    i have an 03 Tacoma with 265/70R 16 tires on it that need to be replaced. What other size tires can be used on those rims. I'm having trouble finding used tires that are the same size.

    The 265/70/16 is a pretty common tire size.... There's a few sizes you could go.

    245/75/16
    265/75/16

    There is a Tire Size Calculator on the interwebs somewhere and you can punch in your current tire and other tire sizes and see the difference.


    Hope that helps!

    Thanks, I found someone with 245/70 16’s mounted on Toyota 6 lug rims, but I wasn’t sure if those rims would be different width.

    Make sure they are 1st gen taco/3rd gen 4runner 16" wheels. Backspacing is different on the later gens and you'll encounter frame rub at full lock when turning.
