305/70R16 on 3 Gen TRD Off Road

Will these fit without trimming?

I stuck 285/70R16’s on before I even leveled it. The Cooper STT Pro 285/75R16 is 33” tall. The 305/70R16 is 32.99 tall.

Hopefully someone can tell me.

Thanks in advance.

 

The 305 is about an inch wider. They sit almost as wide as a 35". You may experience rub on stock upper control arms and with stock wheels.

 

Will spacers help.??? I have a 17 off road will like to keep oem wheels I had mud grapplers on a previous truck. Do you guys think 305/70r16 will fit? Or how could I make them fit.

 

You need to get your wheels as close to 0 offset as you can. You’ll need to run a 1” spidertrax spacer. 1.5 will be too much. You’ll be rubbing the fender at that point. Your stock wheels are a +25 offset. A 1” spacer will get you at 0 offset. That’s the only way you’re fitting those on stock wheels. And even then it’s a maybe.

 

Thanks bro. Cool set you have going there.

So I would have to do a cmc?? Or not even like that. I have a cheap low range 3/1 leveling kit for now saving for kings. Do you think like that it would work.

 

Kings wont even help, CMC will but you'll need uppers to help push the wheels forward. The tire is also far too wide for stock rims.

I would only run that tire size on a 6" lift, and those are stupid.

 

You’re right. I guess I have to start forgetting of the nitto mud grapplers. Lol. What the biggest I’ll be able to go as far as some Mt’s?

 

Mine are 285/75R16 Cooper STT Pro’s MT’s. They are 33” and 11.3 wife. I think they look great.

 

Here’s a link to MT’s that come in 285/75R16...

Thanks man it looks perfect. Last question did you do a cmc of spacers. Can you hook me up with details on your lift build.

 

No CMC or trim. Just Bilstein 5100’s up front and AAL in rear.

 

Truck looks great! I'm about to take delivery of my MGM and have been lurking TW for the last few days digesting all the info I can to get my truck looking exactly like yours. It seems like the majority of users at dead set on 5100s paired w/ OME's and an AAL, but you might have taken a different route based on the response above. Are the 5100s the only mod up front? No springs?

Also, about to order NVs 16x8 as well, but with 265/75's to prevent rubbing. So this is great stumbling upon your MGM cause it is a spitting image of what I imagine mine to be.

Thanks!

 

That’s right. No springs, just 5100’s and an AAL. My tires are 285/75R16 Cooper STT Pro’s.

Enjoy your new truck! You’ll love it.

 

I've ran those tires on 7" wheels for years. Also on a older 4runner with 3" lift. They are a 33" tire. Not hard to run at all. Your info is misguided.

 

2017 Taco w/ aftermarket (off-road) front bumper, 3” Bilstein 5100 lift, and put 305/70r16 BFG KO2s on stock rims - but also installed Spidertrax 1-1/4” spacers. No cutting necessary - no rubbing.

 

Sorry to resurrect a dead thread, any chance you're still running this and could post front and side pics? I'm thinking about going this route. How has this worked out @Swayze?

 

Im also interested in upgrading to 295 75 16s which is just off by a little from the 305s. I wanted to know what backspacing range to look for in a 16 x 8 in order to clear cab mount and the frame at full lock? I assume the offset should be around -10 to 10.

 

Just doing my part here because this thread helped me out with visuals. Currently around the corner from paying my truck off, then it’s time for the Dirt King LT treatment! In the meantime, you guys helped me decide on 305/70/16 on a 3” lift for the past few years. Cheers everyone

 

Any rubbing? Looking at doing the 3.5” rough country kit and doing 305s on stock wheels. I currently have 1.5” spacers on 265/75/16

 

Wow, I never saw this thread before and I carved out the space for 305/70r16s for my 3rd Gen a couple years ago.

First, putting a 305 on a 7" wide wheel is asking for de-bead blowout or ruining your tire. I got 8.5" width wheels for them. Stick to skinnies if keeping 7" stock wheels.

Second, the least amount of wheel offset necessary for your tire tread to clear your UCA, produces the least amount of cutting needed to clear a 12+" sidewall width tire. Think in the 0 range first and go from there.
