Fitting 285 Tires on a Tacoma TRD Pro

[@smashing_data4292]

Are you going to make a speedometer calibration video since you now have bigger tires?

[@shoegum7362]

I was thinking about running a 285/75/16 (32.81") the sizes between that and a 285/70/17 (32.7") are super close, this way at least I could run the stock TRD pro rims.

I have the 285/70/R17 BFG's on the 4Runner TRD Wheels on my 3rd Gen Tacoma. I love them!!

[@Mark-me8uj]

Data point for others doing 285/70/17s. I've got an OME suspension (2.5" front, 1.5" rear lift, measured from street to wheel well center), C load KO2s: OMETAC16HKSB2. With 17x8 zero-offset rims, it's a perfect fit. No need to replace UCAs or to trim or hammer anything. I can smack it around at full steering lock without any rub. Almost all of the clearance issues I've seen on others' set-ups are from going overboard with a big negative offset. 2021 TRD OR.

[@ChloeKuo]

I've found this to be the case too-- for fitting larger tires, wheel offset matters more than people may think! The lift matters, but 0 offset helps quite a bit. Thanks for sharing your setup!

[@waynemorris1999]

I’m about to swap rims on my 08’ to 17”. Tire options for 16” leave you with an E range tire. 0 offset seems like the way to go but what about backspacing. Looks like 4.5 or 4.75 but I’m having difficulty finding that answer

[@EricAdler01]

Thanks for the great video Chloe! What’s the MPG by chance?

[@D_Cali_Life]

Chloe you are a rising star 🌟 In the Toyota Community 👋

[@ceeIoc]

So I won’t rub with a trd 2 inch lift with the same wheel/tire specs?

[@DavidRamirez-fe5dd]

The zero offset wheel is 100% key to not rubbing, and spc upper control arms help

[@ceeIoc]

I think with zero it won’t touch the stock uca.

[@tjthrelkeld8531]

So the westcott collar is adding 1.5" to a suspension that was lifted 1" from the factory, does that mean a TRD Off Road would need ~2.5"+ to have the same tire and wheel set up? Assuming same castor, but I am planning on SPC UCAs.

[@Boobtube.]

Thanks Chloe, you did our homework for us. That tire/wheel combo look great. You made excellent choice. It just gives the truck enough of a lift to give it that look we all want without going crazy causing other issues.

[@is300online]

Thanks for putting this video together, and taking all the work out of getting the right mods. I love everything about this lift, and its functionality. I have the same year and color trd pro, and I have to say those rims and tires are perfect!! Thanks again!

[@K1ngDre-DMZ]

Exactly what I have with king suspension. Zero rubbing and I get 15-19 mpg

[@joeolivieri7620]

I am running BFG M/T KM3 285/75/16's on my '21 Tacoma Pro 6MT with the Factory 16" wheels with Zero rubbing anywhere on the Pro Fox Suspension. No BMC, No UCAs...completely stock!

[@thegaribaldiguy5217]

Hey great video ...but isn't the tire diameter for your stock tires actually 30.6 not 29.6??? I am trying to work out the diameter difference moving to 285's and I think it is only 2 inches not 3 that you said in your video?

I’ve got a ‘19 off road like you and was wondering your thoughts on purchasing the TRD Pro front suspension and the lift kit you mentioned to swap out the stock suspension. I really like the setup on your Pro model but I’m not sure how well the components would swap between trim levels. Awesome video and keep them coming!!

[@ChloeKuo]

Between models, there shouldn’t be a difference. You can also look at the TRD lift kit that Toyota sells-I don’t have personal experience with it but from what I heard, it’s not a bad option!

[@TroyFujimoto808]

How off is your speedometer and odometer with the larger diameter wheels? When I increased the wheel and tire size on my old Nissan truck, the actual speed became off and required recalibration to maintain proper speed and mileage indications. Is this recalibration something you can do with an OBD-II tool or does it need to be sent out to a company?

[@henrythefifth9993]

Don't drive hard. Current toyota engine and transmission quality are not good.

I confirm you they still sell it. Choose « suspension » in the main menu, then: Fox TRD PRO Lift Kit - Tacoma, 4Runner & Tundra. It is prety far down the options. Once you choose it, you will see that this kit is suitable for 2017 to 2019 Fox Tacoma Trd pro suspension 🙌

If you have a TRD PRO 19 you can already fit these tires if you stick with the stock trd pro rims with a bit of molding of the plastic with a heat gun.

[@Jerlemi2]

Your content is very good but you are absolutely wrong about the gearing. If you upgrade to 285 tires and don’t regear to a 4.88 system your mpg will get crucified on the highway. The tacoma will never see overdrive with those size tires. The factory gearing is just barely adequate for the stock 265 tires if you drive an automatic.

[@mattinthehat22]

1st: disregard my question from the later video which I watched first. 2nd: Did you get an alignment after putting the 285's on? Also, I had my heart set on American Racing 17x8's with zero offset for my '19 TRD O/R knowing I would need new shocks, but I'm guessing those 'Pro' Fox shocks (with the preload collar) will swap in easily... I hope. Not needing UCA's will help with my budget - same reason I won't get those Methods. Great video, as usual!!

[@slocavky]

I am very interested in how you dont rub the mud flap.. I have a 2020 trd sport and I run a 265-70-17s with stock suspension. And when the suspension is compressed and turning left I rub.. Very annoying...

[@gabrielpalhano8968]

What’s the weight on stock pro wheel and tire? That has to be a 25lb+ increase in each corner. Regardless of gas mileage that has to feel sluggish

[@Jerlemi2]

It does feel sluggish. I have a 2019 with 285s. The factory gearing of 3.91 just can’t handle those tires. It can barely handle the stock 265s. Toyota really dropped the ball on this part of the third gen Tacomas.

So have you had any problems on the outer wall of the tire ? I have some toyo open country AT3. 265/70/17 on the trd pro wheels after about 6 months I took the spare down to clean it. And had some major rubbing on the outside wall of the tire from the top of the undercarriage compartment. It was so bad I had to get a new spare. Any recommendations to solve that problem? I’ve tried tighten the spare down as tight as I could but that didn’t seem to do the trick.

[@bradgt5130]

This seems Alittle caping. I have a 18 with, 285 and before my regear or tune it drove like shit. Those tires alone worked the 6 speed like crazy and this was living in Louisiana before my move to Georgia so I was on flat ground. Never would see 6th at all on the interstate while it took my MPG average down to 13, and I set my cruise on 68. After my 5.29 regear and custom tune it brought it back to the 16mpg range on the interstate. In my city I’ll never see above 13-14 and I’m very conservative when it comes to driving my truck. Not to mention rubbing for the guys running no seats, I did a CMC before I did the tires. Bumps rubs the front bumper and I’m just a cunt hair away from my pinch weld. Which I’m about to hammer it down soon because I’m doing a fender trim, but just a warning to all. 265/75which I had before are great nothing required no mod, just be prepared that 285 or 305 you are doing some work, then comes time for your spare. Unless you are running a carrier you have to go under your truck and move your tire winch back a bit to fit a 285 in the spare.

There's a give and take with BIGGER tires, Things to think about are, taking off from a start is a smidge slower--fuel consumption is a bit more-- and speedometer adjustment needed for correct MPH, BIGGER tires have a cool factor with your higher clearance and is needed for off roading, depends on how you play
