    I am not sure if this has been discussed yet, but does anyone know how large of tires you can get away with on a 2006 Tacoma with 16 inch rims. I am not impressed with the factory tires and am thinking of replacing them with some BFG's. I want to go with 265/75R/16, but I do not know if I will have clearance issues.

    Anyone upsize their factory tires yet? Thanks,

    SAM

    suggestions: 35" with a 3" lift. i have 295/40/20's custom wheels. so it is your preference.

    You shouldn't have any problems with that size tire, your only going to have a total of a 1 inch increase in tire diameter, 1/2 inch radius isn't going to make that much difference.

    Has a fold up cover, gets an extra 2-3 mpg on hwy.
    I have 16" Rav4 rims. not highlander, don't know if that matters.
    They are chromed and will show off the white and Chrome rear bumper very nicely. not too tiajuana i hope!
    Tire size...?
    A buddy says since my stock size is 215-70-15,
    I could go with a 205-65-16 and not mess up the speedo and odometer.
    i think I am already 3mph slow on the speedo ....
    what size do I go with?
    This could be a crap shoot!
    I am still thinking a 215-65-16, maybe a 235-65-16.

    HELP !!!

    I have Rav4 rims on with a 225-60-16 tire.
    looks very nice, has enough clearance all around .

    thinking about upgrading from stock steel rims to a sequoia rim, it's 17'' x 6'' is this a good option for an 07 double cab?

    running a 05 reg cab 4x4 with 265 75 16's. no clearance problems. I must point out though, these are blizzack dmz-2 and not some knobby mud tires which might present a clearance problem. Your best bet is to go to tireracks website or call them as they are extremely knowledgeable about what fits and what does not.

    IIRC 265/65R17 or an equivalent is about as large as you can go without a lift.
