The Perfect Size Wheel + Tire Combo for a Toyota Tacoma

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 พ.ค. 2024
- We are giving my 2017 Toyota Tacoma a little bit of love and fitting some 275/70 tires on this thing. When it came to picking out a tire size I did not want to compromise too much of the Truck's characteristics. That meant, No rubbing, no having to cut the body or frame, no smashing in fender wells etc. This way I can still use the truck day to day as my daily without worry and still take it on some trails to have some fun. Fitment is spot on as well with width and poke. The Gram lights in the 17x8.5 +0 fit literally perfectly!
Wheels:
Rays 57DRX 17x8.5 + 0
Tires BFG K02 275/70/17 : amzn.to/3QXHxVg

I was about to say.. it's TACO TUESDAY
YESSSSSIR!!!!!
I feel like you should start these videos off eating a taco 😂😂
Ill start grabbing some Tacos before every video lmao 🤣
@@Smeedia comedy gold
@@Smeediasee how many you can eat
@@Fackler91I can put away some tacos 😂
Imagine if for every car type, you had to do the typical thing. lol for the Subies you gotta vape, for the rx7 you gotta watch initial D, for the taco you gotta put beer cans in the bed and a rifle in the back window.
Great Content and information. I have KO2's on my 2019 Tacoma and have never had any problems in any weather situation. I drove in a rainstorm so intense that other drivers were pulling over. I could barely see the lines on the road and I drove through it just fine at a low/safe speed. 👍🌮
So far they’ve been fantastic, especially compared to whatever tires were on the factory wheels. Most of the reviews I saw on them were all on the positive side 🎉
Every Tuesday I'm gonna order tacos. This way I can eat tacos while watching taco videos on taco Tuesday.
I am going to hold you to this....
@@Smeedia I'll let you hold anything against me 👀🌮
@@HeavyMetalWRXima hold tacos against you
@@Smeedia 👁️👄👁️🌮
“This is the way.”
Congrats on the new wheel/tire package! They look fantastic!
Thank you 🙌🫡
Very nice! Love the color!
The blue worked well with the grey 🎉
That wheel/tire setup looks fire!! 🔥
The right choice has been made ✔️
Can’t go wrong with some gram lights 🔥🙌
Wow. I also did not realize you could get Gram Lights for these too! That is a stellar choice and the fitment is perfection. I'm enjoying Taco Tuesdays more than I thought I would lol
Right?! I had no idea they made truck wheels. But I’m glad they do 😂 I’m having a blast with the truck stuff 🎉
Lots of cool logging roads up around Darrington and Mt. Baker that aren't too technical. Good place to get a feel for off-roading. I spent some time up there exploring in my '87 Dodge Raider when I lived out there. The roads up to the North Mountain fire tower are awesome.
I’ll add em to the list of places to check out 🎉 for this first one it should hopefully be pretty straight forward 😅
Loving the truck content 🫡
Yes to offroad videos
Those Rays look dope on the Taco.
I’m hyped that rays makes a set for trucks 😅🙌
Calvin finally got new shoes!!! Woohoo!!! Looking good, brother. Very noice choice of wheel. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Patrick 🥳🥳
Trucks getting sick brother,loving those rims,awesome they make them mags for trucks
Start by getting out there and experiencing the places you want to visit. A stock TRD Offroad is fairly capable right out of the gate. Ground tent, ice in the cooler, and go. Once you spend some time out there you'll get a feel for where you want to go with the truck.
If you do go the full build route, try to use aluminum wherever you can. Tacoma's are light duty little trucks. They are not fans of "overloading" instead of overlanding.
That’s one thing I’m trying to avoid is just tossing a ton of steel parts at it and weighing it down. This weekend should be a fun time just getting the truck out there to see how it does 🥳
New taco video! 🥳
🥳🥳🥳
Nice choice , looks amazing. Offroading is so much fun. To answer ur question from my last comment Im looking for a crosstreck i dont mind the year just needs to be manual
Great video, agreed 👍
It all depends on how crazy and gnarly you want to get. Rock sliders and rear bumper for coming off ledges and what not. Front bumper later especially if you want a winch. I'd start with good recovery gear. Tow strap, High lift jack. Tools, come along if you don't have a winch. Flashlights/headlamps. Ham radio/satellite phone. The list can go on forever haha
That’s kinda where I’m leaning too, start with some of the smaller items that are good to have and go from there. 🫡
Love those rims & tires Tanner. I’m thinking of upgrading mine on my Trd sport once I put a leveling kit on it.
