2004 Tacoma Tire Capacity

[paul223]

Just got a 2x4 Tacoma and would like to get it off the ground a bit. Don't know how big a tire I can fit (stock rims are 6"--I think). Or do I have to do a body life, wheels and tires to raise it maybe 2"? Any ideas?
Thanks

Without having a lift, I don't think you can get anything bigger on there without having it rubbing. stock size if 265/70/R16, possibly get a 275/70, or something like that.

I'm driving an 03 Tacoma 4x4 and I am getting a 3" body lift so I can put some bigger tires in the well. I've been all over the internet looking for a reasonably priced lift and www.toyteclifts.com has the best price (under $200). All the body lifts do the same thing, the question seems to be how much are you willing to pay for the brand names. Personally I don't care about what brand of lift or tire I get on the truck, just that any additional equipment I install will be durable.
Right now I've got the stock 265s with the 16" rims on my truck. After the lift I know 285s will fit in there comfortably, maybe 295s.
I do know a couple guys with 00 Tacomas who didn't lift them and stuck 275s on... there's a little rubbing in the back of the well in a 90 degree turn, but other than that, nothing remarkable. If you can deal with that, you should be good to get a slightly bigger tire without springing for the lift.
If you do put on a bigger tire with or without the lift, let me know how it works out for you. I'm considering all my options. Thanks!

dont get a body lift unless you plan on never going off road. it creates more body roll. they are also a pain in the ass to install. you can do a suspension lift on your own in an afternoon and can go more than 2 inches.
