3rd Gen - Stock Wheels w/ Max Tire Size (Maybe Sticky?)

That is the size and tire I have. Had them out this weekend on harder trails and no rubbing at all. Stock OR rims.

 

Yep. I’ve taken it on multiple trails, over some decent size boulders, still no rubbing

 

What tire are you running

 

I would gladly go up to a 255/80 or 85/16 if they came in a C Load & 3 peak snow designation like my 265/75/16 Duratrac's.

 

I have a TRD Sport with the 17" stock wheels and have the same questions as the OP. Most say 265/70/17's will work OK. However, have heard nothing definitive on 255/75/17's or 255/80/17's. Both taller but not as wide.

 

Following

 

I need to know the same

 

They will work provided the wheel offset and backspacing is the same as the 16 inch stock rim. If it is, the tire size is essentially the same as a 255/85/16 with just a larger opening for the 17 inch rim

In case you are unfamiliar with offset and backspacing here is a visual

Hate to revive an old thread, but do you think these Copper 255/85/16 would fit on my 2018... here's the catch, I have the beadlock wheels from the 2015 pro. They have an offset of +10 as opposed to the 2018 OEM +25...

 

How much did this affect the performance of your tacoma...Tranny, MPG, etc?

 

Maybe a 0.5 mpg drop. As far as acceleration...no difference imo but some people say they notice a difference. Some people are also highly sensitive to that sort of thing. Steering on freeway driving feels a little more sensitive though.

 

Awesome! Thanks for the great feedback. Your truck looks sick!

 

i have rubbing with 285/70/r17 on my pro

 

The width on the 285 will do that. You’d need 255s to not rub

 

265/75/16's needed to trim the OEM mud flaps on the front.. not much trimming but still needed it.. 2018 TRD Off Road stock height

 

Can you post a few pictures of your 265/75 at2's. Same tires I am looking to purchase for my 2019

 

Reviving an old thread for one more question about 265/75/16 tires on stock 16 inch rims :

Will these fit in the spare tire well without issues?

considering the Nitto or Yokohamas in the not too distant future.
