    So I have a 2014 Tacoma SR and I'm looking to get rid of the stock tires and rims, I was thinking initially about 245/75/16 but then realized I wanted a more aggressive look so now I'm leaning towards the 265/70/16. The only thing is that I can't find a definite answer anywhere if they will fit without rubbing. Does anyone know?

    That thread doesn't answer about 16 inch wheels, only 15.

    Use this to calculate the overall tire size You don't have to upgrade wheels. You can get the same overall tire size and stay with 15" wheels. A 31/10.50/15 is virtually the same size as a 265/70/16.

    But you also need to consider the engine in your truck. Either 31/10.50/15 or 265/70/16 is considerably larger than your current tire. Even 245/75/16 is a lot bigger. If you have the 4 cyl and go that big your truck will be a lot less powerful.

    Any of those sizes will fit a 6 lug truck. Not sure about a 2wd 5 lug.
