TRD Caps for Method NV Wheels:
In this video, we show what's the biggest size tire that will fit on a stock 3rd gen Tacoma with very minor modification. With the suspension completely stock, the biggest tire size that will fit is a 33" tire or 285/70/17 equivalent. This can be done with very minor trimming of the front fender liner and rear fender flare.
If you do NOT want to do any trimming at all, then you can go with a 32" tire or 275/70/17 equivalent. The wheels we used are Method NVs in a 17" size with an offset of 0. The tires used are a BFG KO2 in a size 285/75/17.

For those who want to keep the stock wheels: I have a 2018 Offroad at stock height and literally just installed 265/75/16 tires which equates to a 31.7" wheel; no shaving required and no rubbing at all at full turn. Like TT mentioned, I believe you could get away with 32"s at stock height with zero shaving/rubbing, but I haven't seen any tire spec combo that gets you to exactly 32" at R16.
265/17R 16 is all you want any bigger you need a lift and gear ratio change. Congrats!
noice i might try that
Yup I put 265/75/16's on my 2020 & no issues. Then I got stupid & put a 2/1 lift. Spacer/Block. Every 6 months I had to get alignment & it had a wobble in rear. Live & Learn. I got 2023 trdSport recently & I may leave it stock & just go tad bigger tire.... Or I may go Bilsteins 5100 adjustable shock/strut set at 1 on front & Bilsteins on bacK. No block. So it will be leveled & not much different geometry then factory. Then I may go 275/70/17 on stock wheels. Shouldn't have any rub or cutting..... Lifted Tacoma's look sweet BUT it comes with a pricetag. Even if you do the best of the best be ready for issues. It's almost a guarantee.....2/1 lift did very little to MPG. Bigger tires WILL reduce MPG by 2/3+ MPG
Umm, thats the standard factory size on the Tacoma Trd Offroad. My 2022 came with those. Maybe you meant 285 instead of 265, since 265 is normal/stock size.
@@Eastsidegeorgiaboy True, stock width is 265, but my point was about the series, 70 vs 75. 285/70/R16 is basically 32's, but depending on the offset most people seem to rub going that route without a lift and cutting. At the time, I wanted to put the highest series on stock tires and stock height without rubbing or cutting. Now I have 265/70/R17, no rub
not sure why so many haters. sure it will rub going over a speedbump let alone off-road. but this is an excellent video that could provide someone new to tacos with an indication roughly how big of a tire it will take. after watching this a newbie will see that a 2.5' lift will most likely be sufficient to fit a 33" tire so this is extremely helpful
People would rather bash than provide valid info
@@JPRATT537 Valid info.... showing someone new to tacos about what tires they can shove in the wells and not explain how driving over anything will cause massive rubbing or putting the spare 1 inch away from the exhaust is a good idea? I like big tires as much as the next guy but you gotta admit this is a bad idea to keep these tires on stock suspension.
The way he cut that liner gave me anxiety
seems like the open hole is a good candidate for water/rust?
"Now what you're going to do here is pull this utility knife as hard as you can toward your face."
The rim/tire combination gave me more anxiety…..the whole thing looks like a disaster waiting to happen!
Interesting take on an upgrade with minimal modification. Had me sketched out with that box cutter though 😳 eesh
So if you drive straight on a perfectly flat road, you won’t rub.
LOL. Talk about chopping your shit up because you don't want to accept you need a lift and bigger arms if you want bigger wheels.
Any flex at all And this dude is having a bad day
Great looking truck.your wheels nice am contemplating lift etc . Gd info
PatTheRiot i would consider the biggest tire size without a lift without any body chopping or anything else. At that point just lift it. Now if you lift it and you want bigger tires, that’s when you can do mods to the body or get an off-road bumper but do the damn lift first lol
As soon as he’s driving on any road, smooth or not, shits going south on the first turn
Great math. Tire is 2.5" bigger than stock, so that gives you 2.5" extra ground clearance. I'll give you a hint, circles don't work like that.
Something to do with pie, idk what kind apple pumpkin pecan it don’t matter 🤣
Too funny but on point.
Yep, also, there is no load. As soon as that tire starts to stuff he’s going to rip that well plastic up.
Wait until you have some suspension compression while turning and see if that little notch helps keep it from rubbing.
you all probably dont care at all but does anybody know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot my password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.
