Largest tire size on stock 5 lug

great looking tire - I got them at walmart but beware, walmart wont install because they don't match the original tire size -- but no worries just to sears, they will take your money and do a nice job. no lift no rubbing , the tires , stock rims, truck look 15 times better... wondering why Toyota didnt go with this size from the beginning. 235/75/15

pics to follow

 

What is the rim width that you put those bigger tires on. Mine are the stock 6" wide steelies and am concerned that the 235 won't fit on them very well. I think they will fit but just not the way they should. 6' is a bit narrow but 215 or 225 should be good, ....yes, no, maybe? Mines an 04 taco ext cab 4 cyc, 5 speed 2WD and it too came with 205x75x15--trailer size tires. I really need bigger tires but don't want to go with a lift or buy wheels just at least 215s.

 

I ended up going with the 235 75 15 Yokohama Geolanders. Truck looks good and drives good. I was gonna do the fat bobs lift but im not sure. these new tires give it a good look.

 

I have the stock 15 inch rims -- the 235 fit awesome -- ill post pics as soon as I remember to take a pic ...

 

So I know there is already alot been said about 2wd base tacomas.

But I have an 07' tacoma access cab 4 cyl. I got the truck for the MPG so I want as little rolling resistance as possible but I also like the bigger wheel look. I am looking at the Firestone Destination Le 2 in the 215/75r15.
Does this sound like a good choice??? Thanks, first post!!

 

Anybody knows what kind of offset could i put to my 5lug so it could be stickingout a little out off my fender im not trying to get it to sticking out way to much

 

LEVI, If I had an 07 I believe that I would go with at least 16 rims for my tires but if yours came with 15s - 225/75/15 will fit those rims.

 

Do those raise the truck up a little and make it ride taler than the stock tires?

 

@biker105...
if you are asking about the 235/75/15 ... yes they make the truck look tall, about 2 inches taller and looks great... it doesn't look too rednecky but just tall enough to look a lot better then the stock tires... ill post some pics this week...


cheers

 

@jballfl,
That would be awesome! I am in the market for new tires, I want to keep the stock 15 rims, but want bigger tires to lift the truck up a little bit. It rides so low it's ridiculous, and I want it to ride like my old 01 TRD quad cab. It would be awesome if it lifts it a couple inches like you said! Pics would be awesome! Any suggestions on tires? I was thinking the all terrains from bf Goodrich, but do they make those in 235/?/15? Also, do they rub?? Like will I notice it and be annoyed?

 

@biker105 here's my 08 with the readylift kit and 235/75/15 with the stock rims.



They will not rub even without a lift. If you go larger you're gonna have to do the black box mod. I had 225's before the 235's and I can tell you for a fact that the 235's look AND feel better.



Here's a picture from the rear. You can tell they fill the wheel well a lot better than the stock 215's, but I've seen stock's with 245s and they fill a bit nicer imo. Honestly, I sometimes wish I went 245's for the little difference in height and fill alone, but I am more than content with the 235's. I think it was also mentioned before, but with the 235's and a readylift kit (spacer and an extra leaf) your speedometer will be just fine. Parked next to a prerunner without any mods, they barely and I mean barely, sit a bit lower looking from the front.

 

Looking good aggiepack -- @biker I got the goodyear wranglers at walmart - walmart wont install them because they aren't the stock size but I just drove them to sears and they put them in no problem... they have the big thread and look good.

 

my tires -- way better than stock

 

This is a picture of my 2010 Access Cab with 16" Enkei Wheels and 235/65/16 Firestone Destination LE2's. (package deal from Tire Rack). Truck sits 1" taller, speedo now correct (was about 5% fast before), wheel wells filled out nicely and truck runs smooth on the new setup (Tire Rack does road force balancing). Mileage about the same when I factor in the odometer difference, avg 23mpg. Youd don't need to go all the way to 235/75's to get a nice look.

 

I just put some 18x8 wheels with 40mm offset. The tires are 235 55R 18. They fill the wheel well up nicely without sticking out. The speedo is now perfect.

 

I have 11.50 32" on stock wheels on my unlifted 99 trd. Light rub on frame at full lock.

if i do the black box mod can i fit a 255x70x16 without a lift

 

Our current tires are wearing down and we are planning for a trip down to Baja with our '07 2.7 2wd AC daily driver w/ 132k on it...we need new tires for bad roads and some offroad sections...

We are considering upsizing from stock 215 70R15s street tires to 235 75R15s ATs.

Will the 235's fit?

We understand it would throw the mileage and speed off a bit and could probably live with that...also a little less torque, a bit heavier, a bit less gas mileage...did we miss anything?

1" more clearance...other positives to going bigger except looks? Roll over obstacles better?

Any other issues we should be aware of?

We are leaning towards BFG KO2s after looking at Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws, MT Deegan 38s, Yokohama Geolandars and Bridgestone Revo AT2s...mainly because my wife feels more comfortable buying tires at Costco (and the others - except for the Bridgestones - aren't carried there) and the BFGs look pretty bulletproof. She doesn't want to get stranded on some Baja backroad. LT metric C rating on those...$70 off a set of 4. We plan on buying 5 since the spare is a street tire and old and apparently dryrot is a thing here in Phoenix.

Opinions on tire brand and size choice?

We also purchased five (one for the spare) 15 x 8 wheels on Lance's (Toyota expert at 4 Wheel Parts) recommendation. Apparently, he is on this forum and is aware of the brake caliper issue...He mentioned that these would clear the brake calipers whereas none of the aftermarket steelies that they carry would. We probably would have liked the look of 16" wheels better, but the price went up quite a bit for those (and the tires, too)...so we stuck with the 15's and got 'em for 20% off, no tax, free shipping... -19 offset.




I think the stock steelies have a +34 offset...someone please correct me if I'm wrong...if that's true the new wheels will bump the tires out about 2.5 inches...which is what we wanted...




Are we in the ballpark on our thinking here? Any suggestions to improve the scenario? We've already given it a lot of thought, but don't want to make a bonehead mistake that others could easily see... Mahalo.

p.s. - One reason we were looking at the Falken's is for their $50 less per tire price and snow rating. We may go up to snow country occasionally, but it's not really on the radar at the moment...and not the primary concern...just nice to have the option of a tire that will perform well in the snow...

 

Actually you can fit 245/75/16 with no mods at all

 

@Steven07 will the 245/75/16 work for an '07 2.7l 4x2 AC?
