I have 245/75/16 now, will 265/75/16 fit?

I'd like to to upgrade from the Dunlop tires on my SR5 4x4. They're 245/75/16 and the tread isn't that aggressive as some of you may know. I like the wheels so I don't feel the need to upgrade them if it isn't necessary to accomodate the larger tires.

I'm looking @ 265/75/16 BFG ATs or Goodyear Dura-Tracs.

1: Will I run into any fitment problems since my wheel is only 7" wide?

2: Perhaps some rubbing problems inside the wheel well?

FWIW, I'm going to level the front out with some Bilstein 5100s...

3: Should I do that before I get bigger tires or does it matter?

Thanks in advance

 

I switched from the Dunlop 245's to the Duratracs in 265/75/16 earlier this fall. I have had absolutely no rubbing at all on my 4X4 SR5 with no lift... No fitment issues on the stock rims...

 

That's good to hear, thanks for posting up your personal experience!

 

No problem... Happy to help.

265/75/16 is the biggest tire you can put on a stock Taco without having rubbing issues

 

Awesome, let the shopping commence

 

lol....I needed to see this, like 10 minutes ago

 

Any chance you may have some pics to share? Im curious what the 265/75 in the duratrac looks like on stock. Thanks!

 

These tires are awesome! I think they ride much better than the stock 245/65 Dunflaps. I got these in a 265/75 load range C. I feel like I have more control and it goes over bumps smoother. There is also no rubbing issues whatsoever. If you leave the mudflaps on then there is a chance of rubbing on the flaps because the tires get really close to where the mudflaps are.

 

Damn that looks good!
