255/85r17

Anyone have these size tires on their 3rd gen? If so please add a picture

 

So tempted to buy these but r16 when my original tires get bald in about 6 months to one year…

I daily drive my taco… not sure if it would be wise to put these on a dd…

 

I got 285/75r16 on my taco. It's not that bad lol

 

Take a look here, also the 255/85r17s don't exist there are only 255/85r16 or 255/80r17.

Mickey Thompson makes the new Baja Boss in a 255/85R17.

 

Curious to find out what sort of trimming you would need to do to make that work!

 

The skinny 33 is the best way to fit a larger tire without having to do much

 

If your tires don't have any offset, they usually just fit with no mods.

 

Sorry to ask a dumb question

what do you mean by skinny

 

255=skinny
285=thicc boi

 

255 references the tire's width (in mm) and 85 is the percentage of that width denoting the height of the sidewall (aspect ratio). So it's a 33" tall tire but only 10" wide. A 285/70/17 is 33" tall and 11.5" wide.

 

Funny, but I actually understood both those above definitions lol

 

I just got my Mickey Thompson Baja Boss 255/85R17 and they measure really close to the posted size on their website, 34.6" not 33".

I have them mounted to Gen 2 Tacoma Sport wheels (17x7.5 +30mm) and I will be running 0.75" wheel spacers. This will give me a total of +11mm offset. I am also going to install SPC UCAs in order to move the wheels as far forward as possible. My plan is to fit these without a CMC and just some plastic trimming.

I will post pictures when I get them installed.

 

Yeah good call. The 255/85/16 are close to 33" so the 255/85/17 would be more like 34"

 

I will let you know

255/85R17 is absolutely going to require trimming up front to fit.

 

Can you send pictures of the tire itself? Or the truck if you have already mounted them. Thanks!

 

Curious to see how this goes!
