33 inch tires on Stock

I have a 2011 stock tacoma with 16 inch wheels and want to put 33 inch tires on am I going to need a lift or level kit? I can't get a straight answer from anywhere??

 

I’ll don’t believe so. But here’s an easy idea. Run down to the tire shop and have them mount a 33 on your rim and put on your truck, you’ll have your answer pretty quick.

 

Sure it will fit. As long as you drive straight.

 

You can. As long as you don’t mind cutting, bending and trimming, lifting, realigning.

 

It all depends on if you want to turn or how much your willing cut

 

Your gonna need a lift, cmc, proper sized wheels ie offset and backspacing, if you’re gonna keep stock rims plan on some hub centric spacers.
You can fit a 255/85/16 or 255/80/17 and be stock may have to trim some of the fender liner up front and remove mud flappers.

 

255/85r16 will fit using stock wheels. basically 33x10 = pizza cutters. as above, maybe remove mud flaps up front, maybe not. not all 255's are created equal. the Toyo MT is 33.5 tall, the Cooper ST Maxx is 32.8 tall etc....

 

Straight answer is yes, you can with alot of cutting. Realistically for most people no.

 

Something to think about.

Do you need 33", or want them?

ie, is this a functional issue or cool factor?

If functional, dive in and take required corrective actions as problems arise. Not cheap, but a requirement to fulfill a function.

If cosmetic only, you can certainly proceed, just realize there is a price to be paid for the look.

 

There is a lot of info about skinny 33's and how the fit. Dig around the site. Don't take much of what you read for fact here either! If you can fit the tires with a lift, they will fit stock. Under compression lifted or stock there is the same amount of room for the tires. People on this site will argue back and forth all year long about shit they don't have real experience with. In my case I am 3rd gen, I believe there is a slight difference in front for ride height in stock form from the 2nd gen. If you don't want skinny 33's then the others that say cutting required are absolutely correct.
