Thanks mate just cant find much on the sr rims 17 inch not.18 like rhe sr5

If you use this you can see that a 17inch rim size will give you a 25mm smaller tire size and 79mm overall circumference less.

Thanks mate ill use that tool. Just would have liked to hear from real life experience from anyone who has that combo.

I guess you can only go by what the 18r blokes have done knowing that if they can you should be right with 17r's. Either that or try at your local shop and then come back with your real world results.

I have a tyre question.
When I eventually change my 265/65/R18 tyres can I go to the taller 265/70/R18 without any rubbing issues?
Has anyone already done this to a new gen 8 model and if so was there any issue?
Cheers,
Tone

I just fitted 265×70 on my 17 inch sr rims and its pretty close to upper control arm. You should be right as your not going any wider.

Thanks Lux.
Anyone else gone taller?

I'll ask again because I really want to know, has anyone got 265/70/R18 tyres on their hilux?

And if so any problems?

i'm just about to go back to the 18" rims (from 20's, too rough and cant get enough tyre for softness) and im putting on the new Falken AT3 in 275/65, I have a 2" lift but with a steel ARB so there's a bit of sag, I will let you know how they go

Cheers. I assume 275 would be ok

So I've now fitted the Falken AT3 in 275/65 on the 18" Toyota rims, no scrubbing, these are actually quite a tall tyre and look heaps better than the 60 profile A/T's I see on many SR5's. Remember I have an OME front 2" lift which has sagged a bit with the ARB Summit bar, the ride is now better than the 20" rims I pulled off with 50 profile A/T's.

Careful around police radar until you get the speedo calibrated you will be faster than stock.

On my last car (FJ) I went up one tyre profile from stock and the speedo was bang on afterwards. On this Hilux I went up one profile and it is reading under by 3% so I agree, be conscious of your speeds after increasing tyre size on this model.

Thanks creaky and don't trust your satnav until you know, satnav is reasonably accurate but not always. 3% under at 100ks is around 103+/- so if the copper ain't friendly look out

Lux2.8 how's the ride quality of the dobinson suspension?

Hey mate, i've seen this done before. a 2" lift allows plenty of fitment for a 275/70r17 and it seemed to have no problem.

I checked on the GPS and it seems almost spot on maybe slightly under, the 65 profile in the 275 width Falken AT3 is quite a tall tyre
