    Hi! So I was thinking of getting new tires for my truck once it gets leveled, I would only be raising the front to match the rear (I was told that would be around a 2” lift on the front). I know that I want to keep the 16” rims and I was not looking to do any trimming to avoid tires rubbing with the truck, which would be the biggest tire size i could get in this case? I was thinking 265/70R16? Or are there bigger tires that wont require me to do any trimming? Thank you in advance!

    I would stay with the stock wheels, no plans for wheel spacers, i do some off roading but nothing too wild.

    A 265/75/16 will fit easily with no issues. 265/70/16 was the factory size for a lot of tundras.

    Understood, yeah I was reading that post that you linked earlier and I think the 75’s would work perfectly since it says it makes the tires taller but not wider.

    I did 255x85xr16 on the stock wheels and used 1.25" spacers to get them flush with the flares.