Eyyy what set up are you looking at snagging? 🥳
@@Smeedia I was actually looking at the same rims and haven’t made up my mind on tires yet.
I definitely went ham with lift and tires, 35" tires on a 6 inch lift. It looks great but mpg, power, and road noise suffers tremendously. I think you are going the right way for a perfect mix of daily driver/overlander. All the other mods are definitely not "necessary" but some will be convenient or help in a pinch i.e. a good bumper/winch setup will help if you're able to winch forward to get unstuck. I would suggest taking it out and easing into situations to learn what will be necessary vs just looking good. If you're offroading at night a good set of ditch lights will help illumiate the trail better. I'm super hyped to see where this truck takes you and what you decide to do it. Keep up the awesome content in and out of the shop!
That’s the game plan, I think the only thing in my list to order is a front bumper winch combo just to have in a sticky situation. But everything else I don’t feel the need to have to buy right away or even toss on. At least until we get to a point where it feels 100% needed 😅
1. I ran k02s in 175-85-15s on my 92 f150 for years no issue. they did well overlanding. i also put them on my patriot.
2. i suggest bringing a jack, a tow strap if you have a friend. a shovel. no you dont need the bumpers if your doing a basic set up to go offroad every once in a while. the benefit of the steel bumpers is the winch mounts. winches are very handy for offroading. please take caution going thru puddles. toyotas electrical isnt always watertight. also check the puddle or mud hole before crossing. i went thru one that was 3ft long. 6ft wide. and 5ft deep. ate the whole front of the truck. my friend sunk the front and whole cab of his chevy 2500 on 44s with a 12" lift in what looked like a shallow swampy area. Dont be discouraged by these warning tho. some of the best views i have ever seen have been on a trail up a mountain!
RANDOM UPDATE! finally got my first video uploaded! its crappy but its a start!
Have it a quick watch keep up the videos dude! They seem to be some solid tires 🎉
Some basic recovery equipment will definitely be brought up with us. But we shall see what all we actually need 😅
You don't "need" bumpers if your truck has good recovery points that are tied into the frame. Skid plates are mandatory, rock sliders if you don't want to crunch the body of the truck are a good idea. Look into good recovery gear, come alongs will do it if you don't want to spend money on a winch, kinetic recovery ropes are the move as well. I don't overland my vehicles but I do a lot of off roading with side by sides and such.
I’ll look into some of the recovery gear options 🫡 for bumpers and what not I’ll get the truck up into the mountains to start with then go from there for what to get next for it. Sliders are definitely in the list
I've never had issues with BFGs weather truck or car. I do like the direction you're going on this one. No concrete cowboys here please
Solid tire so far for DD use. Should fare well up in the mountains this weekend 🙌
We got that size for our 4runner. Such a nice size!
So good
🥳🥳🥳
I definitely have some extra body roll with my lift. I'm on 265/70r17 right now, I'm going to 285/70r17 next. Myself and my friends that use/used BFG KO2 have had no issues in rain or snow.
For bumpers, if you want one but use your truck more as a daily then I'd get something like the SSO Slimeline, CBI Covert, or something similar that fits in the OEM bumper. Can mount a winch and a bit more protection up front.
I’ve seen a couple of those and price definitely seems more affordable than some of the other options I’ve seen out there. How large of a lift did you do?
@@Smeedia I'm at 2.5" in the front and 1.5" in the rear. I'm gonna get the DRT cab mount relocation installed when that comes in, just in case. I also installed the C4 fender liner to get a bit more clearance in the wheel well. Hoping I don't have to trim the fenders.
Best advice I can give you is go try it out and see its shortcomings. Bring some pads to get out of sticky situations and that's it. You best know what you want this truck to do and you have to feel whatever modification you need to achieve your goals. Make sure to be at least a bit prepared, in case you get stuck, and explore what, for your goals, the truck is lacking.
Update: Learn to crawl backwards. You will get into some point of no-further-progression. And maybe you won't be able to make a U-turn and go back. So, practice, at least to some degree, maneuvering the truck over little bumps and stuff backwards, you can be more confident going somewhere.