@Keegan Moshe it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my account !
@Lian Zayne No problem =)
With that tight clearance, it’ll still rub. Specially when going in reverse. There will be a slight compression in the spring and hence will rub. Ideally a cheap top hat spacer is needed for 285s.
I have 285/70/17 with a 1n3 level spacers on a 2017 off road. It rubs on the frame any sharp turn, into and out of any parking space and all angles in reverse.
Without a lift, any 285 tire will rub, especially in reverse, if you dont trim, and or do a Cab mount chop, been this way forever. Check any Tacoma forum, its the number one asked question, "How big of a tire will fit".
I was thinking the same thing, that’s going to more than rub when the suspension is compressed even a little.
@donnieraines2066 mine have never rubbed in reverse on my 3rd gen pro. They only rub a little when turning travelling forward and hitting a bump. Not major enough to rip anything off because my truck is totally fine after some harsh snowy backroads and they've been on there 2 years with no modifications. 285/75R16.
@@donnieraines2066i thought the consensus was that 285s will fit with no rub on trd pro models, and models with factory lift. My understanding is that the wheels need to be zero offset.
I just got my bfg ko2 285/75/16 no lift needed no rub this morning thanks to your video. Trd pro oem height didnt need any trimming. Mounted & balanced so quiet thus far.great vid guys . Helpful info helped make my decision.
Hey like your comment. I also have Trd Pro and was wondering install bfg Ko2 285/75/16 on it and would that rub anything on turns I just don’t want to lift it. Did you have to do any trimming. I’m using stocks wheels.
@@rxsonny no trimming at all. Stock wheels are +13mm offset which is why i cleared. I thought i might ruin on articulation but i take it slow down hill descents. Heard a couple of tiny ribs on passenger side only when RF was compressed but uphill zero issues. Im considering leveling kit.i dint wasn't to lose my fox's . I go offroad a lot.
Just wondering if you still are happy with the K02s in the larger size and still no rubbing? Have a 2019 Pro and want to do the same thing. Thanks
@@jod1113 i had to take mud guards off. The oem glaps would rub under articulation. But light rub. Not crazy
I have bilstein 5100’s on my front. Just wondering if it’s really worth it to go to 275 from 265? Are you gaining that much for the loss?
That tire is gonna touch the body 💯
@Jack Carlos if youre having to hack your girlfriends instagram page then you probably shouldn't be with her. Some of us here actually care about the topic at hand. Tire size fitment for Tacomas.
If you just put studded 33's on it, the studs will trim any plastic for you over about 3000 miles 🙃
I have these same wheels paired with Falken Wildpeak 275/70-17, stock suspension. They indeed do rub with the wheel at a slight angle
0 offset and stock suspension?
You think 265 70 17 will rub?
@@gabrielguardado1009 doubtful those are even skinnier
@@gabrielguardado1009 I run 265/70/17 on my 2018 SR5 with stock suspension and have no rubbing at all
@@Mrblitz1819 is that with stock wheels or aftermarket with a 0 offset?
2” bigger tire is only 1” worth of lift. Tires are round.
But doesn’t it still look two inches taller when you see the entire tire? It’s what the eye sees.
@@boblafountaine9560 no, it’s only one inch tire like the nice man said. It’s 1” taller on either side of the wheel’s centerline. If the hub mounted to the tread then it would be 2”, but it mounts to the center so it’s only half.
One thing he neglected to mention was changing the size from a 16-in to a 17-in wheel as well as the increase of tire.
@@noisysounds4420 doesn't make ay difference. outer diameter is the same. math is hard...
@@mattgill69 it's not hard just involves a lot of variables that affect the look and ride. 🤷
i just put 285/70/17 k02 on my trd sport and it rubbed A LOT even with a 2” lift. we had to trim a lot of the wheel well plus do a cab mount chop. there’s no way this won’t rub without any lift especially when the shocks compress off-roading
It was probably your offset. With my 285s my tacoma didnt rub at cleghorn, or at sandstone canyon. No cab mount chop nor plastic cutting. I did have the alignment shop adjust the caster though. This was at 0 off set.
Once i changed rims though the offset was -25 and that made my tires rub on everything even with the alignment, thats when i needed the cab mount chop and very little molding with a heat gun for the plastic.
