Tire options

Hey everyone, hope all is well?

So I have been thinking about this for the last two months. I have 265/65/17s right now. Stock sr5 sport 2x4. If I buy tires I'm looking at somewhere close between $800-1300 like this:https://www.walmart.com/ip/Wrangler-Duratrac-P-265-65R17-SL/43086976


Or just mount these p265/75/r18 wheels: *see attached image.


My issue is my OEM rims are curb thrashed and even painting them black would still not cover the damages, plus the rims are 20+ years old.

I was told some Chevy, dodge stocks fit on our 1st gens! If I knew what I'd be able to know what to search for, what I have learned is that 6x5.5 is 6x139.7

If I have to remove the little mudflaps for bigger tires, I’m OK with that.

Even though you have a Sequoia, this info is very relevant to you. You'll have more in common with the DC than any other FGT So ... you wanna buy / just bought a 1st Gen Tundra, eh? | Toyota Tundra Forum

Suspension and wheel/tire offerings fit differently between AC/RC and the DC. If you install the lift you saw on your favorite DC truck into your AC/RC you likely WILL NOT get the same result. Your AC/RC truck is lighter, slightly different suspension, thus you'll see more lift, possibly over-extending and damaging stuff or leaving you with serious squat issues. Likewise, for wheels/tires, DC trucks seem to rub more easily than AC/RC trucks with 32.5 - 33.5" tires (and larger).

• Wheel fitment (backspacing/offset info) ... backspacing/offset plays a HUGE role in whether or not you'll rub with larger-than-OEM tires. If you need help understanding what ballpark to play in, this is a good thread to read. Gist: Best fit to put you near the fender edge w/o rub on 8½" wide wheel is ~4¾" backspace, 9" wheel aim for ~4.5" backspace. Popular Tundra OEM 7½" wheels had 5" backspace, Tacoma OEM is not ideal at 5.5" backspace. With leveling, oversize 275/70r17 tires on 17x8.5" wheels @ 0 offset (i.e. 4.75" backspace) should only have minor rub.

• Wheel fitment (caliper rub): If your truck has larger 13WL calipers, beware of caliper rub on 16" wheels! 13WL is std on 2003+

• Wheel fitment (from other Tundras): 2007-2022 Tundras use 5-lug wheels. In 2023, Tundras started using 6-lug axles again, but the hub bore is smaller (95mm on 3rd gen vs. 106mm on 1st gen), so they technically won't work unless you spend a couple hundo on custom-made spacers.

• Some other tire size considerations see HERE and more over HERE.

• Wheel fitment (from other Toyota models): Anything from PRE-2024 Tacomas, 4Runners, Land Cruiser, LX470 and GX models that are 6-lug will typically fit. Someone here is probably running it already, and pics of it are in the OEM wheels thread. Make sure the hub bore is 106.1mm on the donor wheels else you need hubcentric adapters.

 

You can get lucky on marketplace or OfferUp and buy some new Tacoma or 4Runner take offs. Seen stock wheels with new BF KO2 go for $500-800

 

I’ve got no problem going that route. I just need to know what years that will both directly onto my SUV
