What Is The BEST Wheel/Tire Combo For The 3RD Gen Toyota Tacoma?

What is the best wheel and tire for the 3rd generation toyota tacoma!! In today's video I talk about the best wheel and tire for the 3rd generation toyota tacoma. This is a question that I see almost everyday from tacoma owners on a facebook page that I am apart of. Since I am on my second set and have learned quite a lot about this, I figured I make a video on what I have done and hopefully this will help you out on picking out your next set! With both of my setups, I have had virtually no rubbing, mostly offroad, but I think these have been great setups without having to do any trimming. The specs I talked about were for the Nitto Ridge Grapplers, so if you do want other tires, use these measurements to help you on that along with the wheel specs. If you are familiar with the channel we like to keep things looking as if it could have been stock, or be able to put things back to stock if needed, so with these setups, they are mild in the stance, but at the same time plenty of clearance for daily driving and going offroad! Let me know if you have any other questions about a new setup!

I never thought picking new tires would be this difficult 😭

I know right!! I'm almost at the perfect setup now running a 34'' tire, but still have wheel spacers so next up is the right wheel with a negative offset and I'll be set!

You’ve given me tons of info for my 2017 TRD sport Thanks a million

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Awesome man! What have you done to it so far!?

[@AlaskanGoldMiner]

Another great video. Thank you. After an obsessive amount of research, I went with a 3”/2” lift, then installed Ridge Grapplers 285/70/R17, 9” wide Mayhem wheels with -10mm offset. The tires are 6-ply, C-rated, thus saving weight. E rating is overkill for my needs. I’m happy to report that I have zero rubbing on the cab mount at full stuff. I did have to trim a few centimeters of plastic on the front outside corner of the wheel well. Very easy fix with the Dremel and a bit of heat gun. I could not be happier with how it turned out!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Sounds like a great setup! I'd like to go to a negative offset soon!

[@xgonnagiveit]

[@matthewgunther782]

That’s about the same setup I will be going with. I’m pretty confident with the plastic trimming but I’m worried about cab mount rubbing because I live above the rust belt and would rather not do the chop.

[@nightbreed141]

I love 17 inch by 8.5 inch with no offset which is the perfect wheel size for all around daily driving and off road ! There's a lot of data behind this size wheel plus saves a lot of gas vs a 9 inch or 10 inch. Without a lift I love a 265x70 tire with that setup as well !

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

There's not going to be a significant mpg difference between the wheel being wider. The wider the tire possibly the heavier it is. Where are you seeing this information? We are talking a few pounds of a difference. Obviously stock tires will differ from larger ones of course. But as long as you love your setup that's all that matters man! Every has a style and look they are going for!

[@nightbreed141]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed Yeah I get it man everyone will choose whatever they want but your statement of not wasting more gas or not being a big difference is a contradiction on your part.its basic science there's plenty of data to support my claims. This is the main reason why many vehicle manufacturers go with 17 inch wheels because of those reasons that I stated. The new Ford raptor will also be coming in stock with 17 inch by 8.5 with huge tires ! Once you go bigger than 17 inch wheels then you sacrifice a lot in many aspects including performance...

[@robtennant3689]

Great informative vid!! I think you made a mistake at 1:38 though(?) where you said the stock unlifted truck could take a 265/75/17 tire equating to a 31.6x10.5. That actually would be 32.6"x10.5 if my calculations are right (and would probably need trimming). Did you mean to say 265/70/17?..... Thanks!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Not always the case depending on what you want to trim :)

[@earnesttrent3119]

I have a 19 trd off-road. I’m putting a 2.5 in OME lift. Do you think a set up like 17/7 Toyota pro rims with a 4mm offset would work with 285/70/17 Ridge Grapplers with no rubbing? The specs say that offset makes the rim stick out .9 inch away from truck.

[@chriscash4118]

You covered a lot really quick . I have a 23 Tacoma 3 inch lift front and back what is the best size tire and the best size wheel both on and off road no rubbing Thanks .

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I did cover all of that! Depends on the cutting you want to do. I had about a 4'' lift up front/3.5'' in the rear and in the end, had 34x12.5 tires with zero rubbing after cutting and new alignments. With just the lift and zero cutting, a 33x11 could fit with a wheel having a 0 offset. My first setup I believe was 32x11 with an 18x9 0 offset and I barely had rubbing and that only happened in reverse full lock. Hope that helps too.