Its all on the offset with 285's 👍🏼
You think 275s would rub?
Your offset and and wheels (how wide are they) are a huge part of it. Offset changes how tires fit in the truck and how wide you go on your wheels will change how the tires fit on them, so it will also affect how flat or round they become at certain pressures as well as how much bulge you get on your sidewalls, which translates on the rub you can expect between the tire and the suspension components too.
Always remember that the way your tires fit only apply to your exact setup (mods, wheels, offset, suspension components, suspension wear, specific tires, etc)
I was gonna comment my 2 cents on the clearance too, but everyone is already jumping on them...lol...
Function over fashion!
Im starting to think asians love their shit to rub on the tarmac, when the truck can't rub, maaaaan let's make them rubbers rub lol
PatTheRiot has nothing to do with being Asian, this guy is really cool and is always helpful.
285s on stock suspension lmao good luck. The biggest tires you can fit on stock suspension with no trimming and no rub is 265/75r16 or 265/70r17. And 275s will fit with minimal trimming
Always put the spare tire wth the air valve facing down, when it loses air it will be easy to fill, otherwise you will have to remove again, and your tpms light wont be on forever.
You can't put it up with the valve stem facing down, plus that means the face of the wheel would be exposed to debris.
Also, the spare tire does not have TPMS.
The reason the tire is mounted with the valve stem facing up so if water or moisture gets inside of tire it will not rust the valve core. To solve that problem buy a 12" flexible valve stem and pass it thru 1 of the wheel openings put tire the way it should be mounted facing UP
@@Aroceen Not true
I like your channel and enjoy your videos. Don't want to see ya'll put out incorrect info. Tire size above the axle does not increase clearance. Your increase in clearance is 1.05". 32.7" - 30.6" = 2.1". 2.1" X 0.5 = 1.05". They are nice looking tires.
Amritt Villa wrong.
@@BlackGT1999 Oh you don't like the way the tires look. Is alright... That would be a subjective kinda thing.
@@BlackGT1999 How is @Amritt Villa wrong. you're effectively lifting your truck 1.05 inches with 33s.
Do u think I can run 305/65or70R16 on my stock 2007 taco with the stock trd rims?Serious question!!!Thank You in advance
@@BlackGT1999
My brain has cramps after all those numbers 🤪
Since it barely clears now, any off road driving when the tire goes up over bumps when turning it'll rub so much it'll probably rub the fender flare attached to the fender causing damage to the fender.
Lol. Flat roads only.
The 285s won’t hit the wheel when the suspension compresses ? I don’t believe it. 265 75 16 is the largest tire you can put on Tacoma stock with out the possibility of hitting the well
Theodorski newkcomerski it will rub when off road. You're right on the 265/75/16, also 275/70/17 would work if you still want to be able to off road with them. Most people who are asking for this video do only daily driving
@@Runnin4Tacos well that's just lame making a video for mall crawlers
Good Video, mall crawler or not. If you are going to hate, hate on the owners of the truck.
Theodorski newkcomerski false
ran 255/85/16. never had any issues and i flexed out multiple times lol. The best and proper way to fit bigger tires to actually FUNCTION offroad is to infact trim and cut as needed rather than lift to think you need to fit the tire.
Hello, my take away from this is from the spare tire placement. I would recommend that if you don't cut the exhaust pipes and perhaps use some sort of heat shield wrap, that may work too. Just my 2 cents. Thanks again guys for the content.
I suggest cutting a flat spot in the tire. 🤔🤔
@@jasonpatrick5725 BIG BRAIN
Exactly. Fiberglass insulation as an example. Wrapped. Don’t cut off the exhaust pipe. The exhaust should vent away from the vehicle not underneath it. Carbon monoxide hazard.
I think that if the tire is 2.5 inches larger you only gain half that in added ground clearance (1:20).
The 32 inch tires is all you need
I run the Wild Peak 275/70R17 and they barely rub on the after market mud flaps that Toyota makes. No body rub on 2016 Gen 3. Love these tires.
Would have liked to have seen a before and after wide shot of the truck. side view maybe?
Just so everyone knows a 255/85/16 (33.2x10) fits under any articulated+turned situation without any trimming.