I once had to go backwards off road for a kilometer (0.6 miles) with my Mercedes E class, because there was no place to make a U turn. It was stressful and no fun, but knowledge and practice driving backwards saved me from going over the cliff. So that's something very important
Most definitely, curious to see how things go this weekend with it and what shortcomings I can find with it. I’ll see if we can find some places to try and get some reverse crawling practice. Doing it in the street is one thing but can only imagine how it’ll be on the side of a mountain 😅
I had to cut the links on my FXT when I switched to Kartboys. It’s the most relinquishing feeling after struggling with seized bolts/rusted threads and rounded allens lol
Every time they round I go straight for the die grinder lol
So I just got into a jeep Cherokee for off-roading and I did the same thing you did. I looked at all of the front bumper,rear bumper and sliders and they were crazy priced so I just built my own sliders and rear bumper I was going to use tubing for it all but ended up using the square pipe I had laying around the shop. Very simple to fabricate doesn’t have to be anything crazy I figure you put them on to use them and if they are getting used they are most definitely getting abused 😂
I was thinking the exact same thing 😂 the rock sliders just look like some bent tubing with some mounting tabs. Easy enough to build. Some of the prices in that stuff is WILD
@@Smeedia yeah exactly if you do end up getting a winch the ones at harbor freight are actually pretty decent but with whatever winch you get look into getting rid of the cable and getting an a braided artificial rope specifically made for off-road so much safe and just as durable if not more than the cable I saw a buddy snap one and go through his windshield
If ya gonna take her off road I definitely recommend a front bumper to mount a good winch. Possibly a skid plate to protect your oil pan at a minimum. Really sucks to have to walk miles with ya truck stuck in middle of woods and the tow bills are stupid expensive. Other than that go have a blast buddy
Sounds like a front bumper and winch are the most recommended items to snag 😅will get something ordered up
@@Smeedia Don't forget the skid plate as mentioned. Also a snorkel and diff breathers and your good to go.
Not sure about USA but in Australia UHF radio's are a must for off roading....get out and enjoy.
Skids and rock sliders pretty much all you need for starters
That’s what I figured, I think we can make a set of rock sliders 😅
Man I miss living near Mt Rainier. Grew up in Puyallup and it was always so majestic
Puyallup Gang! 🎉
@@SmeediaI’m close. Spanaway here.. 👍
@@RogueAquariumsmy shops out in the spanaway area 🙌
@@Smeedia where’s your shop & I’ll stop by.
My posse’s on Broadway 😎
🥳🥳🥳
@@Smeedia that’s that old school Seattle rap anthem lol
Rooftop tents on a bed rack are nice for camping. It keeps you off the ground. A grill guard would be nice to keep sticks out of your grille and lights. Otherwise, steel bumpers are unnecessary for your use case, in my humble, yet accurate opinion.
Out of curiosity you mentioned on a bed rack, better to mount them over the bed than on the roof? I’d assume just for weight?
@@Smeedia Honestly, for me, it's just a combo of aesthetics and ease of installation. Bed racks make roof tent installs easy. I also don't personally like dropping headliners to install roof racks. I also don't like the appearance of roof racks on trucks. Again, that's just my personal opinion.
Thanks for getting a taco. Everyone’s getting one or the Chevy Colorado.
Been loving this thing since picking it up 🥳
I feel like bare minimum for overlanding, you're gonna want something like those quick tracks you can put on the ground if you get stuck, especially with a very lightly modded truck. Maybe a spade, a fuel container, stuff in that realm. Depending on what you're doing, probably a cheap winch as well.
Some of the basics just feel like wouldn’t be a bad addition to have. We will see how things go this weekend without any of it 😅
@@Smeedia Best of luck to you. Definitely bring some long straps at least anyway.
Just fyi but SOG makes a pretty sick collapsable spade. And of course there's always Harbor Freight for a cheap winch... I'd probably go with something better though.
Sweet
🙌🙌🙌
Thanks for you content ,Don't know if I missed it , but what is the wheel offset ?
A matching canopy would look good, and you can make a mattress frame to sleep without putting up a tent
I’ve seen some of those 😅 if we get to a point where we’re out all the time I might snag something
Just hear to say ❤ to Tanner 🤣
🫶🫶🫶
What oil are you going to use for that Taco? 0w20😮?
"Remember stupid, you've also gotta drive this thing home too." Saw that on a window sticker once.
