New diff, wheels, and tires

like to run285 70 17 or maybe 285 75 17.

 

I don't see why not dependent on your lift height......

 

my 2007 had 285 75 16 with 3 inch spacer lift, spacer lift was shit so switched to bilstien51 series night and day difference!!!!!!

 

Thanks for info have great weekend!

 

I bet, spacer lift is not idea haha

 

OP, I'm not sure I understand. What tires (brand, 265 or 275?) did you get and is that the TRD Pro 17-inch wheel? And you got both tire/wheel for $171 each?

By the way, are those wheels black or gunmetal? I''m thinking of doing the same when my truck rolls in. (Sorry for all the questions)

 

Ahh, never mind of tire size, seems you answered my question earlier in the thread.

 

I'm running 17x7 trd wheels with 265 70 r17 KO2 tires. The wheels were $171 each and tire, $198 each. I'm on stock suspension, therefore the reason for my tire size choice....

 

Looks good! Have you had a chance to stuff a tire or flex the suspension to see if the next size tire would fit without rubbing? I assume the next size would be 265/75/17.
A tire calculator says the'd be 1" taller.

 

I did not try the 75. I figure I'd stick with the 70, let them wear and then go lift and bigger.....

 

Damn. SEXY ass taco!!

 

I've been thinking about upgrading the (steel) wheels on my Tacoma. Let me know if you decide to sell your old ones. I'm in Lafayette, CO

 

Some folks are also having good luck with 275/70r17. Gives the extra inch plus more width, but takes some minor cutting.

 

You got it man!