Mine rubs a little under turn +flex. 2018 OR 255/86r16 ST/Maxx. I would still suggest them though. 285s will rub a lot as you obviously know.
How about 17 inch rim
I have a 3' lift and can still get 255/85s to rub under certain situations...
I have the BFG AT KO2s and they don't rub at 265/70R17 on TRD rims. They look great and more importantly the 265/70R17 is a common size so you don't pay a fortune for the tires. I was just over $800 for the set on sale at my local warehouse club.

This video should be titled What not to do with your Tacoma.
Why? I’m just asking because I just got my Tacoma and wanted some beefier tires. Was assuming this size would work
I want to know too
Tires are too big. It will rip out your fenders once you hit a bump at speed
@Jamie It also depends on what width the tire is, what width the rim is, and what the rim backspacing/offset is.
Just admit you hate because you don't have a tacoma. You can't give a explanation to ur stupid comment
Fail. Summary: Your new tire doesn’t fit stock and no lift setup.
K
@Jacques do you even know how to do any of this..? I doubt it so don't act like you know what your talking about. Or how to be a decent human being for that matter.
@@tiffanylarcade9275 he's right, guy. tire doesn't fit. any degree of variation would cause contact doesn't even have to be off roading. could be going in and out of a driveway or over a pothole. there is not enough clearance.
You need to match the lug nut SEAT to the wheel. "Acorn" does not tell you the seat type. I won't poke at you for your tool or style selections, but it's technically important to match the seat type - conical/taper, spherical/ball/round and old school flat.
Yah if ur gonna tell people this, id recommend doing more than just showing a stand still video. Telling people that they can fit this stock without showing more involved like flexing, driving, bumps etc etc. This is practically useless. Considering i fit 255/85/16 toyo mt stock with stock wheels and never had to worry about a thing. It varies through out but thats why you trim and cut where needed.
Are those 32's? Not a conversion expert
@@jtec99 33s my friend!
@@CanadianOffroad4x4 nice, got a 2" spacer lift and 2" block in rear. That get me anymore flex clearance?
@@jtec99 technically not with a spacer. Your suspension is limited to by what you're running. It will flex as much as it can. You won't have issues
@@CanadianOffroad4x4 thank you buddy, and the 255s will fit on stock Toyota rims in assuming? Have the trd off road year 2020.
The center cap from method is made to look like a race style hub that you would find on vehicles such as prerunners and trophy trucks.
Exactly
Yup and method is a big part of that scene..
I thought the caption says “will fit with no cutting and rubbing” 😂😂😂juskolord
Theres no way this wont rub. You arent getting 33's on a tacoma with no lift with out them rubbing. Even though he shaved the liner a bit, its still going to rub like crazy. Just wait until he starts making turns on roads that arent level. 33's are dope on a tacoma, but you have to put in the work to get them to fit with out rubbing.
That's great if all you do is drive straight down a flat road at 25 miles per hour in a straight line. :P
285's are just to big for a stock tacoma or even with a 2" lift. You can fit 265 70 17 or 265 75 16's. There almost 32's or go with some pizza cutters. 255 85 16's. I don't know why everyone works so hard to fit tires that definitely don't fit. They're heavy, they throw your speedo off, they're likely to ware parts prematurely and they rub. So just don't do it. Not worth it. You can off road with 265's. Your talking an inch difference.
An inch matters ask my wife 😢
I love the tight turn radius on my Taco. I'd say it turns just as tight as my Camry; seriously, if there is a difference, it is undetectable by me.
Ran into the same problem with my 2023 trd off road putting on 285 70 17 i did the same thing and works like a charm
Thanks for showing this. Although I was tempted to go bigger on my 2021 Tacoma TRD Sport, I decided to go with the Wildpeak At3W in 265/70/17 on Black Rhino's Sierra wheels. It actually feels great and I think I could have gone up one size. Anyhow, thanks guys for all the awesome vids. 💯🤙
Hi brother you think you could have gone up one size ? What you mean by that sorry I’m trying to upgrade my wheels also not sure which to go for . I wanted ko2 285/70/17 but I’m sure they will rub
Gabriel Guardado Actually, the 265/70/17 (31 inch tire) just fits without a lift. If I were to go larger, it would be better to get a lift. Yep, the 285's will definitely rub. The KO2's are dope.
