Does anyone know what the largest tire that will fit in the spare tire carrier, I’m currently running 285/70/17 but have not upgraded the spare, Thanks
I know I wasn't the only one looking at getting a set of bronze wheels. I couldn't find many pictures of them on white Tacoma's, so I'm hoping the look can be shown off a little here. If anyone else has bronze wheels on their rig, feel free to drop a picture too!
I have been doing some research for wheels and tires. I have been having trouble and coming back to the same conclusion no matter how much I read and try to understand, but can someone plesse explain to me how to size the proper wheels for back-space and offset for a certain lift height? If you...
I have a stock 2020 TRD Off-Road with a long bed and plan on getting this set up, I've been trying to do as much research as possible and would appreciate your guys inputs. Not trying to spend too much, but also not trying to get anything I'll regret. Don't plan on doing any hardcore rock...
Got a set of F5’s going to mount on some duratracs. Autozone has a 20% coupon.. what am I looking for in the sensors vs the type of material of wheels? I don’t want to look like an idiot going to get these mounted with incorrect parts, and then try and sell me a 75$ sensor.
If you have a...
I've done as much googling as I can take, so here I am.
I really like the aggressive stanced look, but I'm not looking to throw rocks across my cab when offroading. How wide am I able to go before noticing a big change in performance? I'm looking to run 35x12.5s.
Coming from the old school, I have my own opinion about steel wheels for off road use. I was always taught that you should be able to fix your junk on the trail, if need be. This included banging out bent wheels with a hammer then blasting the bead with starter fluid (i've had to do it) to...
I live in colorado and currently run the super popular BFG Ko2s and was really digging the look of the Falken Wildpeak MT tires. Just curious if anyone had any input on how they hold up. Will be doing a lot of off grid camping this spring and summer. Pics would also be appreciated. Thanks.
Picture from Central Texas. I'm torn between the two tires of BFg Ko2s and the KM3. Daily driver here in Texas and mostly easy terrain( rains alot here in Texas)., but may be moving to Colorado in the next year.
1. K02- great all around tired
2. Ko2 should get better mileage out of them????

Does anyone out there have a suggestion on a good all terrain in a 6 or 8 ply, C or D load range for a 16in wheel? If so, what are you running on your truck? I'm used to driving a F250 and 10plys. I just slapped a set of 235/85r16's on my Taco and it rides like crap now. The OME lift felt like a...
Hey guys, first post time I guess.
I am currently in the market for new wheels and tires for my 2019 TRD Off-road, and it seems clear that 265 75 R16's will fit on stock suspension. With that said, would a 275 75 or a 285 75 sized tire fit in the wheel well if I were to cut my front bumper...
I'm looking to get new wheels and put on 35" tires. Any suggestions on which brands to use for lift kits, wheels or tires? Also, how can I find out how much lift I will need and if my new wheel/tire combo will fit?
So I found a set of wheels I really like for the truck. My big concern however is that the center bore on these aftermarket wheels is 112.1mm. The stock CB is around 106. My question is... has anyone used a set of concentric spacers to keep things in line and where exactly can I find a set for...
Hey Guys,
Next week I’m installing the Low Range Off-road 3 inch kit on my 2018 TRD Sport. I’ve been going back and forth between the 285/70r17 and 255/80r17. I’m planning on running stock wheels because that’s really the look I’m going for, but I want to make sure there’s no clearance issues...
I was wondering if anyone has experience driving the TRD Pro stock tires (Good Year Kevlar reinforced M + S 265/70R16) in snow and if they are good enough. I am considering buying a separate set of snow tires if need be. I don't plan on modding tires or lifting the truck so this size is pretty...
Hey ya'll I have a silver taco, and am conflicted on what wheel to get. I am deciding between SCS's Ray 10 (either matte gunmetal or matte black) or Black Method NV's.
I really like all of these options, but I think the SCS R10 Matte Gunmetal is the most unique out of all of them.
Opinions or...

Guys,
I plan to lift my truck, I’m going to be doing some light/medium off-roading up here in NH on some logging roads during hunting season.
I want to lift and put big tires on but don’t want to CMC the truck! What can I do to avoid this?
Thanks
PS. I am new to Tacoma’s so don’t shit on...
Alright, I've been agonizing over this for awhile. I finally have money to replace the stock POS tires and get something far better. I'm 90% on road (9 months of that on very wet road, because Oregon) 6% gravel 2% snow/ice, 1% sand and 1% giant fucking puddles. I put about 8k miles on the truck...

