Right aftermarket wheel size for my Tacoma.

Yeah you'll be safe with 8" or 8.5"
I work at www.autoanything.com if you happen to see a wheel there that you like let me know and I'll try and get you a deal just shoot me a PM

 

For example i found my wheels (XD hoss) in a 16x8 with 4.5" backspacing and 0mm offset. Then i went looking for a tire and found a great deal for 265/75r16 BFG KO tires load E for 145$ Each. In the width spec on the tire it said alows for a 7.5-8" wheel width. Got them and they worked perfect.

 

Why did i not know this 5 weeks ago haha

 

Ok guys one more question... What if I wanted to keep the stock 16 inch steel rims on my truck? What tire size would look more aggressive and make the truck taller with the front leveling lift?

265/70/16s?

 

Well you know now

265/75-16 is the largest without issue.
265/70-16 is stock for trd models, and you can go up one size from that. I take it you have 245 tires now?

 

Yes the 245s is what is on my truck now. The stock size. Looks kinda cheesy with the small tires.

 

Lol. Yeah it'll look a lot better with the bigger tires

 

Try googling pis of the 265/70 on your truck stock and see what you think. The 265/75 may rub some but not 100% sure

 

265/70-16 matches factory on the TRD models. The base model has the same ride height, just looks so much smaller because the 245 tires. 265/70-16 will fit as is. 265/75-16 will also fit as is, but looks perfect paired with a ~1" lift up front to help level the truck out. No rubbing issues.
Googling some pictures or searching the forum for pictures is a great idea though.

 

Yeah I checked it out and it should look awsome. I just thought "why get the rims, when it will look good with bigger tires..."

 

I'm most likely going to get the Kumho Road Venture AT51.

 

Both 265/75-16 (32" dia) and 255/85-16 (33" dia) will fit. 255/85-16 looks taller but is more limited in selection (only 2-3 tire choices, in heavy load range E); you will also start to see some minor power loss from the 8% taller gearing.

 

@757yotas ... Do you have a lift/level on your Taco?

 

Yes, i have OME 881s with 5100 shocks up front along with a 3/8" spacer on the drivers side for lean. The rear is lifted with OME Dakar leaf packs.

 

@757yotas Finally! Someone who has what I am looking at getting! I have a 2003 DBLC 4wd TRD/SR5. I want to ask a few questions:
1) I plan on installing an ARB bumper w/winch (maybe not immediately but soon). Will the 881's suffice or should I get the 882's? (I will be using the OME Nitrocharger front and rear shocks instead of the 5100's)
2) I have purchased 16x8 alloy rims/0 offset/4.5 bs. What tire size are you running?

 

1) The 881s will ride better and look like you want with the stock bumper (or light tube bumper), but the ARB is heavy so if you plan on getting on plus a winch i would get the 883s. The 883s provide the same lift as 881s but have more spring rate so it will be a harsher ride at first but will ride nice once that new bumper goes on. 882s are going to give you to most lift but if you like the look of 881s then 883s are your best bet. If i was you id get 883s and deal with the harsher ride for alittle till i got the bumper.

2) i run LT265/75r16 BFG KO tires. Its a great looking tire for the lift and needs no trimming required. Great for offroad aswell as you have more flex room.

 

What about new uca's? Do I need them?

 

No the stock work fine