I’m thinking of getting the KO2 275/70/17…. You think that will fit? I have a stock 19 trd sport. It does look like it has a slight lift 🤷🏻♂️ maybe an inch lol
what rims did you go with ?
how have your tires held up? I'm interested in going up to a 265/70/17 on my stock '23 Tacoma. Any problems with rubbing at all?
285/75/R16 slight bit of rubbing only when I turn steering wheel all the way to the left or right going over a bump
“Fit” is a relative term.
Hahaha true
I always thought Taco's had bigger wheel wells than Hilux's, but this is almost exactly the same amount of clearance work I had to do to fit 33's on my Lux with 0 offset wheels. Only difference is, mine isn't a mall crawler, so I did my turn test with the suspension compressed.
A tacoma is a hilux. Its just gas not diesel
@@zebrastripes875 Hilux comes with a gas engine too, they're not the same chassis, Taco is C section, Hilux is full box, and the Taco comes with a longer wheelbase. Hardly any of the front suspension parts carry over (there's better stuff available for Tacoma, so a lot of Hilux owners have looked into what parts can be used on both)
🔥👍
I wish those bolts on the "bead lock" were chrome or aluminum and not a gold tint.
RC 3.5" lift with new UCA's, new shocks, and rear lift blocks will fit 285's with a zero offset rim with no trimming or rubbing.
On my 23 TRD OR, on the TRD alloy wheels I got 265/75R16 and I have no issues. I have not fully flexed the truck but I doubt I will have issues rubbing. For summer time, I run my steel wheels with 245/76R16 tires and I’m happy with that. If I ever decide to lift, I would only go with the TRD q inch lift, personally.
ive got a 2 inch level on mine and currently have 265/75r16. Im definitely upgrading to 285's here soon!
Ain’t no way in hell I’d be trimming my Tacoma just to fit some tires 🤣 them tires would be goin back.
That tire noise killed me
You can fit 32.5 with rub on Tacoma but you need to cut inside the finders not outside you’ll be fine. I have both Tacoma and 4Runner,on 4Runner you can fit a 33 you’ll rub slightly but take off the mud flaps and that should clear it just fine
265/70/17 end of discussion
Agree. Function over looks.
That’s on the stock rim ?
@Sucki Tumi
Did anyone respond? I did see a guy I think he said 275/70R /16
He said gave him one inch tall and he put a 2/2 lift for his trailer
2020 OR extended. 285/70/17 with TRD Matte Rims :) Did the same thing with my trim. Took it on some gnarly hills. No rub so far on my first test today with compression
What about now
@@chrissimeus3843 Little rub depending on the Angles sometimes. Very minor. Pulled out front mud flaps. Cut off like a 2inch piece. 35k miles on my K02s
i’d rather off road efficiently than look cool at the mall tho
Don't forget the rubbing when leaving the mall bump LOL
I would rather build a mall crawler that can wheel but dont wheel. And. Only lightly wheel it on dirt roads. And then buy a quad a dirt bike and a side by side and wheel the shit out of them like i did. These trucks are way to expensive to buy a 2020 trd off road then buy new tires and rims and shocks and re gear it and get a 6 inch lift and a super charger. These are all things you must do to propey wheel it and do the kind of wheeling i do. If you dont then all you are doing is ridding through puddles calling it mudding riding on dirt roads calling it hitting the dunes and driving 100 yards down a groomed trail illegally or at a track and saying u are trail riding. Yall pussy cant off road as good as i can.
Gsfbffx Pdhhdf yeah I mean I off road in my truck but shit all that gear you said is mad expensive to go off roading with the right mods to not fuck your truck up and it still might happen. But like you said suspension sliders and other armour lifts tires wheels are all so expensive. That’s not even including recovery gear and bumpers and lights if you choose to do so. I have a sr5 4runner with just the trd skid plate on it and bigger tires. Can’t afford an off road suspension or sliders or anything else right now.
@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043 sometimes u need to to take your truck to a off road location . Your trucks carry all your supplies so u can go in deep in the trenches. That way u willnhv two vehicle for off road insted of one. More is better right?
@@andyham6094 when u say off road suspension , what are u refering to. Because all lift kits are off road suspsension, just some are better but u can get some cheaper ones and it does the job just fine.
geometric point of clarification... the difference in clearance (axle lift) between a 33" tire and a 31" tire is 1", not 2". Half of that diameter increase is above the hub.
