Help with tire size.

[2010njtaco]

I have a 2010 tacoma trd sport double cab with a icon vehicle dynamics stage 3 lift. Right now i have 265/70r17s on the stock rims. I might be purchasing 275/75/16s and the rims have a -6mm offset. Could anyone give me a head up on the tire or rim size as far as rubbing or anything. Thanks

Does the stage 3 give a true 3" of front lift?

 

[2010njtaco]

Sorry i ment 285 not 275. The lift is is set at 2.5

 

[silverpataco]

When the wheel is turned all the way and the suspension is flexed does it hit the body mounts ?

 

[2010njtaco]

No it doesnt. With the current wheels i have (265/70/r17) there is nothing hitting or rubbing anywhere.

 

[silverpataco]

Once you go to 285/70-17 you'll probably hit the Body Mounts . Mine are chopped and welded .

 

[2010njtaco]

Ok thank you. Does it make a difference if im going from 265/70/17 to 285/75/16 with the wheel being an inch smaller?b

 

[2010njtaco]

Also will 16 inch clear the calipers?

 

[silverpataco]

16" will be fine. I bought my 07 in Dec. 14 with 16" factory wheels . My buddy had 17" sport factory that he gave me.

Thank you for your help

285s require 4.5 backspacing so youllneed proper rins to accommodate them

 

[silverpataco]

I've got 285/70-17 BFG KO's on factory 17" with 1 1/2" wheel spacer . BMC done on a frame going by by soooon I hope!

 

[2010njtaco]

Do you have a lift or no? Also what if i her rims with an offset of -6?

 

[NapalmTRD]

If you get 16" rims, just make sure that whoever balances the tires places the tape weights on all 4 rims to allow for proper tire rotations. From personal experience, those front calipers don't leave much space with my stock 16" rims.


Now I'm no mechanic, but I'll take a beer and look at your truck anyway...

 

[2010njtaco]

Haha thank you

Just get the offset rims spacers are a no no on tacos the hub does notnline up well on the axle and causes the rim to hop around

Have you run spacers on any Toyota yet?I put 188,000 on my FJ no problems wheeled it often. So far on the Taco no issues only 5,000 on it from me.

Some of the rubs look a bit awkward, but the main ones are obvious.

My friend is replacing all bearings right now from spacers on his taco for only 20k miles

Mine fit great on the hubs , a bit of thread lock, torqued no problems. What brand did he use? Were they installed correctly?
