285/75/16 instead of 265/75/16 worth it?

I've considered it. There just isn't a different wheel out there that I really want over my current TRD beadlock style wheels. Possibly the 6-lug version of the tundra rock warrior wheels, but I'd be paying up the ass for them.

 

Those are the ones I have. Scored off CL NIB.

 

Does a bear shit in the woods? Is the sky blue? Are boobs good?
Go big brother you will love it!

 

Got any pics of this on a Tacoma?

 

Not yet that I've seen but they may be my next tire

 

figure you'll be able to rock those tall fuckers as is on your sport wheels?

 

Maybe

 

So no one is going to ask? Ok.


What are your intentions with the truck? Street queen? Mall Crawler? Overlander/ crawler? Off roader at a higher speed than crawling through rocks? Mud slinger?

 

Well thats actually a good question. I do some very light off roading, nothing really major, i have a polaris rzr for that. So it will mainly be street use but there is the chance that it will go offroad, but no kind of rock crawling or anything major like that. Just maybe out some fire roads or gas well roads to have a fire and drink some.

 

it look like there are some guys with 4Runners running 'em.

 

If that was sometime last year I remember seeing them on cl. I had other priorities on my list at the time. You snooze you lose I guess.

 

Yep, those were likely the ones.

 

I wish I would have went with 265

 

Oz how much trimming was required to fit those I really want to go that size next go around

 

IMO if you OffRoad and see a serious need for bigger tires, that's when you should upgrade. If you see a need for more ground clearance, then you should go up a size. But since you're only going on fire roads and are daily driving it, I'd stick with 265s. You can go everywhere you're wanting to go with 265s without a problem.

 

IDK , I have 275/70/17

There's a 255/85/16 owners thread though and with stock BS wheels , trimming is minimal to none

 

What was the downfall of going to 285's?

 

I think I replied a different way forst lol Sorry never done it. There wasn't much of a downfall. Just had to do a little bit of trimming to the flares and liners. But I need to trim the cab mount I think. At full left turn you can't even fit a finger between the tire and cab mount.

 

285/75/16

I trimmed interior plastic out. Did a cab mount chop and beat in the pinch weld. No rubbing even at full lock

 

Is that stock suspension?