Good words to live by 😅
Looks good man. Take your truck out, and test it out to see the truck's capabilities for what you are gearing it to. I have a 19 Pro Tacoma, but I left the suspension alone, front bumper Victory Hybrid with Warn 10S winch, full aluminum skids, Prinsu Rack, Diamond Back HD with custom Yakima Bars/Sky Tent, DOM Rock Rails from C4, Rigid Lights on A Pillar, and Right Rear of Bed, ARB Air Compressor in your cubby in the bed, Hi-Lift Jack and other recovery in front inside bed, changed tires to Nitto Terra Grappler G2's, CB Radio in center console, Yakima Awning, and other camp related gear. It's built that way because of how many overlanding trips we took, and refined my build based on the needs. It rides the same-ish, but I'd like what you said earlier needs more power. Looking at a Pro-Charger for it currently. Keep building it man, looks great. Love the content. 🔥
she will be good for you to learn to to get stuck and unstuck and explore where you can go with a vehicle. I spent almost 2 years exploring austrailia in a 4x4, what I was taught and learned, get the gear to get you home (winch, skidplate, recovery ramps, air compressor, full size spare tire), think about the gear to pretty it up or keep it pretty(bumpers, lights, snorkel, etc,), and consider the gear that will make it more enjoyable (camping gear, fridge, gear to build a fire and eat). The bumpers will give you better approach and exit angles and you are not worried about the plastic bumper covers being ripped off when you do something stupid like we all do.
Fair points, my rear bumpers already broken so I’ve been eye balling some replacements. The front bumper sounds appealing for the addition of having a winch at minimum. But should be fun to get it out and see what it needs after each adventure 🥳
I’m also not a fan of putting steel components in a truck thus making it heavy & running slower because of the added weight put into it. Another thing is the wheel & tires that poke too much out of the fenders also making the truck slower because of the weight & more contact patch. That setup you have is perfectly fine to me.
This seems to be a good mix of both for what we’re going for. I understand the steel components serve a purpose. But at the same time most people don’t fully use them or get the use out of em
Yes your right. To most of them it doesn’t serve the purpose.
The taco is looking nice. When are you doing pretty adders? Maybe a winch? More lights
I’m on the edge of doing any of that up until like I feel like the truck NEEDs it 😅
@Smeedia, how about a nice exhaust?
I saw your the video drop and I clicked it so fast that I almost broke my phone screen
Don’t break anything 😅😅
@Smeedia is worth watching specially when it comes to BIG BERTHA 👍
As a tech working at my dealership,Ive seen it all with tacomas and tundras. Ive seen tundras with the stock trd skidplate absolutely shred bigger tires because they dont think about that skidplate. Ive seen tacomas with a full overland kit and have some absolutely stupid heavy tires and with a extreme offset then to have an advisor get mad at me asking whats taking so long,ohhh i dont know,try some 75lb tires lol
Little bit of an extra work out pulling em off every time 😅 they add up quick in weight with size
@@Smeedia Also thank god my dealership will not allow techs do rotates with vehicles that have 15mm + spacers,they dont wanna deal with the possible issues with those
Curious, what's the weight of the rays wheel?
I’m in Washington too. We should do some off roading sometime
That was an end link? I thought it was the intro to Lowrider by WAR...
It's a good idea not to off road alone, 2 or 3 vehicles would be better in the event something were to go sideways, you'll have help. Also though the bumpers may be heavy that can lead to better traction with the added weight and a place to mount a winch, hope you never need it butthe peace of mind goes a long way when your rig is set up propperly. If your truck doesn't have electric lockers, when you re gear I would go the extra mile and install them. It makes a world of difference between being locked and open diffs..
Talked a buddy of mine to come up with me 😅
From what everyone is suggesting I think I’ll just start off with a front bumper and winch just for the peace of mind as go from there.
Did not even think about how the extra weight would also help with traction, I’ll get it up there see how it does and go from there 🫡
Would 285/70’s not fit? I’ve looked into those but they do add some extra height with the sidewall width
From what I found they’re hit or miss depending on the wheel. Some people run, others don’t
Do you know what ring groove you used on the 5100’s? I drive an FJ with same tire and lift. I put mine on 3 and seem to have just a bit of reverse rake.
3rd slot for me 🫡 bolster said it was a 1.10” lift. After a couple days the springs resettled. Mine also had a little reverse rake at first
@@Smeedia guess if we ever add a winch or bumper it would work fine. Had mine on 4 years and they never settled, but possibly the front end of FJ is incrementally lighter than Taco. Incidentally, my wife drives a 2023 Trail Edition Taco with factory lift, she loves it.
