I got that size off the web for a tire size calculator. It said the 325/75/16 is 35.19 tall tire. If u punch that size on goggle search u find it a lot on the Tacoma sites. I'm was just wanting to k kw basically what I should go with as size a 315/75/r16 which came up as a 34.5 or the 325/it/r16. Wanting to know What most other people r running size wise.

If it's 4x4 you will be able to with just torsion bars cranked. In standard, these tires come to 35x12.5x16 right? I was running on 35x12.5x17 with just t-bars cranked. You will need to do some trimming.

Well I had got my money together to get my new tires. I had told them I wanted 315/75/r16 an they told me they wouldn't fit on my factory wheel. I said I've talked to many of people that had them. They said no they wouldn't. I said ok what about a 305/75/r16? They said they wouldn't ethier. The biggest I could fit would be a 285/75/r16. Obviously they don't know what they r talking about. Its 03 f150 supercrew 4x4.

It may fit the factory wheel, but since the wheel doesn't have much back spacing or offset, and the tires are wider it might rub on things like your ball joints and such. I don't know how wide your wheels are, but the ones I have in the pic I added up above where 17x8.

I had a tire place tell me that my wheel wasn't wide enough, but it was lol, but I'd talk to them again and ask them what the problem would be. Would the wheel not be wide enough? Would it rub up on things like your ball joint? Etc. If they say the wheel isn't wide enough, tell them shove it, put the tire on the wheel and show me.
