Trying to find tires...

03 Prerunner. I currently have 265/75/16's and they don't even come close to rubbing. Lifted the truck today like 2 inches all around and need to get some tires. What do you think is the biggest I can fit in there?

Here's a pic

you could get 285 75 16's it looks like its like a 33x11 that will still fit on your stock 16's.

Just spent the last hour lookin' around and thats what I want to try to get on there. Some 285/75/16 Terra Grapplers.

Would shops be able to test one out or anything for me? Don't want to get them put on to find out they don't fit or somethin'.

I was originally trying to find some used rims with some good tires but haven't been able to find anything so sticking with the stock rims. That is unless something comes up in the next few days before I make the order

I was also thinking about trying to lift the rear 1 more inch. Shackles seem to be the only way to go

Ive read of other people having slight rubbing issues but mine werent even close. Even with the wheel fully locked to one side I had plenty of room to spare

get some Nitto Terra Grapplers and don't look back, great for the road and great for off road, ride real smooth too. as for as size goes 285/75/16's if you can, you will catch people stairing at your truck, I'm out!

265/75/16's will fit a stock Taco, no issues.

you should go with the 285's. They will look great, and if you dont offroad, then no worries.

x5, 285s will be good for your setup even more if you're keeping it onroad.

x Whatever, go with 285/75s.

However, IMO go w/ the Nitto TGs. I just mounted a set of Nitto TG 265/75s on my 4Runner and love them. Their on road and off road manners are great and the price can't be beat. I got my 32's for $113 ea out the door.

I will definitely be going with a 285/75 in another year or two and plan to get them in the Nitto brand as well.

Unser Tire currently has the Nitto TG in a 285/75/16 for $133 ea with free shipping: Click Me

Discount Tire also has the Nitto TG in a 285/75/16. However, they want $143 ea with free shipping: Click Me


I've never dealt with Unser Tire, so when I ordered my 32" Nittos, I contacted Discount Tire, gave them the link to Unser's Nittos and Discount Tire price-matched them for me. Ordered them and had them on my door step in 2 days.
