Sorry about the engine noise at the beginning of the video, but I was so excited about going to get the tires mounted that I did not turn it off. I got a couple of comments. If you can get past the few minutes of the engine being on you will see why I did the video.
Don't forget the spacers you are probably going to need them. And make sure your TPMS's work after the tire change, they should. Mine didn't work because they broke one of them and didn't tell me. Good luck.
Would more negative offset rims assist with the UCA rubbing rather than adding spacers? I know there is certainly a price point variance between the two methods.
Be sure to get ET (extended lug nuts) the lug nuts that come with your spacers don't seat properly for thread depth safety. I'm running a 1.5" KSP spacer (hub-centric) with a Bilstein 6112/5160 and add-a-leaf in the rear, lift setting is at max 3" on my 2018 Tacoma TRD Off-Road and just about ready to get new tires. Looking hard at the Falken WildPeak AT3 in a 285x75R16 I like the OEM Tacoma Off-Road wheels but really like the TRD PRO 16" wheels. Also looking at Toyo C/T and Nitto Recon Grapplers.
Yes I did make sure that they were hub centric and that I had plenty of thread and used thread locker to hold them down. I also torqued them to the right torque. It's funny but you criticize me for using puck lifts but, you use spacers and someone else criticized me for using spacers. I do the best I can with my limited budget and it works fine for this mall crawler.
@@juliodavid49 Two totally different things but okay, helpful advice maybe but you choose to see it otherwise. So I'll be honest if you're not using the extended lug nuts you're asking for trouble but I guess you know that too! Giving real world helpful advice is criticizing, I guess everyone is so easily offended nowadays.
@@tawaitai First of all my wheel spacers came with extended lug nuts. That's why I have a safe amount of thread to hold them. And yes you criticized me for using puck lifts and wrote "basically mall crawlers don't see much off-road at all". What I wrote was that you criticize me for using puck lifts but other people criticize us for using wheel spacers, which you don't mind using. I appreciate you pointing out the use of extended lug nuts and everybody should look for spacers that come with them. However I was slightly offended by your mall-crawler comment. Many people that modify their trucks with lifts and bigger tires do not go off-roading. They just like the look. Just like me.
Cool vid man, running mts when you don't wheel you're definitely gonna regret. There's hybrid tires now that last probably twice as long and look just as aggressive. Make sure to rotate your tires and check the torque on those spacers very often. Cheers!
I'm not sure why you feel I will regret it if I don't wheel, but the reason I got these was that I had 295 70 r17 Nitto Grapplers on my daily driver 2011 Jeep JK and never had a problem with those. Also I couldn't find any other brand that I like in this size. And lots of people buy these for for light trucks without any problems. I always rotate my tires on all vehicles that I've owned. I also had spacers on my old 2005 Tacoma without problems. So you see this is not my first time doing this sort of stuff so I think I'll be ok. This is not a daily driver so I will let you know if I regret it. Thanks for the comment.
@@juliodavid49 More because mud tires are very specific to mud and rocks, not made for asphalt at all, so they wear down twice as fast if not faster due to the soft rubber compound. That's all I mean, there's hybrid tires aka Falken wildpeaks or ko2s, nitto even makes the Ridge grappler and Terra grappler which would last way longer. That's all I mean dude, there are better options than mud tires if you don't go in mud. I can tell you know what you're doing but doesn't mean an all terrain wouldn't be better suited for your needs. Cheers from a fellow tacoma owner 🤘
@@4xhoser Ok I understand. I didn't know this. But I looked high and low and couldn't find anyone else that made this size. I didn't want to start lifting it more or cutting into the wheel wells so this was the perfect size for me. I don't drive the truck every day so more wear doesn't bother me. But I'm glad you pointed this out so that others who are thinking of buying these will take this into account. Appreciate your comment and advice. And I love my Tacoma.
@@juliodavid49 I have a pair of the ko2s in a 285 70 R 17 got them from Costco you can order them in a 16 too .try them if you want to give them a shot when it's time for new rubber I really like them alot
@@kennytc6 Just checked, Costco doesn't have these in 285 70 16. This seems to be on odd size, that is why I bought them from Nitto. They were the only manufacturer that had them when I was looking for them.. Also I don't have a membership for Costco. I refuse to pay a store for the privilege of shopping in their store.
Yes, they will fit you just not gonna get that aggressive look and then you're gonna have to go up at least 3 inch lift 75 are taller than 70 I would put 16 x 8 negative offset with a 2 1/2 inch lift 285/70r16
