What tire size do I need based on lift height?
TACOMA TIRE SIZE GUIDE:
Leveling kits add anywhere between 1” to 3”. In the examples below, we’ll outline the maximum tire size you can use if you have either a 2”, 2.5”, or 3” lift.
Your exact setup will vary depending on the actual diameter of your tire. These metrics vary from one manufacturer to another, even though they may be labeled with the same sizes.
2″ Lift
Here’s a list of tire upsizing options categorized according to rim sizes: 15”: 265/75/R15 16”: 265/75/R16 17”: 275/70/R17 18”: 275/70/R18
Note that these sizes are suitable for OEM rims (or even aftermarket rims with stock offset), without the need for any cutting or trimming.
3″ Lift
3” is about as high as you can go with a leveling kit; any more than 3” and you’re going to need a lift kit. Recommended maximum tire sizes for 3” lift on OEM wheels include: 16”: 285/75/R16 17”: 285/70/R17 18”: 275/70/R18
285/75/R16 and 285/70/R17 tires are extremely popular on 3rd gen Tacomas because 285 mm width seems to be at a sweet spot. Although, at full lock, 285s are known to rub against the upper control arms, which comes down to offset and backspacing. This issue doesn’t arise with wheels that have 0 offset and 4.5” of backspacing.
If you’ve done your fair share of research on what modifications you’ll need to make to get different-sized tires to fit on your Tacoma, one thing you’ve probably come across is cab mount chop or CMC.The whole point of this exercise is that the new plates will sit farther back because they’re flatter, and doing that will open up some extra space for your wider tires.

What tire size can I fit on my Tacoma?
Heres the short answer:
1ST Gen
The largest rim size you get on stock Gen 1 Tacomas is 16″, and the largest tire that fits on these rims without clearance issues is 265/75R16. These tires are about an inch taller than the stock 265/70R16s.
2ND Gen & 3RD Gen
Gen 2 and Gen 3 Tacoma don’t come with 14” OEM rims, which is a good thing if you’re looking for larger tires. The minimum rim size starts at 15″ and goes all the way up to 18″, which gives you a lot more flexibility when it comes to upsizing. Maximum tire size options (without clearance issues) for OEM 16”, 17”, and 18” rims include: 16″: 265/75R16 17″: 265/70R17 18″: 265/65R18 The same applies to 3rd gen Tacomas because they have the same rim size options and wheel specs as the Gen 2 models.
