31x10.50R15 tires too much on a 2.7L?
I'm in the process of cleaning up some alloy wheels I have recently purchased. Once I am done, I plan to buy another set of tires. I currently have 235/75R15s. I was thinking about going to 31x10.50R15s so I can a little bit more ground clearance.
My truck is stock. Are there any problems with upgrading to this size, especially since I have the 2.7L?
Plus, I need to make sure that the 31x10.50R15s can fit this type wheel? Anyone know that too?

my '99 reg cab came with 265/75/15's which are approx. 31's, i think that if the Tacoma came with alloys, then 31's were the tire that came on it, i am guessing that yours came with steel wheels?

My old Tacoma had those wheels stock with the 31" tires. You need to check the axle code. I think mine was 4.10. I also had a 93 truck with the 235/75/15 tires and steel wheels. I put the 31's off my 4Runner on the rear one day to see what it was like. No noticible power loss, but they were on only 4 hrs.

Great, that makes me feel better.
Yeah, my truck currently has the steel wheels on it. I have to remove the clearcoat off one more of the alloys before I can get some tires put on. I wouldn't be taking off the clearcoat, but the wheels I bought turned out to be kinda rough when they arrived-they were probably on a model older than mine. The 3 I've already finished look good though-just so time consuming.
But, in the meantime I can price around for the 31s.
Thanks for the help.
