Tire sizing please help

hey guys new here to the forum, looking for some help on tire sizing. Currently have stock 2009 Tacoma, but am planning on some new tires and rims for it. Could I run 285/70/r17 with 17x8 rims on my Tacoma if I install Bilstein 5100 set at 2.5? Pretty new to this so any help is greatly appreciated guys. Thanks!

 

No.

Unless you want to trim and/or cut and weld.

 

Tons of info on this topic here. I'd suggest spending some time reading.

The biggest tire you can fit with a 3" lift is the biggest tire you can fit without a lift - 265/70/17.

Bigger than that and the first post applies.

 

Okay thanks guys i appreciate it!

 

We both welcome you to the forum.

 

I lol'd AF

 

Stay with 265's. Its a lot of bs going to 285's.

 

255s would work also.

 

^this. Taller tire with less trimming

 

Would 255/75/r17 still fit the 17x8 wheels ?

 

And how much trimming you guys think I'd have to do with the 255s?

 

Yes.

 

Probably none or very little.

 

34x10.5x17

 

Knew it was coming. Almost said it earlier.

 

Would the 34x10.5x17 fit just as good ? If that makes sense lol

 

No.

 

More trimming I'm guessing ??

 

And if I run 265/70/r17 with 17x8 would it still be wise to get the bilstein 5100s?

 

If you were looking to upgrade your suspension from stock but not for tire clearance. What are you looking to do with your truck?
