New tires - need bigger - TundraTalk.net

akizer7 · 01-28-2008, 08:23 PM

Hey - I just bought an 03 Tundra SR5 4x4 - extended cab. It has stock 17" wheels - what are the biggest (tall) tires I can get w/o a lift? Currently has 265/65/17. Any suggestions? Thanks

I know you could go to a 265/70R17 but I want to say you could go up to a 285/70R17 but I dont think any larger will fit. The 265/70R17 is just 5% taller. The middle number is the aspect ratio which determines the height of the tire. The 265/65R17 is 30.6 x 10.7 and the 285/70R17 is 32.8 x 11.5 so it possbily could rub. I dont know why toyota has such crazy sizes. Most manufactures such as gm went with the 265/70R17 stock.