Loved the vid and the effort. The morale of this story is...ahhh...don't ever do this at home. Lift it first.
You can fill the trim holes with black Shoo Goo. Do it in layers. That being said., this kind of corner cutting is what gets those trying to relax forced into recovery mode on the trail.
true. What I don't understand is people are obsessed over 33s for looks. 32s and 33s, don't look that different in my eyes.
DP 77 yep. I’m going with 32’s and I’m just fine with that
I have a hard time believing you have no rubbing with the 285/70. I have a 17 Trd Off-road with 2” lift and my 275/70/17 rub in reverse with steering wheel turned 3/4 lock. Rubbing occurs on the cab mount. Cab mount chop is required.
With what size wheels? What was the backspacing? And the offset of the wheels?
JPRATT537
17X8.5
backspace 4.3”
offset -10
@@craiglange3039 that offset and backspacing is the reason you're getting rubbing with the 27570. That size is usually one of the sizes that doesn't need much modification to fit. At least on the 4runner
@@craiglange3039 also those things combined with the size of the wheel.
@@craiglange3039 That is exactly why you are rubbing. Its because of the negative 10 wheel off set you have.
I have the methods NV 305s 0 offset. I had an alignment done to my 28575R16s a bit bigger than the 28570R17 with KO2s and i did not rub at all. Even when i went offroading in cleghorn, azusa. I had no rub at all. I do have a 2.5 inch lift tho. Adjusting the caster forward helped remove the rubbing completely tho 👍
The turn test is without the suspension compressed as it would begin an off-road situation.
rob the elder exactly, most people who are asking us for the biggest size are also saying they are only driving on road. But definitely would rub when off road
Taco Twonz how about when just turning normal into a drive way will the rub ?
@@tokitone Guarantee it will rub with any articulation. You could get a little more aggressive on that trimming to reduce that rubbing though.
I'm running 275/70/17 on a stock DCLB OR and it rubs on full crank in reverse gear and turning into driveways. Aggressive trimming trimming of my fenders too. Thumbs down for this video.
Pete Fairhurst Yupp ended up cranking the fox up one more inch I’m in the clear now
And that's how you rice up a truck. No clearance whatsover when leaving a parking lot. LOL
Looks like someone “rice” up your mom. Pat the prick.
Congratulations, out of several hundred videos I've watched, I have never hit thumbs down until now. I think Helen Keller could have explained it better
I own 5 Tacomas. You CAN NOT put 33 inch tires on a stock Tacoma!!! ha It's going to rub like Hell!!! If you want 33 inch tires then go get A LIFT!!!!
Not all 33" tires are true, depends on brand. 255/80/17 Cooper under 33" and 285/70/17 Goodyear actual 33". As for rubbing depends on rim offset. Even 31" with huge negative offset will rub. 285/75/17 is over 33''!
tom thorn how about 275-70-17 on stock ?
I currently have 33" tires on my 2019 tacoma with stock height with minor trimming, no body mount chop and it doesn't rub while off-roading... and they have 1-1/4" wheel spacers on my truck too... they fit, as long as your okay with trimming fender liner
What size life do you recommend? I have an 07 Tacoma and want 285 70 17 tires 😁
2ZZGE5.56 I would go with a 3” if you want to comfortably fit, but your going to need a cab mount chop reguardless, I’m at stock ride height on those same size tires with a cab mount chop and I have no rubbing issues even at full flex
255/85R16s fit with no lift/rub. My neighbor has 285/75R16s on his TRD Pro. No lift. Regular driving, no issues. Slight articulate is a different story... I have a 1.5in leveling kit on my TRD Off-road, with 285/70R17 (factory wheels) and they fit perfect. No trimming. No rubs.
Still got the temporary tags on it and already cutting pieces off. Noice!!! Does no one worry about the speedometer and odometer being wrong? My OCD tendencies couldn’t take it lol
Ric Flair and gears too
I'm very very worried about all these things too. I'm not a gear head what can you do? Or nothing you just have to bite the bullet?