[@87toyhighlux]

I like the look of your truck, but I like tall & skinny. My next tire will be stock wheels and 255/85/16 tires

I am not looking to do any off-roading, mainly looks. Going off your video, would this cause rubbing? I have a 2021 TRDOR tacoma.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

So my current setup is 17x9 0 offset with with the same size tire as you. I added 1.25'' wheel spacer and needed to do the CMC and some other trimming. My guess with the -12 offset would be possibly some slight trimming. Without my spacers I was fine, and you would be poking out 12 mm farther, probably no CMC, but some plastic trimming if that!

I got a 2020 Tacoma. It’s the SR model v6 with tow package. I’m looking at 18’s with a 3” front 2” rear leveling kit. I’m trying to see what options. 18x9 0 offset is what I’m really looking at but as far as that. 8-10 ply tire and wanted to know tire size. Mainly used for daily driven and maybe dirt roads/ camping but that’s not all the time.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

So my first setup was 18x9 0 offset as well and I was able to put a 33x12.5 tire on with very minimal rubbing, the tire was close to the UCA but didn't rub at all, so that was the biggest tire I could have put on with that setup. So you have room to go larger both in width and height.

Hey @BrosFOURRSpeed ! So I just purchased the American Truxx Gridlock AT1901 18x9 -12 offset wheels for my Tacoma; I also plan to install a 2.5-inch Eibach lift/leveling kit. What tire size do you think would be appropriate for these wheels without any rubbing issues? I am looking for the same look as yours; somewhat aggressive but not excessive. I also would be willing to switch the upper control arms if necessary but would love your input on that as well. Thank you!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

That's sounds like a great offset, something I would like to get for my next setup. I just added some wheels spacers to mine just for the look and what I'd like to accomplish with my next setup, but I have 285/70/17 and I had to do the CMC and push in the fender liner. My tires are almost 33x11.5, so I wouldn't go bigger than that and you should be ok. I'm debating on getting another alignment done with my SPC UCA's because they have the adjustability to help and I haven't seen any videos to explain how much better they can help with rubbing.

[@jpowell8586]

Think this the tire size I’m aiming for with same OME suspension kit. Your wheel offset this set up was 0. Do you believe a wheel measure of 17x9.5; -18mm offset would have cause for a need to trim/chop?

So my current setup is 17x9 0 offset, with a 34x12.5 tire. I also have the 1.25'' wheel spacers on and don't have any rubbing. I have the CMC which helped and also a new alignment to push the tire forward, so it can be done with minimal trimming!

What’s the biggest tire you can fit on the factory wheel on the 3rd gen Tacoma? Regardless of rubbing and what lift you should have, I just want to know the biggest size tire to fit on the factory 16in wheel...

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

If you don't want rubbing you'd need to stick to either slightly taller or slightly wider than the stock tire. You could throw on a 33x12.5 or even 35's on a 16'' wheel as long as the tire is rated for the width of the stock wheel. I believe for the Tacoma they are 16x7.5, and most larger tires I have seen require the wheel to be 8-10'' wide. So on the factory 16's you can go a little bigger if you aren't lifting the truck, but not by much unless you trim!

I’m doing a 3” level kit up front with 1” blocks in the rear. Wheel wise would be 17x9 with a negative 12mm offset. Tire size would be a 285/70/r17. I’m going back n forth between the nitto ridge grappler and the maxxis razr 810. Im waiting for the level kit to arrive. Haven’t purchased wheels or tires yet. You think there would be any rubbing issues? I was also told some of the skid plate mount would need to be trimmed as well.

Not sure why someone told you the skid plate mount would be trimmed, that's not even close! But my current setup, I'm running 285/70/19, 17x9 0 offset and they barely rub, offroad I could hear it some on sharp turns, sometimes in reverse on the pavement if it's not level, but if you don't mind slight rubbing here and there. I added 1.25' wheel spacers and had to do the CMC and push in the fenders some, I still rub though. You might just have to take a heat gun and push in the fender behind the tire like I did.

The tallest tire on stock TRD 17” wheels with no rubbing and no modification is the 255/75/17. You lose 10mm tire width but gain 0.45” to a 32.06” tire. However if you don’t mind some minor rubbing or minor trimming of your plastic fender skirts you can fit 275/70/17 gaining 10mm from stock width and height gain of 0.55” thus a 32.16” tire. Anything larger will require more trimming and eventually a cab mount chop. Good luck

I'm on my third set of the Ridge's and love them, very quiet on road tire with an aggressive look for an "all terrain" tire. But the 285's I had after that didn't rub and were great for daily driving. And I love my OME lift. I went with the stiffer route with coils for the bumpers and all, but they offer a softer suspension setup which most likely will be like stock or very similar.

