Worse than I thought… 285s on my 2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Was it a mistake putting these 285/70r17 BFGoodrich KO2s on my 2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro? It rubs… quite a bit. And I cringe often while driving. This is a stock TRD Pro. Keep in mind the 22 TRD Pro comes with a slightly higher lift than previous years.
I have a few options…
1. Buy an Icon lift kit… similar to what I had on my “old” 2017 Cement Grey Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro.
2. Buy a Westcott Designs perch lift and call it good.
3. Sell the Tacoma and buy a 2023 Ram TRX Sandblast Edition …well, because Merica.
What are your thoughts?
Appreciate you watching as always.

That offset is a lot to overcome, it’s why I kept it TRD Pro wheels on my 4Runner with 2” spacer lift.
I’m running 285 -12 and slapping on the Wescott lift fixed my rubbing issue.
That looks really good. I feel you on the rub noise though. Even though it barely damages anything, that sound is like a nail-biting experience for some reason lol.

It barely damages anything until you take it off the pavement.
Thanks for the video. Would it matter in terms of rubbing if you were to get a 2" spacer with that set up?
How do you think 265-70/17 -12 offset would have worked? I have a 23' and I'm trying to make a decision. Thanks
Have you tried heating up the Fender liner with a heat gun and pushing It forward some of my buddies have done that And they've also done a cab mount Chop So what does it rub on the back
I like your Tacoma, I have a 2020 Pro in the Army Green and I’m a lot like you I didn’t want to change the truck from the stock stance and suspension setup. I did go up a tire size and put Method wheels 17x8.5 on and I think it sits perfect. Im not a off-roader per say but I do love to hike so getting to those trails heads & scenic views does take some off-roading . I’m not afraid to use it but I didn’t want any rubbing issues and I don’t. And in saying all that I think you have it figured out two options go down a tire size or buy the Westcott collar lift. Thanks for your insight & reviews !
The perch lift would have the least impact on stock ride quality so that's what I would do, and it's the cheapest lol.
would 275/70r17 tires rub with a stock 2023 Tacoma TRD Sport with the mudflaps? even if i switch wheels with the 4runner pro wheels?
I put 285’s on the 4Runner but I had to lift it 3”. Get Fox 2.5 and lift it 3”. I think the Tacoma looks sweet with a 4” lift with 34” tires
I just bought a set of 265 75r16 Toyo tires KMC with zero offset. It looks awesome with my stock suspension and my truck is a 2 wheel drive. No rubbing no trimming or cutting needed the perfect combination.

Nice man! This is good to know. Glad you didn’t have to trim!
One option, drop to 32 inch tires and sell your current 285 tires, or you add a spacer in the front and a block spacer in the rear to keep the truck level, I wouldn't change out the stock Fox shocks, unless your planning on going off road.
Running stock suspension on my OR and running 285s currently. Had to get a CMC and good amount of trimming. I will say it was all worth it. For what its worth
Was wondering if you're gonna install a rear differential breather or just keep the stock rear diff breather set-up? I'm thinking about getting an ARB rear diff breather kit for my 4R.

I considered a little smaller at the beginning but between the -20 offset and minor additional lift of the 23 Pro I had hope it’d work better with 285s. I was wrong though! I’m definitely open minded to a tire drop drop but wonder if the Westcott perch lift will do the trick at this point.
I'm guessing it's the negative offset. What is the offset, -14?
Is the intention to run a 33 in tire? Maybe you can run a pizza cutter 255/80/17 instead. That way you can keep the height & sidewall while reducing the rolling resistance

Yeah there was a slight rub and it was lifted and trimmed. =\ not an ideal setup for off-roading
Westcott easy fix, then do the same to Tundra..then all 3 match with Westcott. Perfect setup!
Currently running SEMA TRD pro wheels 17x7 +4 offset , fitted with nitto graplers 285/70r17 no rubbing issues at all with mud flaps. Also running bilstein 5100 lift, 2 front 1 rear. 0 offset is pretty much the sweet spot. If your offset is negative, 100% it will rub and needs modification like cmc or cab mount relocation etc. lifting it more is not really going to help to fix the rubbing issues. Or maybe try the SPC adjustable UCA.

So there’s some confusion here. I also own the 2022 ELM PRO. It has a 1.5” factory lift over the TRD OR in the front and a 0.5”lift in the rear, again over the OR. Prior year PROs which were 1” over the TRD OR in the front and 0” higher in the rear. So, this year the TRD PRO is 0.5” higher in the front and the rear over the prior year PROs.

-20 offset is way to much for stock you need a 2inch lift and a CMC I needed that to clear the frame with a -18 and the same size tire

i would cut that plastic right out of there, if your that OCD then your never gonna go off road anyway, you can fit 37"s with a 3" lift on a tacoma, sure you have to cut and chop but nothing comes without paying a price. if you want more of a lift you can do an AAL in the rear and spacers on your coileovers, rear shocks would need an extension kit which is cheap and easy. I'm putting 35"s on my 2nd gen with a cab mount chop and getting rid of anything that rubs.
Why don’t none of you guys do 0 offset. Everyone always with the 12mm stay rubbing

Ones buys a lesser model and upgrades that. So you are 0 for 3, at least. Please, for your own safety, and mine, stay off the trails until you learn more about the basics.