GoproZack on older stuff there was a small gear u switched on a cable from odometer to the transmission. I don’t know what u do on digital stuff. Maybe flash it with an aftermarket code or something? I don’t know 🤔
You cut the fender plastic for the sake of bigger tires on 40k truck....obviously tires to big just parked there turning the wheels side to side. It's not going to work. You'll need to raise it.. which exposes the cut fender plastic more..should think this through. Thanks for the video.
It is actually only a small piece of plastic that does not affect the functionality of the truck whatsoever. You only have to trim about an inch off of it and nothing is exposed behind that tiny piece of plastic. And we test-drove it to make sure everything clears.
I like the method cap. :)
Just to confirm. These tires don't actually fit. I don't cut my wheel liners or front lower fascia of my new Taco !!! Most people are not going to do that. Go to a 16" wheel and keep the KO's and that should fit !! And no damage to the vehicle. Still like the channel !! :)
Idk about this. A turn test in your garage is one thing, but actually driving normally on the road with this setup is another thing entirely, let alone trying to go offroad, Personally, I wouldn't run this big of a tire, in any case, because I don't want to cut on my truck and 35s look ridiculous, in my opinion. I think 32s are plenty big enough for this truck and they don't look silly.
Great video! I'm running 305-70-16's on my lifted Tacoma, except for some tire noise, no problems.
I’m wondering if on my stock 2007 taco if I could run 305/65or70r16 would u know if it’s possible?Thank You in advance
I just installed 285 75 16 Toyo at3's on my factory tacoma trd pro 2020. I have removed my mud flaps because it looks better and would just barely touch when turning. I seem to have lots of room. No rubbing, no lift. I also lost 2mpg. But looks like it should have come from the factory
Hi I have a 2020 Tacoma TRD off rd 4x4 do you have a pic would like to see it. I want to keep my stock rims for now and get the tires but not sure it work Peter.bears@yahoo.com could you send a pic?
@@papabear007 I will work on pictures, If I cross a high curb will get a small rub. 88 rotors say with a 1.5 add aa leaf and a 1" spacer it won't rub at all. But I want the softer ride and no higher. Works for me
@@philipsoucie3015
Thank you ! I was thinking about 2inch leavening kit if that would help hmm
watching this and i dont even have a tacoma LOL
Awesome video, great explanation and easy to apply... you da man! Thx
On top of that its good video to help the average guy!!
Yea help the average guy cut up his truck until you get it to fit. I guess just keep cutting until it fits right.
I have 255/80r17 wildpeak at3w tires on 17" TRD 4runner wheels. They work well for me. I havent had to trim anything. I have a small 5100 lift in the front.
Definitely DO NOT recommend tightening spline lug nuts with an impact. Hand tighten and torque only! But other then that nice video.
you should invest in a flash light. You cant see well in the dark areas.
That shit gonna be rubbing hard when actually offroading Imogene pass or similiar roads.
when he drives into a freaking parking lot that is going to rub like hell, or down a slightly uneven gravel driveway.
Finally!! A website for me!!
Can you guys post a video with a camera showing the front tires during a drive test? Full lock, going up a drive way, speed bumps... nothing off-road. I think it would answer a ton of the same questions. Plus, I think it'd be pretty cool to watch.
Just leave the 285 in the bed of the truck. Very cool video thank you...
If yoy have an off-road truck, it makes no sense to use a bigger rim and lose 1" of tire. I guess this was done for show and not go.
Thanks for your video dude, this clarified alot
Of course! Glad the video helped!
Makes me want to grab a 285 now 👍
Do yourself a favor, and don't. Unless you want to hack your truck to shreds, lift that sumbitch.
F the haters. Great vid. Very minor cutting which would still be needed even with a lift. Obvious off-road limitations but you got it done. I'm sure the owner is very pleased with the way it looks. Can always decide to put lift later, meanwhile looking good this whole time!
I am not going to lift my 2019 TRD Off Road (Yet) but am going to put 265 75 16 BFG KO2's on it this weekend. When I eventually do lift I may just go with a 2in Front 1in Rear lift. I only Off Road a handful of times a year and the trails/roads I do travel are pretty mild. My old 2013 Taco with 285 70 17's with 3inch F 2inch R lift seemed to be a bit Overkill for what I normally do.
