On the 3rd Gen we can put 255/85r16's on with no lift or mods. Funny that the Falken guy doesn't know this, considering they make a 255/85r16 in the Wildpeak AT4. No chopping or suspension lift. Just for the Taco boys out there riding in the last great gen of the V6!
Thanks for putting this info out there. Though I don't personally own a Tacoma, I am a supporter of a pizza cutter tire. Most people prefer the look of the 285 vs a 255, so I haven't heard that confirmed before.
@@falkentireMy original swap from stock was 233/85r16 and those boys are skinny! lol! I loved them, but finding out that I can go up even higher than that set, mod free, made me get the AT4 Pizza cutters in 255. Great tire!!!
Good information! I’m thinking about doing a 0 offset on 17x9 as well. Now considering the tire size would a 265/70/17 work help as far as fitment without issues instead of the 285/70/17?
At the time it did not seem as if there would be an issue with water intrusion. The holes you can see in the video were in brackets that the cover bolted too. It certainly wasn't water tight in stock form.
Not much clearance on compression. You are probably going to rip the fender off or smash the tire into it. The newer trucks are sitting lower and lower to the ground these days. The Nissan frontier pretty much has no room for anything unless you lift it.
I’m still learning my truck stuff. Just bought a 2024 Tacoma 6ft bed. The look I wanted was 275/70/17. I found secondhand 275/70/18. Will the wheels look too big ?
Do you happen to know the width of the stock wheels? The LT285/70R17 Wildpeak A/T4W is approved for a 7.5 - 9.0" wide wheel. Also, the wheel offset of the stock wheels is certain to change the fitment. However, as we can see, a 0mm offset has the tires sticking out too far beyond the wheel wells. So the stock offset might work. We didn't try. Sorry.
Just because you can fit them in you should consider there're not engineered for it, and the truck is under powered as it is. Will say Toyota's dependability is solid.
That size is a tad shorter in overall diameter, and just a hair wider than what we used in the video. Seems like you'll likely be fine, but it's worth inspecting yourself to make sure.
Agree with your statement! They are a hazard to other vehicles on the road without mudflaps. Plus, they don't look good either. It's like a poser widebody without the actual widebody fenders and suspension.
ARE u going to loss any horse power because bigger using diameter tire demands bigger torque to crank this 4500 lbs beast,, and you may experience fuel mileage decrease since needs to push harder on the gas pedal whenever climb hill or driving with load??? I bet you on flat,, good mpg,, but on ascent and with heavy load,, Poor mpg
I have a 24 TRD Off Road on a Quality Hold as well. I hope they fix that TFL problem.
255/80/R 17 A true 33.1 inch tire also fits ! LT285/70R17 Wildpeak A/T4W 32.8 inch
Just ordered 285/70/17 because everybody on the forums has said that's the perfect fit with a 25 mm offset. I sure hope so!
Yes, 0 offset I don’t think is good. Did you get method wheels? I can only find icon wheels with 25 and method at 35
@@rodsguerreirodefaria I went with method 305s and that offset was perfect. Looks sick! Went with Maxxis A/T tires.
@@jetter820I ended with 285/70/17 BFG KO3 method 707 +25 and it’s awesome 😊
@@jetter820 Do you have a SR5? I’m not really looking to lift mine so I was wondering how’s those 285/70/17’s with the 25mm worked for you

Would like to see this same video but without the wheel sticking out as much.

Is there something that goes back over that opening when removing the crash bar mount to prevent water from getting inside?

U wanna see if will fit on a '75 Chevy K10???
Stock, or lifted? 🤔
@@falkentire Stock!!
Thinking of going with same setup but a -10 offset ......would that cause rubbing
285/75/r17 fit ! 33.9 inch tire !

The DV8 team said they put it on a fork lift and flexed it out to make sure they weren't rubbing.

Can you specify the lug nuts I can’t seem to find the right lugs for the trd bronze off the 4Runner
WHATS THE BEST TUNE FOR THESE TRUCKS?
We'll have to let the Tacoma community chime in on this one. Sorry.
Is the removal of the factory crash bar necessary if im not into off roading?
no, and you dont have to remove the crash plate at all. The only reason the tires rubbed in this case was due to the offset
What about 3rd gen?
i have the 24 trd sport do u think this setup would work with out rubbing
Can you run these tires on the stock wheels?

What is this method wheel model?
Basically no short answer saved you 10 mins ..
a lot of useful information in that 10 minutes though
I hate the promise and not delivery
i have a 2024 TRD Sport and i went with a 285/55/r20 with a 00 offset. do you think ill have any issues?

Well sumbitch. All these years, myself and everyone else I've heard, thought it was pronounced Fall-Ken. I'm feeling a little unwell, now.
You're not the first, or the last!
Me too!
I can't believe people think the offset looks good like this. Thanks for blasting everyone with gravel with that mad poke and no flaps.
The guys from DV8 weren't very happy with the offset. But since the clearance was unknown, they played it safe. It's going to need a positive offset.
Agree with your statement! They are a hazard to other vehicles on the road without mudflaps. Plus, they don't look good either. It's like a poser widebody without the actual widebody fenders and suspension.
@@falkentire25 to 35 minimum
A lot of wrong information given here.
35s on the 4th gen Tacoma
Will it break is the more appropriate question.
as weak as the front differential has proven to be, i wouldn't want to put bigger tires on it and add to the load.
Add about 20lbs a tire over stock 😂 especially with those fat ass Falkens
ARE u going to loss any horse power because bigger using diameter tire demands bigger torque to crank this 4500 lbs beast,, and you may experience fuel mileage decrease since needs to push harder on the gas pedal whenever climb hill or driving with load??? I bet you on flat,, good mpg,, but on ascent and with heavy load,, Poor mpg
There will be about 4.5% loss of torque.
There is always a little give and take. 4th gen Tacoma owners need to report back on drivability and MPGs.

Way too much poke. That OEM paint is going to take a beating.
