255/80R17 tire size

good point. Looks good

 

Got Goodyear Duratrac RT in 255/80R17 P/N 176315991 mounted on a set of used Tacoma TRD Sport wheels:



Everything clears with stock suspension. Front fender liner clearance and mud flap / cab mount clearance:



So far the tires are doing great. The 60 mph steering shimmy with (worn) BFG Winters is gone. The highway howl I experienced with gen-1 Duratracs is gone.

 

Front: JBA upper arms with Dobinsons MRR 3 way adjustable extended shocks
Rear: ICON overland springs (lots of weight inside the rear cargo area and plan to add a rear bumper within the next 18 months) and Dobinsons extended travel shocks (non 3 way adjustable) I will upgrade these probably when I add the rear bumper.

 

Rears no issue at all. Fronts, I couldn't even get my car out of the driveway with out cutting the body mounts and grinding down the pinch welds.

 

with a eibach trd pro lift which i think is 2.5" lift. Running 0 offset wheels AT4 255/80/17, i didnt rub daily driving. The only rub i ever noticed, was the front right tire when going into a driveway while turning right, it rubbed a little of the front mudflap. So i went and removed the front mudflaps and bought the delete kit for the rears. I think it looks better that way anyways! But i did not need to do any BCM, if it helps is a 24 TRD Pro

 

How much if you dont mind thanks

 

How much lift do you have up front?

 

One and three quarters/2 inch on the other side to make up for the lean

 

Right at 3"

 

Thank you all for all the info 255/80/17 here I
Come …

 

What's the setup in these pics?

 

C load?

 

I could only ever find 255's in E load.

 

Some 255/75R17 are available in C load
All the 255/80R17 that I know are E load only

 

My next tire size is 255. Not sure 75 or 80. But this thread has me convinced.

 

255/80, I feel, is perfect. It fits so nicely on a lift.

 

Any recs for chains that fit 255/80/17?

 

Peerless, Laclede

 

We have been on 255/75 for 30,000 miles so far. Stock ride height, K02. No regrets.

 

When you go to the 255 85 s does the tire start to actually measure out a little wider?

 

I joined the pizza cutter cult yesterday. Falken Wildpeak AT4's.

 

Nice, you got a matching spare too! Have KDSS? How is the spare fitment under there?

 

Congrats! You'll never look back. 255/80R17 is the only way to go.

 

Actually I have 2 matching spares, for a planned trip to Alaska in June. It's an SR5 so no KDSS. I cannot speak to the spare fitment as I cut the 2 horse shoe brackets off when we installed the rear bumper.

 

Nice, did you get alloy or steel wheels for spares? Where does the second spare go, on the roof? Do you rotate all 6 or 5?

 

For what it's worth I have a 22 ORP with KDSS and the spare fits just fine.

 

Yeah mine too, but I have to play with it when raising the spare trying to pull towards bumper and to the right, lest it ends up too close to the left side kdss boot, can barely fit a pinky in there

 

I have factory snow flake wheels on the spares. 2nd spare lives in the rafters in the garage using a block-and-tackle. It'll go on the roof for extended road trips.
I will do 6 tire rotation.

 

I’ve seen conflicting answers on this, but will a 255 80R17 on OEM non-TRD wheels fit without rubbing or trimming anything?

 

No issues. I had steel oem wheels btw in the beginning.