Are you gonna film the adventures up at the mountain?
I’ll bring the camera up 🫡
Hey Tanner. Long time fan. I don't have social media but would like to shoot you a message about my 2019 STI. How or what do I need to do to get in touch? Loving the content.
Email works best 🫡

ok but whats a Perfect Size Wheel + Tire Combo for a Subaru WRX baby yea!!
18x9.5 +38 on a 255/35/18 👌
Can you remind what the tire size is?
I think that’s a perfect set up for a taco
Throtl put bronze ones on a 2019 ranger and they were sexy 🤤
Kinda contemplating 6 lug converting my Ranger and snagging some 🤔😅
The rangers 5 lug?! We debated snagging some bronze for the Tacoma. But EVERYONE had bronze on theirs 😅
My ranger is a 94 so it’s still a 5 lug and it’s HARD to find proper fitment for it if it’s not an off-road rim or steel wheel but those rays would fit perfect 🤌
Taco Tuesdays!
you can overland a standard vehicle. Tyres are the best change, just for reliability. Keep it light.
That’s the goal, I don’t wanna just toss a ton of steel body panels at this thing 😅
I have a TRP OR 4Runner, all you need if you want some peace of mind are skid plates and sliders. Can find aluminum plates to save weight. Don't be fooled by people doing metal bumpers, winches, rear tire holders, huge lifts, huge tires etc, you do not need that. I'm in Utah with some impressive (and difficult) terrain to drive on and the TRD 4R or Taco are incredibly capable. Unless you seek out dedicated 4x4 trails on something like onX you don't need much besides offroad tires which you now have! Your TRD Taco will eat up any forest road you find out there (I was born and raised in Seattle, we took our Forester on any/every forest road with 0 problem and the TRD Taco/4Runner is 100x more capable).
Now you need proper sliders!
Your breaks are probably not big enough to have ABS kick in with the increased rotating mass if you were putting your foot to the floor.
😎👍🏻👍🏻
TOM MY MANS!
You don’t like drift taco??
When it’s intentional I’m game for it. But not when it sneaks up on ya 😂
Your my boy blue but those tires are booty cheeks!!! 😂
What’s wrong with em?!
Perhaps you should learn wich corner it is 😅
Keep it stock and the resale value will stay up high no need to add shit change oil every 3000 miles and just drive it and enjoy it.
Don’t do forced induction do a diesel swap🤣🤣
Not a Tacoma fan but here's a comment anyways
Don't fall for the TacoTuber hype lmao 😂
Completely unnecessary, would really like to see a rear disc brake conversion.
I have that sitting in my cart right now 😂
Can’t wait for this specifically
Do you need all of the bells and whistles? No. But I think you even said it yourself, when you go up the mountain you don’t want to get stuck so you should at minimum have a winch to get yourself out of a jam. All of the other mods are too niche for a daily driver
Front bumper and winch are the only two I really feel like would be more in the needed side than a fun addition
Thumb nail "Perfect wheel and tire setup - No Lift" proceeds to install 5100s at +1 inch 😂 looks good though, keep in mind any lift on these will cause the needle bearing on the drivers side of the transfer case to wear prematurely and it's worth doing the ECGS clamshell bushing, Toyota will not honor warranties on axles or the needle bearing when aftermarket lifts are installed. They will honor the warranty IF you remove the lift prior to service and pretend you don't know why it went bad or IF you pay THEM to install the trd lift which is essentially just rebranded 5100s like you used here
Start simple with a pop up tent and a couple bins of camping stuff and see if you even like to camp out in the woods. Don't become one of those overland fanbois that bolt 1000's and 1000's of dollars worth of heavy junk on their trucks to then leave it on 24/7/365 only to stay on the pavement. All that junk screws your MPGs up and most overland poser rigs are over their GVWR and shouldn't even be on the road let alone offroad!
Great wheel choice, looks incredible, really brings out the aggressive looks on a daily setup.
Tho she could do with bolt ons.
Never heard an exhaust on a taco before......
Think about iiiiiiitttttt🥹
I just got the exhaust in today for it from our guys at AWE 💪🔥
@@Smeedia 🤘🏼🤘🏼
You need a Taco place to sponsor you and supply you with a plate of tacos for each of these vids 🌮🛻
Fill the entire truck bed with Tacos 🌮 😂