No they are not the best choice. The 265 75 16 are 31.6" x 10.4" x 16. Stock tires are 30.5" x 10.4" x 16. Not much of a difference, only 1 inch taller. So what is the point of changing them? 285 70 16 are 32.7 x 11.5 x 16. 2" taller than stock and most important is that they are 11.5 inches wide and that is what I wanted. I recently I bought 0 offset rims and do not need the spacers and no rubbing.
I don't remember. You are better off looking in your area to see how much it will cost. Be careful to get someone who will not scratch up your new rims or break one of your TPMS valves. Which both happened to me. Get someone who is recommended even if you spend a bit more.
If you don't lift it you will probably get some rubbing. My front tires were only rubbing on the upper arm and I had to get spacers to offset the tire more. I used 2" spacers on top of the shocks for the front and 1" blocks for the back.
Oh ok. Thank you. Would you share with me the brand of those level kits and where did you find those tires.?? I am looking everywhere and I just can not find them.
@@juliodavid49 ok thank you so much for all the info. I really appreciate that. One last question. For sure your truck has the 2” front lift? Not the 3” right? Just wanna make sure before I order it. Thank you and I apologize for too many questions.
The problem was with the width not the height of the tire. So it probably would have rubbed anyway. But I can't test it because I'm not going replace my lift kit just to prove the point. But recently I bought new rims with 0 offset and I don't need the spacers anymore and the tires do not rub. So I don't believe the .5 higher lift would have cleared the rubbing.
@@tpharo34 Ok. I repeat if I would had gotten the 0 offset rims from the beginning I would not have had that type of rubbing problem. And yes maybe it would have cleared with a 2.5 or a 3 inch lift, but I can not tell you for sure because I didn't do that, and I cannot test that to tell you if you are right. Did you or someone you know lift their truck and install 285 70 16 tires with stock rims and a 2.5 lift on a Tacoma to be able to say with certainty that you did not have rubbing problems?
@@juliodavid49 hey Bravo actually yes I ve been researching myself a lot about suspensions and lifts particularly on Tacomas and still learning more as I go. I am also a Tacoma owner. My favorite pickup. You can’t go wrong the way your doing it I was just saying bc you were so close to clearing. I just know you ll limit yourself on what the truck can do if you put spacers in but that may be what you want so no criticism. Good looking truck👍
Yes they are stock rims. That is why I had to add the spacers. The stock rims do not have the proper offset to keep them from rubbing. But I did not know that at the time. So that is why I did the video to show that if you keep your stock rims the tires will rub and you are going to have add spacers. I did not have the money at the time so that is why I did it that way.
Well I have to tell you they do help in the snow. And we do get our fair share of snow here in the north east. My 2005 Tacoma had factory non off road tires when I had it years ago. I got stuck on the off ramp a few times on my way to work. I also got stuck trying to get into my driveway on my wife's Nissan all wheel drive car with no off road tires. I put them on my 2005 Taco and on this Taco and haven't gotten stuck in the snow since. So I hope this helps with your confusion. The tires are not just meant for off roading.
Most people just like the look and profile of aggressive and bigger tires. There's no law saying you have to offroad with mt tires. All stock Tacomas rub on 285s even with a lift, gotta do some mods . wheel spacers, Bmc chop, aftermarket control arms, etc.
Back up so I can see the whole truck! Don't understand why people think we want to see closeup of tires, and not how the truck sits. At least you didn't spend most of the time talking in the camera.
The purpose of the video was about the tires rubbing because of the width of there tires and how to fix it, not the stance. If the video was about the stance then I would have shown the whole truck. Sorry.

@@darrylmclaren2546 Glad to hear it. These tires look really nice on any truck.
Would more negative offset rims assist with the UCA rubbing rather than adding spacers? I know there is certainly a price point variance between the two methods.
Yes. That's what the spacers do, they move the tire out. I just wasn't ready to buy new rims after buying the tires.

Question will a 285/75r16 fit the stock rims instead of 285/70r16? Because there are not so many choices for 285/70r16 out there.. just the Nitto.
Just make sure the tires are the right width for your wheels. I'm sure you can find 285/75r16 that will fit the stock wheels.

Or what did you used to lift the front 2”?
probably an extension kit. it's around 40bucks
Did you get bilstein 5100 and upper control arm replaced?
No. Kept all factory suspension.
265 75 16 is the best choice. No rubbing anywhere and overall height is almost identical ( about 2mm in the difference).
No they are not the best choice. The 265 75 16 are 31.6" x 10.4" x 16. Stock tires are 30.5" x 10.4" x 16. Not much of a difference, only 1 inch taller.

Question how much did it cost you for the four tires mounting and balance

I use them in the snow all time.
How much for the tires and how many miles did you get on them ?
About 250 each. They are still on the truck.
What is the width of your wheels and are there any offset?
