    2.5" level kit
    Hello everyone, I'm brand new to this forum and recently I have bought a 2017 Tacoma TRD off-road with a 2.5" leveling kit installed. I want tires that are larger and much more aggressive. I really want the Nitto mud grapplers but the smallest size they have for my wheel is a 305/70R16. I need to know if I should risk it or not. I drive my truck only to school and work, no off-roading hardly ever and I am willing to do some trimming and I am already aware that they will most likely rub on the Frame. I am also aware that I will most likely need spacers. I want to hear some opinions.
    thanks

    Try 285/75 16 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Aggressive tread but not as aggressive a tread as the Mud Grapplers but better for on-road since you say hardly any off roading. Shouldn't rub with your lift but an alignment can help a lot if they do.

    Why would you want big mud tires to drive on the street? You're going to lose 5~ mpg.

    CPS-65 I’m good for some, but I’m not for everyone.

    That is likely a pretty heavy tire and the width is going to create some problems.
    Diminished power, braking, more unsprung weight. There are better size choices. If you are not off reading it you are also choosing a tire that will generate more road noise and not be as good in the rain.
    Tire choices are often a balance of what you get and what you give up.
