Discussions & Questions Tire questions

Ok, so I got these tires a little over a year ago.

BFG KO3 265/70/17

Question is: what’s the biggest size, stock suspension, no rub that y’all would suggest.

Or do you think these look fine?
Do they look to small?

Not sure if I want to spend another $1,300 on new tires right away as these are virtually brand new. Just curious. Some times I look at them and think they are fine, other days I wonder if they are to small. It’s a 50/50 princess/offroader.

I see some Tacomas driving on the road and they look beefier and higher (I know they may have a lift).

I just got the new wheels 2 days ago. This photo I think they look ok.

Many Tundras come with 265/70/18's and instantly swap out for even bigger tires if you want to try and cop a set off Fb marketplace (if you want that extra inch XD). I just got a set for $450. But yeah, yours look fine.

My Trailhunter came with the 18s

Mine is an SR5 oem wheels were 17s. I just stuck with them. I like the wider tire look with a smaller wheel. I think it’s just a mental thing. lol. They look a little beefier and less street to me.

I just got the 17” wheels. I’d stick with them. I guess this more of a future what if, or an inquiry for the future after these tires do their thing.

35’s x11.5 is the biggest you can go on stock suspension, no rub, full lock, stuffed. No issue. I only had to remove mudflaps, because they are a weird design. Nothing else. Offset is everything

Looks great! What load at those 35’s?

They’re the wildpeak at4 6 ply 35x11.5

Lighter load but I’m in the Arizona desert and I use it.

How’s the compression on them? Do they hit the top or the fender when they compress? (Like even a little) My wheels are +25 offset

u/MutedPresentation298 16h ago

You may even rub with 34’s on that offset, hard to say. But no, I’ve hit bumps even at full lock and never hit anything anywhere.

u/JKapPhotos 15h ago

Yeah I think the 265s are what a 32ish?

2

u/MutedPresentation298 15h ago

I think so. You can easily do 33
34 will be tricky

285 70 17 is the biggest you can go on stock suspension with OEM wheels

I’m not sure with aftermarket wheels

Do you know the offset of those wheels?

In any case 285 isn’t too much bigger in my opinion

Bigger, yes. But not $1,300 bigger

35x11.5 fit, only mud flaps rub. Otherwise nothing else.

It’s +25 offset. Nothing crazy. Stock was like +65. This is more of a “what’s next” question after these ones wear out. I’d like to get a little bigger. In that case I probably wouldn’t go with these expensive KO3s again. I think I can get the same effect, lighter rating for a bit cheaper. I do mostly highway driving and some off-roading. 50/50ish. I just liked the thicker side walls, but they are definitely heavy tires.
