    I have searched the forums over and over and i cannot get a definite answer.
    I am about to purchase tires for my 2016 SR5 crewmax on the stock 20s, i just installed a 2" leveling front kit and would like to put the tallest and widest tires on, i have already removed the mud flaps and don't mind very minor rubbing which i can use a heat gun to fix.
    I was looking at 305x55/20 but they do not look tall enough, the width is good but i would like them a bit taller. Please help

    Thanks, i did go to that site but i am still ignorant to those specs, i would much rather hear from the ppl who actually have them on their trucks,another thing i forget to mention, i have fender flares on so i would like to get the tires extended out to the flares and tall enough to close the huge gap in the wheel well.
    Anyone with 2'' front lift looking like that and what are issues you run into?I am looking at 3 sizes, 305x55/20,295x60/20 or 33x12.5/20,What do you suggest. Thanks

    Tundras fit 33 inchers stock, so if you install 33-34 inch tall tires with your lift you will be good to go. Width matters however as does wheel offset. The 12.50 width could cause some rubbing or issues. If you stick with metric LT tires around 11 to 11.5 inches wide you should be good.

    Use this to see the width and height- just plug in the tire size you are considering. It is not perfect since tire manufactures may be a touch shorter/taller etc but it will give you the basic info you need

    Got it, thanks a mill. I am going with 295x60/20. Its tall enough i wish it were a bit wider but almost a full inch wider than stock so it should be ok.
    Thanks again. Will post

    Check your clearance on the UCA. That is what I would be most concerned with going wide. I am going taller and 1/2" narrower than OEM 285/55/20. With that tire I have a 1/2" clearance at the UCA.