Hi! New Tacoma owner here. What would be the biggest size wheels and tires you can put in without lifting and without scratching. The stock tires are looking small. Want to put a little bit more agressive tires. Thanks everyone!
Oh joy, went on a rampage on the trails this weekend. Fun right, rub age on the uca, grrrrr. Perplexing situation for me. Hate hate hate, one more time, hate wheel spacers. I also don’t what to shell out a fortune on a new set of wheels. Rocking 06’ tundra steelies, can’t find a decent set of...
I know the outer ring on these wheels are removable/replaceable, but has anyone ever painted or plasti-dipped them?
If so how'd they turn out? I'm thinking of getting mine powdered coated gunmetal grey.
Work Wheels has created a 6 lug offering for us. Fitment is ideal and is perfect!
Feel free to ask any questions, along with post up photos if you have purchased a set!

I am in the process of having a set of steel wheels powder coated to match my Tacoma I am having trouble sourcing a center caps and was wondering if anyone here knows of a center cap that will work on OEM steel wheels.

Looking at lifting and adding 285's to my 2019 Off Road. I see a lot of trucks with the KO2's but my local off road company doesn't suggest them for the Tacoma's because they aren't as balanced and they can give feedback back through the steering... but only on Tacoma's, they want to sell them...
A old man here, so go easy on me.
I read in the past on here a explanation of offset on rim in respect to tire fitmit.
I got rid of my 17 and ordered a 19 TrdOR. I already have, new Bilstien 5100/OME 887 coils, 3 leaf AAL and want to go to 285/75/16r.
My question is: If I put these 285's on...
Hello Tacoma3G community! I am a first time Tacoma owner and new to this forum, this is my first ever post so thank you in advance to anyone who reads or contributes to this thread.
I drive an 18' Cement TRD Off Road - Double Cab - Short bed that is completely stock. I've been driving it about...
So, I'm futzing with the trailer plug wiring (another post) and to get access I remove my spare for the first time. Many realities hit me at once. First off it's not getting rotated in with the other tires (that's on me, I assumed it would be but never really checked), second the rim is for...
Does anybody have anything to say about Kenda tires? I know nothing of them except I found they they are now making a 35x10.5 r16. It called the Klever R/T and looks like hybrid type all terrain. Good looking sidewalls too.
I'm really thinking about selling my TRD Baja wheels and 255 ST Maxx...
I recently installed 17x8.5 ray10s and 265/70/17 falken wild peaks. I had new sensors put in the new wheel/tire setup and sold the stock wheel/tire setup including the stock sensors. When town fair tire mounted the tires, they said they programmed the new sensors for my truck but also mentioned...
So I was plugging around on Amazon for interesting parts and I stumbled on these:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D755775/?tag=tacoma3g-20
They are crazy cheap which I wonder if that is reason alone to hesitate. I'm all stock though and I like the idea of a wider stance if only for the...
i have a completely new stock, base model, access cab 4x4 2019 taco with inline 4. I was wondering if its worth it to put bigger,wider tires/rims on it. Also in doing this, would it worsen the already crappily paired transmission to engine problem because it has its moments where it shifts...

