New to tires and rims

[rfaulk9308]

I might have put this in the wrong place, idk. here goes

I have a 2008 Toyota Tacoma, Regular Cab, PreRunner, 2WD, SR5, 2.7L (thats a mouthful! hahah)

Anyway, I was looking to replace the rims and tires when the current set of tires needs replacing

The rims i want are American Racing Baja 17x8

I would like BFG All-Terrain T/A K/O tires, but i have no idea what size tires i need

so if someone would explain it to me that would be wonderful!

Thanks!

I just picked up a set of Bridgestone REVO 2 for my Taco. 265/65/17

With my short experience with them, I really like them. Only costed me $660 total at the local Firestone.

My base total price was about $745. But I signed up for their creditcard and it gave me an additional 10% off.

I dont really know how I got my deal. I saw the ad for buy 3 Revos, get 1 free. I called them on the phone to see if they had it in stock. They quoted me the $745. I thought the price seemed a little high with a free tire, but still sounded like a good price. But when I got there, I found out the deal was for original revos, and the shop only had Revo 2.

Looking over my invoice. It looks like I received a bunch of other discounts. Looks like I got charged for road hazard protection too. I wonder if i could have opt out of it and saved even more.... Oh wells.

Whats the diff between Revo 2 and Revo? I have 32K on the OEM BFG's and I am almost due and really like the Revo's

If you are going for a more aggresive looking tire, go with the 265/70/17. Fills out the wheel wells and gives you almost a 1/2 inch of lift.