I have a 2021 TRD off-road and I’m doing the OME 2”, with some 32” tires, perfect for camping and mild off-roading, I don’t see the point of pounding a brand new truck on heavy off-road and rocks, that’s what my 1987 Toyota pickup is for lol
If u dont want it to rubb just installed a 2 inch spacer on front and it will be just find. Suspension feels the same wont be hard. And just wrapped some heat tape around exhaust pipe to protect tire.. 👍.. about to buy those tires..
For every extra inch that you are increasing on tire size you are getting only half on ground clearance, if you are upgrading from 30's to 33's you are getting only 1.5 inches of extra height. Difference in between diameter and radius
It's actually little more than 1 inch if you calculate going from 30.6 to 32.7
Nice to see the owner bought a matching spare
😂it’s nice looking... but you’ll rub like hell when you off-road in a intermediate level offroad .
At least a cab mount chop with that tire size lol
255/85r16s on stock wheels with no rub and no trimming. Just removed the front mudflaps.
May i know where did you bought the trd center cap that you replaced it into the method center cap,pls thanks
I think he said meso customs
A level will allow the tires to fit perfectly with no rub plus you don’t have to tear up the truck👍
Can someone confirm this
Your math is faulty my friend....
Assuming a 31 inch tire to start with and a 33 inch tire replacing it, you get a one inch lift. Ya know.. cause half of that tire height is on top?!
I don’t know about you, but I’m not gonna spend that kinda money, do the trimming, worry about rubbing under off-road conditions just for one inch. ( that’s what she said)
Tom A exactly why I haven’t gone bigger.
Should be running a 16" wheel for better off-road performance. Rule of thumb: wheel should be have the tire. 17" X 2 = 34"
16" X 2 = 32" perfect for your 32.7" tire 👍
Thanks Twanz. Got my 2” Toytec lift done and was wondering what I should do for tire sizes.
35s!
Michael Williams A 2” Toytec lift?!was this expensive?was it hard to install?I have a stock 2007 taco trd 2 whl drv And I want to do a slight lift is why I ask,Thanks in advance
Gotta do ALOT to fit 285s with no rubbing, especially if you drive your truck lol. 275s, only problems I've seen on stock suspension are rubbing on the front mud flaps or upper control arms.
Dude, you should have centered the TRD center cap logo with the Method logos on the wheel....
I have a 2009 trd and I have 265 75r 16 bfg ko2 tires maybe an inch over stock, great tires and no rubs or mods needed. Maybe not as “manly “ or macho as all this hassle but way cheaper and functional.
I guess it’s fri here too , not only on TW
texasmetal83 lol
Add a Raptor cut to the front and a cab mount chop behind and no worries of rubbing under load.
ok, so, i dont get it. they make a video where they say it's stock, no rubbing with small trimming.
but everyone else is having issues ? i guess Taco Twonz will do a second video review after driving few miles ? i wanted to upgrade my tires with these video, i was so happy since i didnt want to lift .. but i am now hesitating...
i have TRD Sport 2020, i live in FL and i dont do offroad... but i want the truck to not look like skip leg day...
any suggestions on what tires would fit using the original rims. (i like them tho.) anyone knows those original rims are 0 offset ?
265/70/17 that is the biggest you can go with stock
Love the wheels/tires.
Actually it’s a 1.05 inch lift, because you know, the tire is round.
Thank god someone else caught this lol... Understanding the diameter of a round object apparently slipped his education or it’s a magical tire that keeps all 2 inches between the wheel and ground at all times while spinning 😂😂.
Changing tire size from 31 to 33 inches will raise the ground clearance by 2 inches.
Steve Cabacungan ...... the diameter increasing by 2 inches does not add 2 more inches of clearance, the tire is ROUND and the vehicle rides the center of the wheel not the very top of the tire so just think about that for a minute. As the first poster mentioned the average person would think that it would add an inch but you have to take in account static load radius which can decrease or increase clearance depending on the type of tire due to softness/hardness. I/e why some new tires sidewalls bulge more then others.
Steve Cabacungan A good question to help understanding this for instance. If going from 31 inch tires to 33 inch tires adds 2 inches of ground clearance as you say then why doesn’t 31 inch tires give you 31 inches of ground clearance? Which brings us back to the tire being round and the vehicle being supported by the wheel in the center of the tire not the full 31 inches of diameter.

I like to put the spare tire value stem down so i can check the pressure sometimes