Looking at getting 33x12.5 x18 with a -12 offset. Currently have factory set up with an SR5. 2 questions here
How much lift/level do I need to clear that tire? Not off roading hard just beach driving at the most.
2nd. What am I going to be looking at for fuel mileage? I knows there's...
I’m gonna pull the trigger on some ray10s when scs gets their next shipment in. I was originally thinking of doing 16s but now I think I’d rather go with 17s. I’m just not sure if I should do the 17x8.5 or 17x9. I have a trd sport dcsb and I plan on doing 265/70/17 tires, either ko2s or falken...
Something just didn't look right. I placed a level horizontally across the rear wheel wells and slid it down til it touched the tires and made my mark. Passenger side seems to be sticking out further than the drivers by about a 1/4 inch. The spacers are mounted flush, wheels flush to the...
Maybe I'm just missing it. But in my searching, I don't see any posts or anyone mentioning how they're adjusting the speedometer/calibration from going to a bigger wheel/tire setup. Every vehicle I've owned in the past, has had an available handheld tuner to adjust for this, so the speedometer...
Hi guys!
I have been scavenging the entire internet searching for a little bit more concise answers for me; I've given up and I wanted to put myself at the mercy of you fine folks.
I just bought a 2019 TRD Sport; I'm in absolute love with it. Except those tires and wheels. Yikes.
Lifting or...
Whats the best place to purchase a wheel/tire combo. Ive gotten quotes from RimzOne and Mr Wheel Deal. Curious to see if there are any other places people bought from.
I'll probably end up with 33" tires, I have 35's right now on my jeep and know how complex it can be to get up to this size, most of the people I wheel with have 33's.
Being new to Tacomas, I was wondering who is running 33's (or metric equivalent) and what your suspension setup looks like to...
So, I'm hoping to do the 5100's on my truck here in the next 6 months and I'd like to upgrade the tires as well. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll have enough money to toss on some aftermarket wheels so I'm wondering... I have a 18 Limited, what's the best tire I can toss on there for some...
Ok Tacoma 3G family.
So the truck was put to the test a few weekends ago. The lift and tires have got to happen, bone stock ain’t cutting it.
I plan to run bilstein 5100s. Looking for roughly 2.5 inches
My questions:
The adjustable 5100s is the way to go over the non adjustable?
What is the...
New Tacoma owner and new to 4wd in general. Just purchased a '19 Off-Road DC and settled on the Icon Stage 2 lift that includes the 1.5" AAL. Also considering Icon's 17 x 8.5" Alpha Wheels that are 4.75" B/S and 0mm offset. Their site states 33 x 11.50 tires, but I don't see many options in...
hi rookie question here. would it be easier/cheaper to purchase new and install myself or even take the sensors off my stock wheels and put them on my new trd wheels? as opposed to having it done at a shop. Some of the quotes i have been getting are pretty steep to have it done like 500/600$ on...
Hey Everyone
I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on upgrading my suspension and going with bigger tires. The issue I have is will I be able to keep my current wheels TRD Pro wheels (Part# PT7583517002 ) and upgrade to bigger tires? I've searched around and found conflicting info on whether...
So I bought my 2017 offroad at the end of 2018 so I am still new to the truck life. I have had my eye on the TRD pro wheels since I bought the Tacoma and now that I got some money back on my tax return I have some extra money to put into tires and wheels. There is a pair on craigslist I have...
I just bought a set of BF Goodrich KM3 tires for my truck from 4WheelParts who was running a special for $100 off a set of any BFG tires plus free shipping and no tax. Seemed pretty legit and I was in the market for tires anyways. Obviously the KO2s are an extremely popular tire choice, but the...
This is a thread for people who are unsure to what tire they want to go with and can see some past experiences others have had. Post some pictures of your tire setup with sizes and tell what the ride quality is like, mpg's you get, onroad use experience, offroad use experience, or anything else...
When you guys lifted your trucks and went with aftermarket wheels, how much did the wheel width factor into your decision? When I install the Falcon leveling kit think I want to stick with a 17" wheel, maybe an 18", but not real sure if the width matters much.
Hey everyone! Nice to finally be part of this forum. I have a 16 Tacoma TRD sport. First time having a truck from driving 2 door ricers. I'm looking into getting new tires and wheels. Any recommendations? Also would it be advisable to lift the truck as well?
So I have always wanted to know what this setup would look like. I’ve never been able to find 35s on the stock OR wheels, until tonight because I just got done mounting them.
This thread is for anyone else that might be curious.
Important: I purposely adjusted my UCAs to add a sketchy amount...
I’m thinking about getting Anthem Off Road Enforcers for my 2019 TRD. Have any of you used Anthem before and if so how was the quality? I’m going to be keeping my suspension stock and I’m thinking about getting 17” wheels and 265/65R17 A/T tires. Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks!
What's up guys... I am shopping around for a tailgate spare tire system. I seen that C4 just made one that swings out and connects to your hitch. Also Wilco has one any suggestions or likes on specific brands? Thanks!
I just ordered a 6" pro comp coil over lift for my 2018 Tacoma Double Cab TRD Sport 4x4.
I want to run 35x12.50r18 tires, fuel or moto metal wheels, tires will be probably BFG or Falken all terrain.
Either way, I'll be running 18x9 wheels. I'm curious what offset to go with and will stock lug...