[@nathanlegaspi937]

got my 2nd gen limited 3" lift 265-70-17 on it want lil bit tough looks on my rubber what size do you recomend

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

If you don't want any rubbing 285's is a good size, like the ones I have on the truck in this video. The 2nd gens might not be as tall though so you might have some trimming but it really just depends on if you want to cut or not! I'm running 34x12.5 now and did the CMC and working on another alignment to get them dialed in!

[@daniellarner5081]

I know this late but I have a question. I’m looking to put 33s on my Tacoma. What size wheel do I go with? The 17x7.5 or the 16x7? Doing my research right now and need a little help. Your video was informative and I hope you keep them up.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Really depends on your preference for a 16 or 17. I went from the stock 16's to 18's and now have 17's. Also a wider wheel car hold a wider tire, so depends on how wide the tire is. Mine are 17x9 so I can have a 33x12.5 which a 7 or 7.5'' could not do. So if you go skinny that width would work.

Hi Mike - thank you for the videos . I have a 2021 tacoma SR5 4x4 . Do you think I can get away with 275/70/17 without lifting the truck ? What offset do I need ? Thank you

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Quick google search shows that's a 32.2x11 tires. That should be very close to the stock tire size. If you stick with a positive offset like +10 you will be fine or even a "0", maybe -6. My tires now are 285/70/17 and I only really have scraping issues in reverse or offroad, not even to really tell sometimes though.

@@BrosFOURRSpeed I’m also wanting bigger tires on my truck for summer n winter use with no lift on a stock 2021 TRD sport 4x4. I have heard 265/75/17 with or so would hopefully give me no rubbing experience on the stock wheels. I’d mostly be commuting with minor off road atm. I want beefier than my stock 265/65/17 tires. I’d be going from a 30.56” tire to a 32.65” tire. It would be nice to use my nice looking stock wheels and beef up the tires,… but would I need a set of rims with a offset … I loosely read on taco works and KZbin that a -4mm will work on a 275/75/17,… which is bigger… but the 32inch size and no rubbing is my desired goal for my first foray into modding my truck with bigger tires.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

If you aren't going to lift the truck and don't want to trim or cut, stay really close to the stock specs. Depending on the Nitto's you want, they will all have a different number, but you can go up in size less than .5'' for height or width so basically the same size and be fine!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

If you stick with the stock tire specs, you will have rubbing on the cab mount possibly. That tire size looks like a 30.6'' tire from a quick search, not sure the width, but the rubbing should be minimal. I did the CMC and it allowed for so much more clearance, so you could do that and not lift the truck and fit a bigger tire on if you wanted to go that route. You're only moving the tire out 12 millimeters so it's not a crazy amount, but the tire size (width) is what would change it more.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

With the setup I'm running, the 285's, I wouldn't be able to put those on a stock truck, unless you cut and trimmed a lot. If you want to stay closer to factory specs, maybe only go up in size just a little or just a little wider to avoid any rubbing.

Romualdo G. 265/70 R17 Ridge Grapplers. Get the 4 ply (115T) as they’re only 43.65 lbs each. This is the biggest tire you can get for a non lifted/trimmed Tacoma without rubbing.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

You can certainly do that size wheel, but at -22, depending on how wide that tire is you will have rubbing behind the tire. The bumper is easy to fix. But I did the CMC to get more clearance behind the tire, so that will be something you'll have to look at. The stock Tacoma's have a pretty soft suspension and towing won't really affect that, but if you tow a lot, I would recommend getting add-a-leafs to keep the truck level and stiffer in the rear to accommodate the weight.

A positive offset creates more backspace, while a negative offset reduces the backspace. The wheels in this video are 17x9 0 offset so exactly what you are looking at.

You really can only add the stock tire specs, or stay as close as possible!

I had a 6'' at one point on my 2nd gen tacoma and it just ruined the truck, but I've heard other people have no problems, that's just my opinion and experience. With most 4'' kits, I've seen you still have to cut the front crossmember, I did a 3'' lift with a top plate spacer and got about 3.5'' up front and 3 in the rear. I'm running 33's without any issues, just have to have the right tire/wheel offset for it to work without rubbing. My current setup with wheel spacers, I had to do the CMC and push in the fender liners. With an aggressive stance, expect some trimming (you can get away with minor trimming too).
