Can stock tires be replaced with larger ones ??

I have a 2006 SR5 TRD 4X4 Crew Cab regular bed that is equipped with stock tires (265 / 70 / 16). Could anybody advise if I could go to a 285 /70 /16 without incurring tire rub. Is it possible to do this without a lift kit or any other change? The truck has had NO modifications. Thanks

 

You WILL rub at 285 without a lift.

The max you can go without a lift is 265/75/16.

 

Not sure about the 285's, but I believe you can do the 265/75/16's...

Hopefully, others will chime in...

I went w/ the stock size b/c I live in the mountains can't afford any loss of power...

 

Good point......overlooked loss of power.

 

You aren't going to "lose power". I saw absolutely no difference of any kind in going with 265/75/16, including MPG.

 

It may not be noticeable, but it in fact does make a difference...

And you are correct, you don't actually lose power motor wise, but the effective gear ratio does change...

I'm waiting until I can afford lower gears, suspension lift, and rims and tires before I go bigger...

Just sayin'

It's science, not an opinion...