Just got some Cooper ST MAXX in 255/85/16 and was wondering what tire pressure folks are running these at? I have a canopy, sliders, skids and a rear bumper. The ride is noticeably stiffer then with my C rated Durotracs. Im currently running them at 30-32psi. Love the tires, just looking for a...
So, we got 13 inches of snow overnight here in town. That is unheard of on the valley floor and I have my Tacobra safely hidden away in the car-hole because I don't want any idiots to crash into me. But, if I have to venture out I will want to put these new cable chains on. Note, I am running...
When you guys bought new wheels, did you also purchase the sensors with the wheels? Why or why not? I see it as a recommended option on a site with wheels I'm interested in...
I noticed something odd after my 15k service today. After driving for a couple blocks the truck was feeling a bit off so I checked the onboard PSI indicator. All of my tires (being pretty cold at the time) were at 36 PSI. Now, if you look at the specs on the sticker in the driver's door 30 PSI...
So I ran into a problem yesterday with my UCA rubbing my new tires. I just bought the Cooper AT3 285/70/16. I’m sitting on a 2 inch leveling kit as well with stock rims. I don’t really want to go with a spacer kit because well it seems to be like people just don’t like them. Should I go with...
Looking at turning my 2019 TRD Off Road into an overland rig and need some advice with tires and a lift. I've been going back and forth between 33's and 35's, what are the main pros and cons between the two. From what I've read so far it seems to be that quite a bit of extra work is needed for...
Looking to see if there's anyone running the 4Runner TRD Pro Wheels on a Cement Double Cab Tacoma? I am trying to see if I'd like the look, I would ideally put a lift on the truck so seeing it on a lifted truck with 33's or so would be nice. :)
So I was watching Rob's video about cutting the exhaust for make room for a bigger spare and it got me wondering about re-positioning mine. My thought would be to have it vertically mounted in the bed on the driver side parallel with the mounted tires. Has anyone seen any mounting solutions for...
So it took a few months but I finally got my lift and tires on the truck.
Also took the running boards off which makes it look much more agressive.
So the tires are Dick Cepek extreme country’s in 285/70/17. Really aggressive tread and are really quiet. The wheels are Method Racewheels...
I figured i would throw an end all be all in here to settle the age old question "what tire size will fit".
This is my personal opinion and experience, taking into consideration measurements of the wheel well with the cab mount in mind.
You do not have to follow this chart if you have plans to...
Any experience with these TRD center caps? (Toyota Part PT280-35170-02 as seen to the right of my 2017 TRD Sport centers) I'd like to know if they fit snuggly on the stock Sport or Off Road wheels. Also wondering if there is a matte version to the gloss? Photo below of these TRD centers on the...
I’ve heard good things about this tire, a new private label to Les Schwab. Put them on yesterday, I don’t have many miles on them yet but so far so good. I’ll try to update on how they are. Heading to the mountains and snow this weekend to really give them a go.
Well I’ve had my Tacoma a year. I’ve done a few things here and there and now I think I’m ready for 35s. So after research I am aware and fine with chopping up my body mount and welding a plate, beating down the pinch weld, and I’m having the spindle reinforcement ordered here shortly. I have a...
Thought I’d add some pics of the new rims/tires on stock suspension!
Fuel podium 17x9 -12mm offset

I've bought a 3" lift/level kit for my 2019 tacoma trd off road. I am wondering if anyone has done the same and how big of a tire I could fit under it after I have it installed? Thanks
How much of a lift do you guys think I need to run 35s? I'm currently running 285s but would like to go bigger I'm sure that my truck has a slight lift or leveling kit now but curious what I would need to do to go to 35s
Look what was waiting for me when i got home today!Look what was waiting for me when i got home today. Dam the 285/75/17 ST MAXX, they look huge compared to my Nitto G2's 285/70/17's ! These are going to look so good mounted cant wait!!!:p
I have never ran a Cooper tire. Running 285/70/17 Nitto Grappler 2's . Want go up to a 285/75/17 really like the look of the ST Maxx, Anyone have any pro or con thoughts on these or better option?????
So I'm trying to decide between the ridge grappler and the trail grappler. I had the trail grapplers on my jeep and loved them. I'm just not sure how they would hold up on the truck. Anyone have some insight?
