    I purchased a 2016 Tacoma SR5/ V6 4X4 with 285/65R18 tires. The vehicle originally had 245/75R16 tires. Any concerns ?

    Don't you own the truck?

    If it rubs, you'd already know.

    Conversion of your 285/65R18 to inches is 32.6" x 11.2".
    Your stock size of 245/75R16 is 30.5" x 9.7".
    Limited's run 285/60R18 equaling 30.5" x 10.4".

    I imagine the extra 2.1" diameter causes rubbing unless you have a lift kit?

    Nice looking truck there... looks lifted to me maybe an inch?? The tire would rub the front skirt driving straight without a lift right out of the gate... so must be lifted.

    I checked- no lifts and no rubbing as of now. Is it possible that it will start to rub once the truck is more "broken in"? back1.jpg
