper size-weight ratio is.
Gonna take another look at the Fuel offerings while I'm at it.

And thanks for letting me rant. I won't make it a habit.

But maybe it'd be fun if somebody started a thread about running accross pockets of this coy "rice burner" prejudice across the nation.
Much rarer in Canada I'd imagine.
